On the flip side if you're a black kid that walks by such a statue every day that tells that kid something, more when they learn the history of a lot of these monuments and their actual purpose.
I do agree with burying though (though I'm a pack-rat at heart). I think I've read other places that have taken the monuments and put them in a more appropriate place, so that people could still see them, but they are put somewhere where they can be seen in a historical context.
