It is beginning to appear that no statue of a white man is safe. Nothing racist about that.

Honestly, if people had come together in agreement that public monuments celebrating the Confederacy should come down then this current situation (which in many instances is an overcorrection IMO) would likely not be taking place. I don't understand why doing away with public Confederate statues was such an issue.

Or if people had come together in agreement that they shouldn't come down, same result.

My own opinion (bet you thought I'd never share that) is that they should be moved to museums, battlefield sites where they fought, or cemeteries where they are buried.

But this is the left's solution to every issue, if you just give in to me, there won't be any problem. On some issues--and for me this is not one--I am simply unwilling to just give in. Compromise is not I give in to you on everything. Compromise is I give in to you on something and you give in to me on something.

Suppose you want to take the statues down. What are you willing to give in return to get that?
