    I'm asking you. Are you saying you have no reason to want to get rid of it?

    After the 1936 Berlin Olympics, only the white athletes were invited to see and meet Roosevelt. No such invitation was made to the African American athletes such as Jesse Owens, who had won four gold medals. A widely believed myth about the 1936 games was that Hitler had snubbed Owens, something that never happened. Owens said that "Hitler didn't snub me—it was [Roosevelt] who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram". However, Hitler had left after Owens' first gold medal win and did not meet him. Subsequently, he did not meet with any of the gold medalists. Owens lamented his treatment by Roosevelt, saying that he "wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President".

    I dont understand why people get pissy about statuses. They're just a piece of rock. Do we really need them to feel good and reassured of whatever they represent?

    I don't care about statues. I understand they are inanimate objects, usually of dead people.

    But, they make some people feel uncomfortable, or something.

    They were traitors to the US and killed Americans to preserve slavery.

    Do you want to get rid of it? Why?

    America already has nearly no heritage or traditions as it is. I think that is a big reason why this society is so dysfunctional.
