We could start attacking their statues over Achilles heels of their “heroes.” Remember you can’t defund the National Endowment for the Arts over offensive things like “Piss Christ” but we must stop honoring all (white, even Spanish) significant figures in our history because they were creatures of their times. All the while, we’re supposed to celebrate “indigenous” figures while knowing nothing about their bloodthirsty histories. If we’re going to be fair, we must be consistent. Else we’re creating a culture that only honors “POC” (which we are on the verge of becoming) and denigrates Whites. Having an education union endorsed policy of cutting Whites over less senior “POC” is corrosive and another example of choosing racism in the name of “healing.” Conservatives see these statues as conversation starters and a means of preserving our shared national history.

Newark NJ put a statue of George Floyd in front of city hall, and removed a Columbus statue from a park (it had been donated by Italian-Americans nearly a century before). The suburbs around Newark kept their Columbus statues and have none for George Floyd.

We are not one country anymore, and the divide is no longer regional (north/south); we are divided between those who seek opportunity through perseverance/work and the idle parasites who live off the labor of that group. The welfare reservations aren’t just “food deserts”; they are “opportunity deserts” that have evolved into ranches where Dem politicians herd their envious unassimilated bio-weapons.

What are they going to do about the super high murders and killings numbers in Chicago, by some distance the highest in the country?

Well said.

They took a few pounds off of Moochell didn’t they? She never looked like that.

Here is a good and appropriate suggestion from New Orleans which "celebrates the end of slavery":

What you don’t see in the video is Chicago cops in the background standing around and not rushing forward to defend the cops getting attacked.

Big city cops will never risk their fat asses for anything, including fellow cops.
