Seeing people comment on here "I moved here from California, this is so bad to see... blah blah."
You know what? A LOT of people have lived in this state for centuries. Then you move to Virginia because the grass is GREENER (thank you VA low taxes) over here , doesn't mean you get to change our history/heritage. Stop thinking the new states you move to are expected to conform to YOUR beliefs!
This statue debate is pure political specitcal, and only left-wing fringe lunatics see this statue as the focal point of all issues plaguing our nation. I can understand providing context around the statue, but removal is revisionist history.
I am so certain that once the statue is gone, all the issues affecting black people in Richmond will just vanish. Right? Nothing to do with fatherless homes, poverty, lack of education... the list goes on. But yeah, that statue is the REAL problem.
