Finally some judicial sanity on Civil War memorials.

We are simply too sensitive.
Do people really care whether confederate monuments are still in place?

When I look at the pyramids I think about all the slaves that died erecting them. I hope we dismantle the pyramids.
When I look at the Japanese flag, I remember Pearl Harbor. We should not import Japanese products.
I no longer take Amtrak thinking about the Asian slaves used to build them.
The list of things that remind me of horrible events is endless.

By all means, take the steps you recommend above.

Part of being public is risking exposure to things you disagree with lol.

Practically all of the civil war monuments have been in place for many decades but it’s only been recently that they’ve become a rallying point for SJW’s. I’m glad the South lost the civil war but I’m still able to perceive the monuments as a reminder of this country’s history—warts and all. Our history is part of who we are as a nation.

It’s not that hard to do. Why other people struggle with it is a mystery to me.

Many decades? You realize the Civil War was centuries ago? What took so long?

Nice try sport but treason does not apply according to this. "Whoever, owing allegiance to the*United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the*United States*or elsewhere, is guilty of*treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000;
The Confederacy withdrew from the Union and fought the Union as a separate nation. Therefore they had no allegiance to the Union.

Then let them erect racist monuments in their fictional nation.

Rather, protesting because the election was rigged and an incompetent insecure infantile wannabe dictator is in the White House. IOW, they're being patriotic, while the right is cheering the destruction of America.

Rigged? And you have evidence of this?

Please, by all means, present this evidence.

Cheering the destruction of America?

Yes, a thriving economy and the lowest
unemployment numbers in many years is
destroying America? Trying to stop illegal
immigration is destroying America?
 
When will the crazy liberals demand the name change of Washington and Lee University.

How can anyone relate Robert Lee with Washington?
Oh I forgot. Lee’s wife was the great granddaughter of Martha Washington and the president of the university.

It doesn’t matter, get rid of the name.

It seems to me there's a genuine problem. For most people the Confederacy was an illegal conspiracy to keep a lot of people working for nothing, on racist grounds; for many Southerners it was a courageous war of independence in which a great many non-slave-owners fought and died. Naturally, statues of its heroes give mortal offense to the descendants of those they enslaved, and others. Might I suggest that real (Nineteenth Century, say) historical monument be moved to museums and kept safe there? It seems to me that it's where they belong.

Since your opinion is irrelevant on this matter, it seems to me you should stay the fuck out of the discussion and where you belong.

The economy was thriving and unemployment was dropping before the election. Trump is, as is his habit, taking credit for things that he had nothing to do with. The GOP obstructed legitimate voters from registering in several states that were critical to the Electoral College vote .
voter obstruction
