How about we draw the line at 3 BS threads misrepresenting 2017 talk about the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial as current.

Does that mean every white person owns the opinions of David Duke or other people who are avowed white supremacists? If you don't agree with that, than every Black person or every progressive/liberal doesn't own the opinions of other people

Or you are just a hypocrite, of course

Don't assume everyone else is ignorant of the things you might be ignorant of.

Statues and monuments aren’t created to preserve history, they’re for making statements.
