Where are all those statues to Hitler and Stalin and Saddam here in the USA so we can remember our history? Now is certainly the time to begin erecting a few nice Fidel Castro monuments. Let's be sure we have reminders of all the enemies of America in our squares so we don't forget our history. Certainly the Klan was a big part of American history. Be sure to name a few streets Ku Klux Klan way so our grandchildren can ask about the origin of the street name. If you petition the Morse family maybe you can get a new section of the development down South to honor George Wallace and David Duke, Bull Connor and James Earl Ray.

To help remember our history we need Lynching Lane and Segregation Street. We need Poll Tax Path and whatever creative and catchy remembrances you can imagine so we all remember our history better.

Or we can honor our better examples of citizenry. We can find people who believed in equality of whites and blacks, native americans and Asians. We can honor those who fought bigotry instead of those who so strongly believed in inequality that they were willing to kill Americans and died themselves rather than accept that POC were entitled to emancipation, the right to live with their spouse and children, not be subjugated and sold. Is it too much to ask that those statues honoring such traitors be torn down? Is it too much to suggest that naming a building or a street or a military facility for a bigot and a racist be undone? I am sorry it hurts your feelings that "those" people are getting their way finally with this issue. But I'll take you seriously when you suggest we do really need that Adolph statue to be sure we can all remember.

Remember more Americans died because of the war flagged by the Stars and Bars than the total of the wars instigated by Germany, the Viet Nam "conflict" Korea and the Revolutionary War combined. So let us all be sure to erect a few more statues honoring the heroes of the traitorous and racist Confederacy.
