Topic	George Floyd was a piece shit
Antifar 07/29/21 9:09:21 AM #37:	pinky0926 posted... I do think there is an interesting point to make about the role of statues and monuments here, though. Like we might argue, "its not who he was as a person. Its what he represented as a symbol. He sparked a revolution in freedom and police brutality. He represents our feelings about this problem" etc. But like...isn't the exact opposite applied to so many removals of statues? Founding fathers, lincoln, etc. I mean, no one asked for George Floyd statues. You could've attended dozens of protests last year and not found one person calling for the erection of a statue to Floyd. They asked for, as a bare minimum, police being held accountable and their role reduced, and instead they've mainly got apologies from sitcom writers and symbolic platitudes. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:956571784] in George Flo...
