Those statues do not serve that purpose. Instead, they embolden supremacist movements. They need to go.

You are right. There are some who do not want these statues removed and they aren't racist. However, it would seem they are a minority. Free speech, and majority rules. The majority of folks don't care or want them removed.
I'm okay with anything that fucks with racists. That's my narrative. Racists are idiotic, illogical cowards. They waste their lives with hate.

A museum would be an acceptable solution.

And if you DO think its ok to remove these cause a "Majority of people want them to go" what is next? Removing the constitution cause many liberals want us to go socialist? Destroying Mount Rushmore cause libtards can't stand it honors 4 of our great presidents? Shutting down civil war reenactment parks?
I personally do not want to waste money removing them. If somebody feels strongly enough raise the money privately and remove them. Let the KKK and the NCAAP bid on them!
Thing is, A # of those statues were PUT THERE by funds being raised by people who wanted them. SO WHY SHOULD the current elected turds get to remove them with NO public vote? OR Paying back those who collected the money to get them in the first place?
You dumb perverted fucker....they were removed after a City Council vote. While I do not agree with their logic, it is a local issue that folks in Baltimore should decide. Not you or me. Especially you.

There is the fatal flaw to your statement. It is not the town taking them down nor do they want to take them down. This outsiders are coming in and demanding that the town live up to their "high moral" standards from California, New York, and Illinois.
