He may have been but quoting him to defend your own whitewashing of history is fricking moronic. 

What about the statues and monuments of antiquity that were built by slaves and stand as trophies to rulers and empires who committed unspeakable tragedies?

Let's tear down the pyramids, the Roman Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Great Wall of China and numerous others. I would also say the ancient city of Palmyra, but your statue-hating ideological cousins in ISIS already destroyed it because it offended the prophet.

There is a difference between the coliseum as a historical sight and a monument build in the 1950s to honor The President of the Confederacy.

There is no historical value to the statue itself.

And I’ve said multiple times I am Not for tearing down every statue. Just like I am Not for tearing down plantation homes.

It’s the difference between destroying the Mona Lisa and a print of the Mona Lisa.
