Take the statue down.

Why? What good is that going to do for anyone, anywhere?
It's textbook modern day dogoodering. Making a difference without changing anything at all. Who the hell cares about stuff that happened 200 years ago? All it does is keep people from dealing with problems that are happening right now.
Slavery is alive and well RIGHT NOW. (I know it's a downer and nobody likes to talk about it) All the clothes in my closet, my computer, my chia pets. All likely made by slaves. Hopefully 200 years from now some dogooders will tear down my tombstone. That will really show me.
And besides, I don't think this is really about the statues for these KKK/Nazi guys. Give them their statues. They wouldn't know what to do next. It's all about starting a war for them. Don't give them one.
