I don't support the removal of the statues because I think they hold great historical importance and should serve as a reminder of our pretty ugly history. Why bother making a terrible equivalency? Native American situation: Europeans (generations later, Americans) invade and progressively genocide and stomp out native population: Native population fought back where they could, violently so. Civil War: Confederacy attempted to save its economically lucrative slave trade by splitting from the U.S., caused entire conflict over their perceived right to own people. not comparable at all --- Enjoy movies and television?
