OK, non Confederate leaders statues coming down.

6. Times change

I won't be around to see it, but in, say, 100 years, I think we'll see the following:

-- George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and some of the other leaders of the Revolutionary War will no longer be seen as "heroes" and "founding fathers". They will be viewed largely the way Confederate leaders are viewed today, and their images will be removed from the public sphere. This won't be a problem with currency... in 100 years there will be no paper currency.

-- Washington, District of Columbia will be renamed. The name is problematic on both ends.

-- Many of our national monuments will evolve. Perhaps the Washington Monument won't come down, but will be repurposed, and no longer honor one (flawed) man

The country will be vastly different. White people will be a shrinking minority (perhaps 30-40% of the country), and their voices will be largely drowned out by the evolving majority.


Again, I wish I was, but I won't be around to see it (barring some sort of medical breakthrough )
