(+) Yeah! (+)

build statues of important black people next to all of them. :u That way we're creating something instead of destroying something. There are plenty of people to choose from too. Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks, Rupaul, etc.

Then everyone will be happy. The racists get to keep their stupid statues and everyone else gets a statue to honor someone important. :o No more fighting

Admittedly, it's not the worst idea I've heard.

Or we could just leave the statues alone.

"Show me on the doll where the statue touched you"

I would enjoy this

I kinda liked Bill Maher's idea

How about we stop appeasing the racists and just continue to tear down their iconography while also erecting statues to honor the people that confederates fought to keep in bondage. Best of both worlds.

I enjoy the tears people shed over confederate statues getting removed but I would also get a kick out of people freaking out about black statues being erected right beside it

Hell, tear them down and build statues honoring the victims of slavery with the remains of the Confederate statues.

Make a statue punching the original statue in the face and then make another statue punching the new one. Continue making statues until you run out of materials or get tired.

Nah. Replace them all with a statue of either Nat Turner, William Tecumseh Sherman,or John Brown. We'll even let them choose which.
