Those statues have a place all together with other statues for a historic setting like a museum or a place like I live, Gettysburg, but just put up in random Southern towns is simply racist control. I believe they all need to be removed. That said, to those who spout "it's history" I like to say, "Ok, for every Lee, you need a Grant, and shouldn't Georgia have a swath of Sherman's?" They don't like that suggestion.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jun 3, 2020:

Many religions build much of their doctrine on forgiveness. Most if those are hypocrites who bring out forgiveness only when it suits them. Having worked in counseling, I recognize the difficulties in finding and then in expressing forgiveness. I am not sure I could do so in certain cases. I understand it can, sometimes, help the bereaved move on; but that remains a tough journey, and sometimes an impossible one. After the killing of some Amish girls in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, aside from the killer's widow, only the Amish showed up. It is one of their staunchest tenants. I later spoke with an uncle of one of the dead girls. He did not attend; he said he could not find it in his heart to forgive and did not want to respond like a robotic follower of his faith and be a hypocrite.

APOLOGY AND REPARATIONS AUSTRALIA 1.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jun 2, 2020:

I don't like yes and no polls as they leave so much more worth saying, and, especially, DOING. Better to use the funds to build a more fair and equitable society. More jobs and better jobs and better education, along with less incarceration of those for miner crimes, etc. The other aspect is simple. Who all should be given reparations? Should all people descended from slaves, and shouldn't a number of nations be held responsible as well? How about the Indigenous peoples throughout the world - Europe has a lot to pay up for along with the current rulers. Then, what about taking it farther back. Should my family (on my father's side) pay the Irish for invading during the 1169 Norman-Anglo invasion, or should I collect from the British after my family assimilated prior to leaving during thev19th century? Just some thoughts. I favor a HUGE infusion of money and opportunity into the lower classes and a HUGE redistribution of wealth.
