...I believe the statues, bluntly, heavily put up as symbols of " N_____, w
WE rule, and DON'T YOU FORGET IT!".
Don't some of the people who love them statues so have some private land they can.display their beloved stachie-watchies on and blubber over Their Heritage? Your description of people coming in to cry over their abscence probably no longer live in Baltimoe even if they did once?
Move 'em to the suburbs! Just like their fans did

Why do you want these statues anyway? Are you emotionally attached to them? Why?
This is not about whether or not someone is emotionally attached to them----or, at least, it's not ONLY about that----this is about people, who WANT them there, having that right.
Like I said, on another thread, one people's right shouldn't be taken-away, for another people to have THEIR right. I feel if someone doesn't like lookin' at them, they can choose to not go to those locations----that way EVERYBODY wins----the people who want them, get to have them, and the people who don't wanna see them, don't have to; besides, I doubt, very much, if most people even really had a TOTAL conscious of them, being there----or, if they DID remember seeing a statue, wherever, they didn't know who the statue was, until all this uproar (I've walked-by a million-and-one statues [not literal], and never looked-up, to see who they were, cuz I had other things on my mind).[/quote]
