No, you don’t get it. They understand that attacks on Confederate memorial are attacks on symbols of white people.
Your attitude is exactly why these crazy nazi idiots are getting followers. You are looking for excuses to disengage from the fight, saying “oh, this doesn’t matter, let’s not fight about it.” It was 50 years of that that has lead us to the current crisis. At every step of the advance of political correctness, people like you were saying “don’t fight about this, this is not the hill to die on, we will fight next time.”
