Leaders across the country have removed or accelerated plans to remove statues to the Confederacy in the wake of violence and death at a white nationalists rally in Charlottesville. What do you think should happen in Richmond?
Remove them and put them in museums
Keep them and add context
Nothing. They're fine as is
Remove them

LEAVE ALONE bump!
I voted a day or two ago to just leave them along, and found a really serious majority had voted the same .. and at that time ALL the comments were opposed to taking down the statues. This is crazy stuff, and will be looked back on as a time of sheer idiocy in our nation.
Leave them where they are and hot wire them with a 14,000 volt feed.
They’re not gonna like the results thus far.
I also vote that C Ville and McAuliffe should demolish Monticello
And UVA. So what if they’re gold mines. It’s all about the anti racism slavery principles, right?
Well. Right?
The entire South is complicit in the horrible history of slavery. We need to tear down the entire South, and boot them out, to form their own country. I hear they have a flag already.
don’t tOUCH them!!!
I have Ani Yun Wiya (Cherokee) heritage...
The name of your state offends me...Change it....
During the 2012 campaign Michelle said Barack has a lot of work to do to change our history and traditions. Looks like the left is continuing his work.
I remember when they put up the Arthur Ashe statue and I thought: “A tennis player among those Generals? That just makes him look silly.”
They should have Giant Plaques put up saying:
Proud Progressive Democrat
Maybe a good cleaning?
I see what you did there. :)
WE HAVE TO START FIGHTING!!! TIME FOR TALK IS OVER AS STATUE AFTER STATUE COMES DOWN NOW FOR 2 YEARS!!
THEY WANT TO TAKE COLUMBUS STATUE DOWN IN NYC!!
#### that. These mother ####ers better be prepared for hell because there will be more Italians surrounding that statue than there are police in Manhattan. BTW, MANY of the police ARE Italian American!!
And many of the protesters will be construction workers and electricians and plumbers and firemen and even cops!!!
Blue collar guys that have NO PROBLEM ####ING UP antifa animals.
I plan to put a few in the hospital myself if it comes to blows.
They’re not going anywhere. Why? Because Richmond was the capital of the Confederate States of America for several years and there is a lot of Confederate history in that city.
I choose #4 - build more.
Leave them alone.
Tear *it* down and I might support bringing down such statues.
..nothing
