People who have jobs don't care to defend the statues or want them torn down. It's all about having a life.

How does an inanimate object stop you from succeeding?

I literally get paid to drink beer for a living. I think I have done quite well for myself.

So now the defense is "Why should we care?"? In that case, what's the problem with taking them down?

More like "fuck your Civil Rights act of 1965. White supremacy is bae." Trophies. Over half of these statues weren't erected until after the start of the civil rights movement in the fifties. They weren't lovingly commemorating the past there. They were trying to stick it to the changing cultural values of their times.

I don't respect the cause I respect their determination to die for something they believed in. That takes balls
