just don't get what those statutes and flags symbolize to some people.

I've gotten myself in trouble where I live suggesting that the world's largest confederate memorial should be sandblasted and replaced by a memorial to people who were treated like dirt by the Klansmen that owned the mountain at the time the carving began and who held freuent rallies on the mountain even during my lifetime.
