Why didn't we think of this before, Erasing and burying our dark and embarrassing history by knocking down these statues from 300/400 yrs ago of industrialists and traders who made their fortune in slavery and exploiting people , Should we really stop there, Why don't we dismantle the coliseum in Rome where they fed all those Christians to the lions for their entertainment and all those statues and monuments too while were at it,
And lets not forget those cruel and sadistic Pharaohs of Egypt using slaves to build those big stupid Pyramids when a couple of Irish navvies could have dug a 6 ft hole in the ground for less than half the cost, Yes lets smash those Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings to bits.
We can't bury our history and we shouldn't even try it's who we are, We have to learn from our mistakes of the past, We should be building more statues of people who have shown us the errors of our ways, People who deserved to be remembered for what they did.
Real icons like Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Mohammed Ali, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, The Great Nelson Mandela, To name just a few, Not George Floyd.
