No one needs to have "yes, the south was, and still is racist" shoved in their faces every time they want to visit a public park.
If that sentiment bothers you, then look inward as to why.

You first.
Didn't seem to bother anyone for the past hundred years. But, then again maybe they knew something we don't? Or, maybe they weren't "sensitive" to "feelings."
Thanks for the laugh today. My wife almost fell out of her chair laughing at my being called a racist and white supremacist. Maybe some day I'll let you in on the reason.
Sorry, not your fault. Some folks are just emotional and take a discussion and make it into an AGENDA and take any controversial subject and make a verbal war of it.
Yes, tear down those bad statues. Plant a tree for the tree huggers. Hey, don't get me wrong, I love trees. Especially fruit trees, because they make good fuel for smoking meat.
