Most of them are still around, but the more controversial ones (mostly general statues in cities with high black populations) have been moved.

the ones in dallas have been taken down i think, or are still planned too. And lee park has been renamed Liberty Park. so, yeah. pretty much the conversation is over. it ended when nazi's ran over that young woman. the ones in dallas were removed very quickly after that, actually. I think a lot of cities wanted to avoid protests so they took quite a lot of big ones down immediately, like the statue of Robert E. Lee that dallas just warehoused.

I'm quite surprised no one's bought a patch of land and started a private confederate statue park yet. They can raise enough money to keep Stormfront and the Daily Stormer, etc, online but not enough to buy a vacant lot in Detroit and throw up some Robert E Lee statues? How much does land in Detroit even cost? I think they're pretty much giving it away at this point.

I think we should get rid of mosques after Sayfullo Saipov ran over those people in New York.
