[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We could tear down all the old plantation houses.  Or we could use them for something better.  [/quote]

I truly don't see the problem with tearing them down. [/quote]

Bury the past?[/quote]

Do you like confederate memorials too? [/quote]

I’m ok with turning them into something educational. I was a history major. [/quote]

Congrats on the degree. Explain to me how you take a confederate memorial and turn it into "something educational." And why that is preferable to removing them and replacing them with memorials for black people. [/quote]

Frankly this is why I think we have Trump as our president.  And I’m not certain he’s not going to be re-elected. I actually would be fine with removing the monuments. Idc. But some people do. And I do actually think there a middle ground where we can create memorials for black people alongside and with add signage about the bad and good things the white person did, when it was erected, and why it wouldn’t be erected today.
