Should the victors focus on collegiality with their fellow citizens instead? If they're grownups, they probably will.

It seems you define collegiality in a one-sided fashion. It's okay to have Confederate statues erected in Richmond, but not one of Lincoln. Seeing as how Lincoln was a President of the United States, and Richmond is located in the United States, and the statue is commemorating an event that happened in the United States, I fail to see the problem.

So, you think we should put a nice, big statue of John Calhoun on Malcolm X Boulevard and 125th Street?

He was American. And Harlem is in America. Who cares if it's divisive and a waste of teaxpayer money?

I say put in there just to piss people off.

Fine. You like it, you take it. No problem.
