So on display in the middle of downtown is not only the wrong message, but the entire goal of the people who chose to spitefully erect them. So, yeah, get them out of the public eye.

Polycosm 08/15/17 10:47:17 AM #10:	I don't think that every historical figure with a controversial past needs to have his statue removed from public land. The founding fathers were all complicated and flawed men, who contributed great ideas to the moral fabric of our country... and who also committed crimes against humanity. I don't believe that monuments to Thomas Jefferson ought to be relegated to museums. Jefferson, for all his flaws, still represents certain positive aspects of the American ethos. However, most of the Confederate statues really don't have any place outside of a museum, imho. Outside of maybe a couple of exceptions, there isn't any redeeming symbolism to be found in them. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

Leading traitors to our country don't deserve to be honored in major public spaces, so you can move those to museums that want them. And then you have figures like Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was behind a massacre of black American troops and was a major force behind the Klan's early years, should absolutely be tossed in the garbage.

There's really no reason for them to be in public since it upsets people and if you are going to argue it should stay for history sake then you can just go visit the museum for said history <cite>Axiom posted [p:884840931] in Should Con...

Sad_Face 08/15/17 6:41:08 PM #40:	I personally feel it should stay just to represent the history and how people of that area felt about him during that time. But I don't feel strongly enough to care whether it stays or goes. I would rather it go to a museum to preserve history over it being outright destroyed though. If this is in regards to Robert E. Lee statue. --- imgtc.com/i/4HgTl0ebzq.jpg imgtc.com/i/60CWP2Gtlg.gif <cite>Sad_Face posted [p:884841117] in Should Con...

You see a lot of pro-segregation, anti-civil rights groups, christian identity groups and white supremacists behind them, political power using white supremacy to push against desegregation and shared class interest and pushing a racial divide. They are a glorification of slavery and icon of intimidation and threat to black and mixed communities in the south. They aren't about the civil war or history, they are about dickhead racists making a statement of oppression. --- Feel free to add me on Steam - S.T.I.N.K.E.R. <cite>g7g7g7g7 posted [p:884842679] in Should Con...
