Taking down monuments and changing names because the person so honored owned slaves will not change U.S. history. The people who owned slaves whose names and statues are now not PC were acting within the norms of their own times. It is ridiculous to judge them by today’s behavioral norms. Only idiots and libtard-fogged fools would suddenly “be outraged” at statues which had sat there for a hundred years. They are a part of our history, which cannot be changed. It happened. Revising history is always dangerous; George Santayana famously said, “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
Leftist progressives are determined to change that quotation words to “Those who CANNOT REMEMBER...” by effectively eliminating the past. If you erase the past, destroy all records of its actual existence from the people’s memories, make sure that no one passes it on, then they literally will not remember when they were free.
