Yes, we should tear down Confederate monuments.

In Monday's New York Times column, Professor Gary Shapiro of Richmond University worried that the South will erase its ally's past. He focuses on Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia and has statues of Robert Lee, Jeff Stewart, Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis. Are we now a standard "monument" or "souvenir" or are you being misled by the street name? Do you need to change the name of the street itself when trying to fix the history of maintenance delays? "

I am based on a contextualistic position, based on history, not on heritage. "Heritage" quotes a metaphor of families and family lines. Not all current Richmons are interested in the tradition traditionally considered to be. On the other hand, these statues are undeniable signs of the history of Richmond - something that was done and encountered here. Just erasing will be a form of historical denial

Shapiro does not deny the Federation as being worthy of fear of slavery and praise, but his argument is deeply confused. If these monuments are "monuments", who will commemorate it? Of course it is not a victim of slavery

Even if Monument Avenue lost its statue, we have not really lost anything. In fact, their dismissal will mean the end of the alliance of Virginia. Regional incompatibility is important here. People in southern Caucasians are still reluctant to admit the scale of conspiracy against slavery of their ancestors. The inscriptions of these monuments are publicly mourning the victory of the allies against the Confederates, and white superiorists still see them as relic of the successful racist era. On Saturday, a white superiorist gathered at the Charlottesville Park in Virginia State and competed for the statue of infamous Robert Lee.

If we want to make our public plaza truly open-all Americans can communicate in peace and security - they will not be deprived of the celebration of the cause of the federal government There is no doubt. Historians can store monuments in the museum where they are properly contextualized and can be understood as a very unethical carrier career. However, for future generations, many southern monuments should not be preserved in all countries. How many of our descendants really needs to acquire terrorist incidents of alliance? Strip the statue, break up most of the statue, and go forward

An attempt to dismantle the Southern Alliance monument is a failed fight on the left. There is nothing as important as it will happen overnight or months. They should try to change the name of the school named after the Allied Forces first. Walking behind the statue is a violent step leading to controversy and conflict in this polarized political regime.

We have dismantled the statue of the New Orleans Union, but we will also dismantle the North monument. Domination of southern hatred and white supremacy is physical, but the northern monuments exist through distorted and diverse lies conveyed throughout history. It is taught that North is striving to end slavery and black liberation - neither is true. Most of these things I believe is due to the fact that history is always written by the winners and is usually disinfected for their benefit. All monuments built to commemorate the alliance (northern) are dangerous and hinder the progress of black people. This is not just about the South issue

Supporters of the Caucasian nationalist group believe that enthusiasm to destroy the monument can only build their rank. North Carolina attorney Kirk Lyons said, "These monuments are falling, they are tragic, but as anti-law overreacts, they will be part of the legacy of the Commonwealth." Obvious hatred is tied. A group (he denies that he is a white supremacist, and calls himself "a Christian lawyer in the south.") Antifa is an abbreviation for anti-fascist activists .

I will peel off the monument. Please remember that this meeting was particularly against the abolition of the Southern Commonwealth Monument. Mr. Jim Gray of Kentucky Governor announced that he refused the cancellation, against the proposal of Art Julie, canceling the city's Navy monument several months ago, following a violent incident. Memorial Please ask your elected official to disassemble all the southern monuments. Change the story. If we blindly accept human inhumanization of color and other surrounding identities, we can not effectively fight US racism. What we need to do is not only to demand prejudice when we look at it, but also to fundamentally political discourse in order to ensure that human beings left behind are never questioned It is necessary to change.
