The notion that the flags and statues are racially motivated is a product of those who are in fact racially motivated. Those who would exploit racism to their benefit.
Minority and special interests that when all gets said and done are still the minority.....but treat by the media and politicians as though they were representative of the American people in general.
They are not.

It is more about sensitivity now in 2017 with what African American slaves went through when they were in bondage. I do not have a problem with moving these monuments to places where historians and history lovers can view them without fear of reprisals of some kind. We should not forget history but that goes for both sides. And things have changed quite a bit in the US since we have a African-American President for eight years. There is no way to go back to what things were like before 2009 even if some people want to try.
