I disagree on it being pointless, America has a long history of ignoring racism. Has it even been a month since Fort Bragg had it’s name changed? And that’s not even scratching the surface of addressing our systemic racism.
While I do agree with you, it’s important to remember that the statues of all the confederates in the united states where mostly made in the 50’s and 60’s (referring to the timing of it)… I think, but at least it’s something.
Calling this “almost pointless” is just borderline racist. There is never a discussion on the utility of a statue when a white colonizer gets immortalized.
It’s always important that we focus on commemorating, and creating lasting examples of society’s faults. So that we never forget, for the sake of not repeating history. It’s truly monstrous what mankind is capable of doing to one another, especially if it’s somehow encouraged.
But, there are more pressing matters. A portion of government employees should be tasked with preserving our historical mistakes. The President, as Chief of State, needs to focus on successfully leading us into a prosperous future. Directly combating that which immediately affects the masses, such as America’s pestilent crime endemic would benefit more people quicker. Today, millions in our own country suffer from homelessness, poverty, addictions, physical/mental/emotional/sexual/drug abuse, medical conditons (caused by a miriad of pollutants in air, Earth, water, and diet), crime, harassment, and so much more.
Yeah I see that. Idk I guess my mind is more on a side quest of something else I believe is hurting America. It’s good that if that’s something you appreciate and find important that your spreading your word. Everyones got a different role to play in trying to make this a better place.
Weird… It’s so late it’s almost pointless. How about publicly break Roger stone and the American mafia.

Yeah I get it. I can tell that I definitely have a different life perspective than the two users that replied.
I guess I just really have no faith in America changing. It’s dirty from top to bottom.
