For BLM? Sure. The statue removal isn't doing for blacks being killed by cops. They can take all the statues of civil war gots, couldn't care less. Don't pretend it's a step in the right direction as far as civil rights and BLM matter.
Looks like he is starting to sway but not wanting to totally give in just yet.

Are you in favor of the removal of confederate statues or not?
Sure. Whatever statue they put up as the replacement will be torn down eventually too
Disagree, those statues are there to intimidate black people and are signs to white people it's ok to do so.
But removing them doesn't change the feeling those people have. I don't disagree with you though.
The statues are GOVT PROPERTY reminding the blacks and whites of their roles
I said back then that losing shouldn't result a statue. Do you see a statue of Kevin Love or Kevin Garnett in Minnesota? Do the big 3 of OKC have a statue? No.
Territorial pissings. Clean them up.
I mean the statues aren’t even that old. Lee himself didn’t want any statues and they’re not really history. I mean my grandparents house is older than these statues. West side
The Confederate flag...
No more Dukes of Hazzard.
Eventually the American flag will be replaced too. Along with Washington monument
They're not wrong.
How have you excluded the possibility that :
having statues dedicated to people who actively participated in chattel trade and torture contributes to racists of all stripes feeling more justified in their overall beliefs that some humans are worth less than others because of melanin?
As someone with an ancestor who died fighting those traitorous s it galled me deeply to be stationed at a base named after one of the traitor generals.
And some of the worst/most notorious traitors out there. I mean George ing Pickett? If he wasn't known for losing half his men in the stupidest attack of the war he'd be known for executing southerners who joined the Union army. Just drop the fetish of naming things after people.
Slippery slope argument

Trump Hates Losers, So Why Is He Refighting the Civil War—on the Losing Side?
A Gallup Poll, released on Wednesday, found that Trump’s approval rating had plunged ten points in a single month.
President tumbling back to his “bedrock,” as Cook put it:
a political base of somewhere between thirty-five and forty per cent of Americans who seem
willing to back Trump no matter what.
If the President stays on this course, he will lose.he will stay the Trash course, and LOSE
“It isn’t over yet,” Fauci said, and, indeed, in twenty-one states, from Arizona to Oregon, cases are still rising.
On Wednesday, the Trump-appointed chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, warned that
high unemployment and economic fallout stemming from pandemic shutdowns would persist for years to come.
“This is the biggest economic shock, in the U.S. and the world, really, in living memory,”
From ordering in the military to bludgeoning the media, Trump has certainly been doing a pretty good impersonation of a hack dictator.
Trump, being Trump, has tried to tweet his way through the interlocking crises. It has not worked.
there was the President,
who chose to spend the week refighting the Civil War—
on the losing side.

Erasing history is when you lose a war and spend 100 years erecting statues and naming schools and military bases as though you won.
I merely identified that your dumb ass had a take.
Now you are all butthurt about me identifying a flaw in your own reasoning so you have to soothe your fee fees by lying about fallacies. Feel free to put what I said into the slippery slope format to prove you aren't lying.
Syllogism or bull . Your call.
Racism. That's why.
