Instead of tearing down statues why not just add statues more relevant to todays prominent figures this way there will be a record of how far the we have come and a reminder of our past. By tearing down historical statues you set a precedent for the future, the statues erected today could be torn down a hundred years from now or sooner depending on the current feeling by the activists of tomorrow.
Surely all nations and empires have a history of slavery, oppression, wars and conquest?
BUT, if the LEFT/LIBS can not erase History, someone may figure out what THEY are up too!!!!!!!!
