They only are against certain people having statues though, you think Washington didn't own slaves? Jefferson owned slaves? Most of the early presidents owned slaves or were outright white supremacists and that is going down to the most recent openly white supremacist pre-Trump being Lyndon B Johnson.These statue protests have everything to do with black people though
THey are defending statues dedicated to people who owned black people as property illegally.
Now if these people were really working with respect to black americans, why are they only stopping at confederate generals and politicians, and not saying woodrow wilson, FDR, LBJ, Washington, Andrew Jackson, Jefferson, and more needing to be removed nationally as well.
Its easy, they don't care about mistreatment of blacks under the flag of the US, because that would make them look at the true depths of white supremacy in the past and today. They are simply virtue signaling by taking on low hanging fruit to appear as if they really care, and that they are own our side, so then they can do their worst.
