Might as well burn down Rome as every monument left from the Roman Empire was built on the back of slaves and conquered cultures. Can't have those left standing.
This statue removal is going to open a massive can of worms. Where do we draw the line?

Nobody is saying to outright destroy the statues. Just put them in a museum somewhere. It would also be different if those statues were hundreds or thousands of years old. They have been around roughly 50 or so years in a lot of cases. That's nothing.
