Going by your logic then this should be removed and taken out.Many of these statues went up long after the civil war during periods of racial unrest. They were an intentional slap in the face to black people.
Fetishizing and celebrating racists and traitors is bad.
The state capitol of Mississippi has a bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest displayed. He was a grand wizard in the Ku Klux Klan, and the Republican party had blocked removal of the bust.
How would you feel if you were black and a Klan leader was celebrated in your state capitol?
Because he was racist to right? had slaves to right? what about Washington? should his statues be taken down to?
