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.
Good points.

This all started back in 2016 as part of that "tantrum a week" flurry that plagued America. Confederate statues, metoo, people having their "bathroom rights" violated or something...I'm sure people can remember a lot of the others. I prefer not to.

I have no doubt that there ARE sincere people who want the statues removed for righteous reasons. But for others, it is nothing more than virtue-signaling, and all that posturing is beyond a bit tiresome.

Maybe we need to grow up.
