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

We as the human race. I think you qualify

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

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.
