[QUOTE="Eight Foot Manchild, post: 75158250, member: 268751"] You can stop right there. You've already hit on the primary reason why Confederate monuments are being removed - the institution of slavery. Removing a statue of Grant is just being consistent, along those lines. It doesn't do anything to erase his other life's work. His deeds remains in the historical record. Statues aren't history. "It" has always been all of those things. "It" looks like an unfolding narrative to you, but in fact, this struggle has been going on for [B]much [/B]longer than just the last few years. "It" only feels new because it's part of mainstream discourse now. Nope. I already know what the big picture is. By "do some investigation", do you mean "read a bunch of trashy conspiracy theory websites until you come to the same conclusion I did"? No one knows who did it, or why. Including you. [/QUOTE]
