I get and understand why some black people might find a statue of a Confederate soldier "offensive". Just like I think that some people might find monuments to others "offensive".So where’s the Hitler statue? A statue of Hitler is not the same as a statue of an American soldier. Like it or not it's a FACT that confederate soldiers during that time were in FACT Americans. Put it this way. Yes some of the population of our city/county might have been "offended" by the fact that a statue that has been in place well over a century. Did anyone even consider that what that statue signified being taken down in the middle of the night (cowardly) might be "offensive" towards the people that it memorialized? The so-called "educated" or "woke" people might see it as "dumb", but those with a more proper education might just understand what it symbolized. When are the "educated" people going to take down this monument? Was the treatment of the Sioux or Cheyenne better or worse than the slaves during that time? There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. |
