The New Neo-Nazi Right

[A Black Falcon]

Oh, there's a big "destroy it" crowd out there on the internet. And it's not only that; Baltimore just took down four Confederate statues, and I believe they said they will probably destroy them. That would be unfortunate.

On another note though, I like how nationwide Confederate memorials are coming down or being moved to less prominent locations. That includes here in Maine, as this shows: http://www.pressherald.com/2017/08/19/bo...al-plaque/

Your idea for a replacement is a "heart is in the right place" sort of idea. The history should be preserved, and will be, but putting giant statues of black slaves out there in the open for every black person to have to see every time they walk by is... problematic. Such statues are best put in places specifically dedicated to those lessons and not more general locations.

I was thinking of Germany there, and how they have so many monuments to the Nazis' victims. Why shouldn't we do something similar? It'd probably be a good idea...
