It's not about the statues....
I've been following Rick Wilson on twitter. He does a periscope regularly; he's live and you can ask questions etc. Last night, he went on a rant about how much of a racist Trump is and he mentioned a man by the name of Stuart Spooner. He recommended all democrats read his twitter feed. Basically, Spooner is saying this: dems would be smart to focus MORE on the Nazi and KKK angle and less on the statues. Old time southerners don't want to hear about how they were wrong to erect the statues. We get more mileage by condemning the Nazi and KKK movement and focusing on why they are flourishing under Trump. I agree.

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.
