I’ve felt for a long time there’s a way to handle the confederate statue issue in a positive way.1) Remove the statues and store them in a museum somewhere, & 2) Have local & national contests for contemporary artists to replace them in the places where they once stood. #artheals

The Germans don’t have statues of World War II Nazi leaders to remind the German people of their history. A statue in a public place is a sign of honor and should be reserved for that.

No - the reminders of the Holocaust in Poland honor the victims & heroes, not the perpetrators! And a comparison between slavery & the Holocaust is not “complete ignorance” at all. Both involved collectivized expression of pure evil and massive suffering among millions of people.
