I could do both, but every hour I spent on removing statues that might offend someone would be an hour I took away from children who are going hungry. Why would I do that? Let children go hungry to deal with stone/marble/granite? Who in there right mind thinks like that?

Most people in their right minds realize there are 24 hours in a day, and that you can multitask. You could protest at your city hall while also having a food drive for those Hungry children , did that not cross your mind ?

Lets be honest here, you dont actually care, this is an "all lives matter" type rant and you know it

Volunteer with at-risk youth - you can tutor, mentor (I did this until my health got too bad), etc.

Donate to, and volunteer at, food pantries.

Volunteer at shelters for domestic abuse victims.

Volunteer daycare services for single working moms.

Etc., etc.........

These things will mean something positive to both you and the folks you help - right now!

Stop complaining about the Civil War and people who died before you were born. Help someone who is living and needs help now.

Some people manage to do Both.
