[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most Northern college towns haven’t had a statue celebrating the fight for slavery. Overt racism is the low-hanging fruit.

Systemic racism is a larger beast we do all need to address. It will take much longer to undo the damage of generations of slavery and poverty.

Oh, there are statues to confederate people in states that didn't fight on the confederate side. I thought everyone knew that. Wow.

Systemic racism is everywhere. It's in schools, the workplace, local and state government, law enforcement. Everywhere. Too many northerners fold their arms and think this isn't their problem. Stop pointing down at Charlottesville and start working at your own table. If you aren't addressing this stuff in your family, in your workplace, and in your town, you are the problem. [/quote]

I’m addressing it in my family and town. You?

What confederate statues are in Cambridge, MA? New Haven, CT? Burlington, VT? Syracuse, NY? Amherst, MA? Ithaca, NY? Ann Arbor, MI? Providence, NH?
