-What do you mean?
Geez, I don't know why you can't see how history can not be reinterpreted by folks who were NOT there.
That is a really important mitigating fact, that IS historical context!
So, why are they wanting to destroy historical context then, their motivation for it?
Can I say for political points?
Or to promote an agenda?
Or, can I say Blacks lack the capacity to rise over the past, still tethered to that of which they didn't experience, as justification to, what, why?
It removes the real opportunity, the present, to address what is actually taking place, at the moment.
And yes, things still can always be better.
But having demonstrations, pulling down historical artifacts, will not do it.
Now, if a town wants to invest money , etc, into a new display, honoring the past of controversial issues, then that is the time to get involved and share real opposition in a way that can now have a positive effect in the future.
I ask, shall we remove Pearl Harbor?
Look at how it shows the the Japaneses Americans in a very poor manner, by race.
The folks who continue to utilize past scars on our nation, are simply pulling open the wounds, to fester again, so they can promote, themselves....
I believe this is a
fair statement........
You get it now?
