Statues are only there to celebrate people, so they can get fucked. Statues don’t educate us, they just literally put someone on a pedestal.This all came up some time ago here re the slave trade and statues etc. If every building funded by slavery et al were to be pulled down we wouldn't be left with much historic structures. Unfortunately , a delay in discovery means there is little to be done. Doesn't mean we are condoning it.
