dit 46,738 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 about time! no one who did slavery should have ANYTHING to publicly commemorate them. ENOUGH. Some figures of the past are meant to remain in history books and that's it. Not have statues as a public daily reminder of the atrocities they have committed.

weed 78,885 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I think that's positive but then aren't most historical leaders somewhat evil? Alexander the Great for example, conquering entire nations I'm sure wasn't rainbows and butterflies for those conquered everyone who ruled over the entire British Empire, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably every state started with someone conquering somebody else. But I noticed that the backlash is against more recent historical figures.

It’s quite enlightening to learn that people are not cartoon characters. Great heroes can have skeletons in their closet. People can have contradictory behaviour. Gee, who knew? Or should we teach that people are only black or white? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
