Did you ever think that maybe people are becoming more educated on certain topics and therefore see how dumb it was to put up a statue like this in the first place?

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?
