Yeah, unnecessary for the city name but I like the fact people have to do a double take and find out more real history.

I want to know how you make a distinction between statues and city names.

I want to know how you make a distinction between statues and city names.It's much easier to put a statue in a contextual museum display.

And what is so important about keeping the context of Austin in the forefront?

And it's not great for people that know the whole story about the Civil War? Sorry, but you're taking two different stances on the same issue. :lmao

They can learn all about Austin in a museum, too.

You really want to have it both ways, don't you?

lol

Why do you want to do that?

The history of Austin can or cannot be adequately represented in a Museum.

True or false?

True or false?The person? Sure.

I'm all for moving both of his statues into museums.

Why not?

Great idea, derp!

So, the full context can be preserved in a museum; but you say a city should have a "racist" name but not "racist" statues.

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao Today's selectively "racist" chump.

Yea, it's "practical" to not want a name change until you've received your marching orders.
