There are people in this world that complain about anything and everything. If you haven’t met someone like this yet, you must be too young to get out of the house by yourself.
Personally, I think that Confederate statues and markers should be left alone. They are a reminder of what happens when people can’t sit down and solve their differences - millions die. But, if it makes some feel better, then taking down statues from public property is okay too. Not from private property and certainly not from cemeteries.
Exactly what good is being done by trying to erase history is still a mystery to me. It may not mean much when it’s over.
Comedian Dick Gregory, who died recently, told a story about segregated restaurants. He said, "I sat a lunch counter for nine months until they desegregated. Then they didn’t have anything I wanted."
Be careful folks. It would be really stupid to fight another civil war over the one we had.
