You might argue that they shouldn't be in front of federal buildings, and I can agree with that. But why shouldn't they be allowed to have a statue of Jefferson Davis in Kentucky. Or have a statue of Lee in VA. That's part of their own state history.


And why shouldn't we be allowed to have them moved if we so choose, as was happening in Charlottesville?


Because they're kowtowing to people who are really not a part of their constituency and possibly even an overall minority of the country. Even a majority of black americans (according the polls presented in the following article) don't believe they should be removed.

African Americans - 44% believe they should stay
16% unsure
40% remove

Latin Americans - 65% believe they should stay
11% unsure
24% remove

White Americans - 65% stay
8% unsure
25% remove

If the community as a whole decides that they should be taken down, then fine. But I'm tired in general of businesses and government having to give in to the demands of a bunch of people who are angry at them. It's a herd mentality in the truest sense of the word phrase. A group is being herded by a few loud sheepdogs.
