Well by that logic, then we should also remove all monuments and statues of FDR because of racism against Japanese Americans when he ordered the blatantly unconstitutional interment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Any symbols of the Supreme Court that made brazenly unconstitutional decisions allowing that internment must also be removed form Washington D.C. There was no justification ever for rounding up our Japanese citizens and shipping them off to prison camps in remote locations. There was no significant evidence that Japanese citizens were doing anything to disrupt our war effort against Japan.
So FDR was clearly a bigot and racist against Japanese Americans, and by Pelosi’s logic then all statues of FDR have to go from the Capitol area and the FDR monument also must be torn down and removed from Washington DC. As my mother said once when talking about the 1940s and 1950s, “everybody was much more bigoted back then...and bigotry was acceptable in society.” What this shows is that times have changed and our society has advanced greatly since then. It’s a bad precedent to start removing historical monuments from our country, but if Pelosi insists then all monuments and statues of FDR must also be removed from Washington D.C.
Yes. And by logic if the entire Confederate history is to be expunged it seems logical to remove all states that were confederate.
