Thank you for apologizing, David. Now, I don't feel as angry as I have felt after trying to figure out your words and motives. Take care of yourself
and your family.
OK
Everyone else go back to the slime toss.....
At least two good guys are back in some form of harmony....

Thank you, Doug. I am not sure what you mean but I will try my best to accomplish what you say. I don't know anything about "cookies" (or
"browers") other than they are great to eat, normally.
An interesting point made in the "comments" on a site
“So, I have made my mission to protect that statue. Why not put a sign there that says why it’s there. Our Jewish brothers and sisters around the
world have monuments to the Holocaust. In Germany, they even having existing concentration camps for [people] to come in and see. This means that they
cannot deny what happened because there are Holocaust deniers. If you remove all evidence of slavery, it’s like it never happened. That’s exactly
what’s happening. Let it stand, put up another statue with signage.”

That is the take away here. History will be doomed to repeat itself if we forget the bad lessons that have already been learned.
But unfortunately, some are too soft to handle the brutal reality of our history. They would prefer to erase it. At least they wont have to see it
repeated in their lifetime. Screw the next generations. Lets spare the feelings of the here and now.
I Respectfully disagree. I have never celebrated genocide. On the contrary. I am glad I have had the opportunity to study it and respect the
sacrifices that have been made for the freedom of ALL Americans. We are very, very fortunate.
Looks similar to what I saw with people burning police cars and police stations. Not the way to do it. But time will tell what happens here in the
end. I hope for the best for ALL Americans.

Taking the knee at NFL games was also stated as, "Not the way to do it." So, if non-violent, silent protest is, "Not the way to do it" and not
setting your children atop a topled Serra statue is, "Not the way to do it", then what is the "right way"? for urgent, social/structural change?
