This country has the largest amount of crybabies globally.
Modern leftists.
Which other country is full of crybabies who have nothing better to do than go around and say that statue offends me and that statue offends me and that statue offends me.

Horse kaka, Moses had no desire to get minorities out of the cities and dilute their numbers out in the suburbs. The suburbs were for the white middle class that would soon emerge, Levitt has explicit rules preventing sales to the wrong kind of people as did others.
You'd think the woke left could ignore inanimate statues of long dead folks and focus on very real racism today, like that noose found in the black NASCAR driver's garage. Wait, what? Back to the statues!

Turn out to be another Smollet hoax. The door pull was a rope in place since before 2019.
Well there is a great deal of irony when it comes to Statues for Babylon Village. The most famous African American resident who lived there for a time and actually finished High School there would likely be Thelma (Butterfly) McQueen. She played "Prissy" in "Gone With The Wind" and was actually well educated and deplored playing the types or roles she was chosen for (see link).
There is a Patriot in the Cemetery who fought the British off, yet the Duke Of Argyll visited the Village in the 1900's and was an investor in the Argyll Hotel built by August Belmont. The lake was later named after the Duke (Patriot rolling over in grave).
The Hotel was considered the birthplace of the Cuban Giants, the first professional black baseball team. The following link contains info on the Duke/Hotel/Lake/Team...
Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo) lived on Melbury Road in the Village for a number of years.
Geraldo Rivera (Gerald Michael Riviera) graduated WEST Babylon High School so likely not a candidate for a Statue in the Village. Thank goodness for small miracles...

Turns out the demand for actual hate incidents far exceeds the supply. We’re just not racist enough for the woke lefties after all (in the case of Smollet, he had to import fake hate since there was not enough hate in the US).
A high percentage of noose-related ‘hate’ turns out to be...well...not so much:
The fact is most of those immigrants were slaves.They couldn’t hack it in their country anymore. They came here desperate and died for the wealthy that made there riches off real slave labor. It continues today. Life changes. I hear Northern Europe is still pretty homogeneous.
Oh, give me a break!!! "Fact"? If it's a fact, then please provide proof of this statement. My family came here as dirt-poor immigrants from three different countries and not a single one was a slave.

Duh, they "came here." They weren't "brought here." So your point is moot and your silly deflection not pertinent at all. Wow, you had dirt poor immigrant ancestors?! Join the club. But ours weren't bought and sold like cattle, were they? They were given bread and soup and eventually a job. One they actually got paid for and created upward mobility. Other's didn't.

You're the one who stated that most immigrants were slaves. Now you argue against your own statement. Lol.
