History is history. Hiding or destroying statues doesn't change that.
It doesn't, so why so much fuss when they are no longer appropriate to be celebrated?
One thing I respect you for, naomi, is that you are perfectly able to wholeheartedly disagree with somebody on one thread and one subject, but then totally agree on a different one about something else. Many ABers can't do that. It isn't hypocritical, it's context. This is the same.

Exactly the opposite. I'm listening to what everyone else thinks... I'm white, so wouldn't understand it myself, but it isn't all about me. If other people are finding it inappropriate, offensive, outdated, why not listen?
I knew you would say that, naomi, with no real reason given.... but sometimes, society just doesn't listen. It is still ruled by those who hate change and feel threatened by "others". There is a lot of living in the past on this site in general, and while history may be important (and can't be changed, no matter what). At some point, we need to think about future generations too.

If someone good works go on for so many years beyond the bad things they did there must come a point where we should accept the good outweighs the bad. The lives saved are so many more than those destroyed. An honest memorial that explains the past but acknowledges that everyone is working to ensure that the good will grow for everyone.
