Richmond is taking down Confederate statues: Is this the end for other Confederate memorials?

Not a problem with me friend. Statues are idiotic imo.
Then why the year it down statement? Statues are history and art. It allows us to remember history and gives us a perspective outside of right here, right now.

I dunot understand the need to destroy everything that may be somewhat controversial. We're a society of 5 years olds who can't handle anything anymore.

If we have monuments to Communists standing in America this must be allowed as well. Goose and Gander.

Why didn’t you lefties want statues down and riot when Obama was your daddy for 8 years?
Is getting angry at equality the only way you can get it up? Explains why you're so fiesty on a Friday night hun.
 
How is the presence of an inanimate object connected to equal rights for living, breathing people in any way? Help me out here.
Why don't we scatter statues of Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels, Hess, Goering, and Eichmann in Israel?

Listen, I don't agree with what the Confederate cause. Slavery is wrong and they fought for it which makes what they did very wrong. Still, using equality as your reasoning for wanting it removed isn't sensible since the statue is an inanimate object that has no influence over anything.

The reason many desire for them to removed is the desire to erase history. Right now it's removing statues. Eventually the woke mob will demand that schools not teach students about many parts of American history because it's racist. When history's mistakes are forgotten, those mistakes will be repeated.

First of all, I didn't use equality as the reason to remove Confederate statues. I said getting angry at equality is the only way @AirVol can get it up.

Secondly, the statues should be removed because they idolize treasonous traitors who wanted to destroy this country. They were the Al-Qaeda of the 1800's, the most Anti-American POS's ever.

Statues aren't history and inanimate objects like burning crosses, nooses, structures with the N word written on them, and unjust laws impact equality all the time
