Reply to comment by Kroxursox in Richmond, Virginia's last Confederate statue can be removed, judge rules by BollocksAsBalls

Maybe a museum. We can't forget what we did.

I would have said that, but I doubt it will fit, and I'm not sure what museum in Richmond it would fit in.

I prefer to smelt it down, but a battlefield is a solid option.

We don't learn anything from a statue. We learn in museums, school, and books.

Also, its not We. I didn't do that shit.

The museum of Soviet Socialist Art in Sophia is where the Bulgarians put all thier Soviet statues, the court yard has large statues, and indoors is painting and smaller busts.

We could make one for the traitors, and put all this junk there.

I'd rather not make a museum just for confederate shit that has literally no purpose. These statues were put up in tye 20th century.

The purpose would be “this shit really happened and these people were despicable. Here they all are in one convenient museum of awful human beings.”

Yeah well, we’ll know who to thank when the slavery/civil war deniers start gaining traction on facebook… 🤷🏻‍♂️

We as the human race. I think you qualify

Eh, museum of the confederacy grounds. Or their basement vaults.

So the slaves were not humans? Lol interesting take.

Oh come on. All humans are capable of such horrors. Haven't we proved that over history? I didn't gas Jews but I think a Holocaust museum is good for everyone. Don't you agree?

That's not what you said though. In context, yes I'm pk with museums showing human history.

I'm not ok grouping all humans as being monsters because of things past humans did.

I do not think we all have that in us.

I also wouldn't lump myself in with slave owners and nazis, simply because we are all humans. Reality is not black and white.

I think most of us do. I'm cynical. I've seen so much shit by so many people and countries on each other and the rest of the planet. Just in easily accessible news.

Change is the work of our lifetimes.

I'm skeptical, try that over cynicism. It leads to more correct conclusions.

The Holocaust museum doesn't celebrate the Holocaust, it shows the horrors of what happened.

It wouldn't be relevant for a museum of the confederacy. As a historical object it is relevant to understand the people who created it, not the people it depicts.

It's too bad we tore all those statues of what's his face so we don't know who the American Revolution was fought against.
