Does anyone think if a black nationalist went into a "historically white church" ala Dylann Roof, and killed a bunch of people, that the mainstream media would even suggest that black statues/monuments needed to be removed?

That wasn't monuments. It was the Confederate flag because Roof posed with a Confederate flag.
The monuments thing got started because the mayor of New Orleans wanted to get headlines.
