I have been repeatedly socially ostrosized and called racist for thinking moving statues is ridiculous.

It's part of history whether you like it or not! As soon as we accept removing history to keep people from sometimes feeling said we're opening a very Daniel door.

That and it's expensive! Charlottesville, VA wanted to spend $300,000 to move a Lee statue. How about we deal with the homelessness problem, repair the buses, provide adaquet pay to park and rec classes, deal with racism in the school district, or fix the busted up roads before dealing with this? It's just not all that important on the bigger scale and $300,000 could be used to make such a greater impact.

But yeah, I'm racist for thinking removing a statue is an effective way to handle racial issues...

And I am so tired of hearing people say, "people shouldn't be have to to think about racism everytime they see a statue." Right, so people shouldn't think and we should try to forget about those atrocities. This is going to play out horribly.
