But seeing the real artifacts in museums was a lot better. I remember that stuff a lot better. Statues made in the 1960s aren't artifacts. By all means have museums have old documents, weapons, uniforms, flags, etc. You can even have a statue/model or two of relevant Confederate people. But that doesn't mean every General Lee statue made to intimidate black people because they can now use the same bathrooms deserves to be displayed. Maybe just save a couple of those to use as example of bullshit racial intimidation tactics. Maybe even in those exact words to describe them. --- S** I have to stop doing that," Gheb said, as he lay back down and died again.* - Forgotten Love The Chiefs won the Super Bowl! <cite>Gheb posted [p:940922732] in Removed St...

Are statues not a form of art? not all art belongs in a museum. to use a completely random example: art that was made during the civil rights movement, explicitly for the purpose of glorifying confederate leaders and intimidating black people, should probably not be on display anywhere unless it it properly contextualized. and even then, it's not necessary to have these statues in large numbers --- peanut butter and dick <cite>averagejoel posted [p:940988335] in Removed St...
