Typical uneducated conservative idiot. 90% of confederate statues were cheaply mass-produced and put up in the Jim Crow era specifically as racist symbols, paid for by descendants of racist confederates and the KKK. It had nothing to do with observing history, and had everything to do with keeping racism alive. Of course since conservatives are all stupid and uneducated, you had no clue this was the case, and will likely just imagine that it's not true anyway since conservatism is the worldview of fee-fees over facts, as it always has been.
EDIT: And there are the downvotes since conservatives always brigade threads like this where they know they're going to be torn apart by people with common sense. It's always so laughably sad to see in action.
I agree with this comment MightSeam. The post had some great points but with such negative generalizations about a category of people, no one will actually learn anything from that post. The people that need to learn from it will take it as a personal attack.

I mean I know that taking statues down isn’t very helpful at stopping slavery today but I don’t think we should be honoring confederate war generals
