Funkydog 07/10/20 5:57:54 PM #9:	HerbSaunders posted... Shouldn't we technically get rid of every American monument erected before the end of the Jim Crow era? Shit.. Reagan had policies that were extremely racist. What about most old world monuments? Most people in power have always been evil fucks who did fucked up shit. Religious figures, monarchs, war heroes. Powerful historical figures who were known for pedophilia, rape, slavery, etc. This is not an argument for confederate monuments but a question on where the line should be drawn. You can still learn about the past without honouring people who did horrible things. Having constant reminders that people who oppressed others, or whoever it might be ancestors, lauded as "great people" isn't something we should want in a modern country. --- https://imgur.com/BGbZK <cite>Funkydog posted [p:941943738] in Does Germa...
