[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You are completely missing the issue. No one is "offended by history." And changing who is honored in public spaces isn't changing history. It is decided what we value as a society today. Where are the statues of Judas Iscariot? Is he not a part of history? Are we changing history by not having a giant statue of Judas in common areas? No, of course not. You are being deliberately obtuse to try to hide the fact that you are a reactionary.[/quote] Apples and oranges. Big difference from a mob taking down statues, too. And, defacing them--like the statue of the abolitionist in Philly that was attacked. The mob didn't even know what it was doing. History is history. Destroying statues doesn't change it. It might contribute to keeping us from learning from it.[/quote] History isn't learned from statues. It is learned from books. Destroying statues doesn't change history. So what exactly is your complaint? [/quote]
