THOSE WHO FORGET THE PAST...


There's a group called "TakeEmDownEverywhere"
who's goal is to remove every and all symbols of White Supremacy from sight.
Confederate Monuments, School Names, Bridges, Streets, and Parks are all fair game if they deem them to have any sort of White Supremacy Symbols.  And they'd like to take it world wide.
Here's my thoughts:
Should one group of people really get to decide for the rest of the world what is or is not Offensive?
 Should one group of people have the right to dictate what, or how much History the world is allowed to know about?
Martan Luther King wasn't an advocate of Gay Rights. Let's say another group of people comes along and finds his Statue Offensive, and they want it removed.
Should that Statue be taken down?, and if not then why not?  Is this groups feelings and opinions not as important as any other groups feelings and opinions?  And where does it end?
Thomas Jefferson owned slaves.  Is that Monument next? George Washington owned slaves.  Does that make the Washington Monument fair game to?
Well Hell let's just rip everything down. 
Burn all the history books!
 screw the past and anything that happend and just start all over again!
 I mean what could go wrong?
  Right?
