Red Herring.

We can only start with our own countries first. We cannot go to slave-owning countries and bomb them. Plus the super rich presidents of the White Western World hesitate to sanction Saudi and Somalia and some of those places. Short of bombing, there are sanctions. I cannot sanction, only governments can.

I do not condone any kind of slavery by any country or people.

It is a red herring to be faux bothered by a man hundreds of years dead who has had no impact on your life in any negative way. It is virtue signalling. There are millions of people in the West who worship a slave owner and nobody says a thing. Surely we accept that it is just one of those things that happened a long time ago and that is the end of it.

Not sure what you are specifically referring to, Im talking about plenty of people justifiably do not want to walk past a statue of a racist scumbag everyday twice a day on their way to work and back or out shopping with their families. Tear the scumbag down. How would a Jew like to walk past a Hitler statue twice a day?
How would an Armenian like to walk past a Talat Pasha statue with his family twice a day? Show some empathy man. This is easy to understand. Tear the cunt down, I say! Its an insulting eye sore. Common sense, you dont put statues of rapists and racists up in peoples' faces. We're talking statues here, not wiping people out of history books which, by the way, still are white-centric pro-colonialist rags.

Tear the fucker down. I support it.

I don't give a fuck what anyone 'feels' about a statue. You accept history for what it is with its good and bad and if you don't like then there is due process. The mob does not run the show. I consider Mandela a terrorist, but he is up there in London. We accept the good and bad and if you want it taken down then petition it. I do not have the right to tear it down.

YOu dont give a fuck until it happens to YOU. Then you will give a fuck. Imagine how you would be incensed and outraged and how you would wildly and viciously tear down a statue of a person who hurt one of your loved ones. YOu certainly WOULD do it too. Don't kid yourself. Until it happens to YOU, you will not understand it.
