That Joyce is going a bit far ain't she? <br /><br />If, "So-called "preservationists" have advocated for the removal or even destruction of Confederate war memorials as products of an inherently racist culture," then here in the UK, and elsewhere possibly, we'd better start dismantling all our Roman sites and remains as the 'racist' Italians held us Britons in slavery. Do think it possible that we Brits have a case for compensation against the present day Italians? <br /><br />Indeed, what about the Poles? Do you think they have a case against the Russians? Or the Czechs? Hungarians? Or any other country repressed by Soviet Socialism? What about those individuals who supported this repression? War criminals or what? Should defectors to the Soviets in the Cold War be regarded as 'slavers'? <br /><br />What a tangled web some 'academics' weave. Can our common history really be left in their hands? No!
