poop,,, okay bye

# data[].attributes.body
yeah but what about the ones mean in the 2000's or the mid 1900's???? keep em up or no?

# data[].attributes.body
agree

# data[].attributes.body
thats what im saying 6

# data[].attributes.body
i agree w 5 and that was a long time ago so just keep the soldiers up

# data[].attributes.body
yes

# data[].attributes.body
yeah 5 i understand, but if the confed statue is meant to honor someone that saved a life or something then it should stay up,,,, if it is directly discriminatory then take it down

# data[].attributes.body
most black people express their feelings about it

# data[].attributes.body
cause they will bring it up most likey

# data[].attributes.body
how do you know if its mean to black ppl

# data[].attributes.body
and 8, i mean plaque by explaining what the statue means

# data[].attributes.body
if a black man is offended by a statue honoring a confederate soldier, l feel bad, but we cant take it away from display just bc they feel offended

# data[].attributes.body
i agree w/ 6

# data[].attributes.body
i say we take people's feelings into consideration.., if it is discriminatory to black people it should be taken down

# data[].attributes.body
agreed w 5

# data[].attributes.body
yes some people deserve it but most are doning more harm than good

# data[].attributes.body
some people did more to just deserve a plaque

# data[].attributes.body
i know this is mean of me but feelings dont matter when it comes to the main purpose

# data[].attributes.body
the thing is people dont need any more statues of these people

# data[].attributes.body
oo you can change colors on the words

# data[].attributes.body
see the stuff on the board? putting plaques there seems reasonable

# data[].attributes.body
we need statues and places to honor the people who fought for us

# data[].attributes.body
yea

# data[].attributes.body
maybe put them in a museum?

# data[].attributes.body
keep soldiers staues take down mean ones

# data[].attributes.body
i say we should stop making statues and places of "honor" in the current era

# data[].attributes.body
the problem with taking every statue down is that it is history. they need to be displayed somewhere

# data[].attributes.body
yeah and the soldier ones

# data[].attributes.body
no 6 we need to keep the soldier ones

# data[].attributes.body
yes i agree with 5

# data[].attributes.body
the ones made long ago to honor confderates are the only ones that are reasonable

# data[].attributes.body
No

# data[].attributes.body
do you guys think we should take down statues that honor confederate generals and soldiers?

# data[].attributes.body
there are statues that were made to honor confederate soldiers, but others were made to poke at black people. i think we should take the ones that poke at blacck people down

# data[].attributes.body
what if they just re did them so its to honor soldiers

# data[].attributes.body
its the statues that are being made to remind blacks because there are so many statues now so like people get the point.

# data[].attributes.body
i didnt say that 5

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with 5

# data[].attributes.body
yeah 8, but they arent down, there are still alot that are up. I say we take down the ones that the kkk made and the ones that directly oppress black people

# data[].attributes.body
not all of the statues are made to make people mad 8

# data[].attributes.body
i do to

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with 5

# data[].attributes.body
if the statues are made to make african americans mad i think they would mostly be gone by now

# data[].attributes.body
government takes the statues down and they use tax money for it. this isn't a good thing to use tax money on

# data[].attributes.body
i think they are fine too, if they werent made to oppress/ directly hurt black people

# data[].attributes.body
why 8 explain

# data[].attributes.body
i think the staues are fine

# data[].attributes.body
i mean yeah but if we want them down we have to work for it, right?

# data[].attributes.body
See... back then its fine i guess because they were just honoring the generals and whatever, but so many statues are being made now so it seem that they are just making them for reminding african americans
.

# data[].attributes.body
thats the issue, what if people do interpret them wrong? Say the confederate cemetery was made to honor troops, i dont thinkw e should take it down

# data[].attributes.body
people RAISED money to build the statues but it will take OUR TAX MONEY to take em down

# data[].attributes.body
5 do you think the kkk were bad for the statues?

# data[].attributes.body
how would you feel if black people interprated it wrong and started to destroy them? what side would ypu be on

# data[].attributes.body
the kkk weren't the only ones that made these statues

# data[].attributes.body
ohhh you guuys mean the ones during when the kk made them,,, right?

# data[].attributes.body
In the scholastic article it says that the the white people were a dominant race, also so many people created and rasied money for statues.

# data[].attributes.body
the only thing that matter is their main purpose, if they were built to remind black people then take them down, but if they were built to remind people of the sacrifice of confederate soldiers then keep them up

# data[].attributes.body
i dunno 7,,,.,., i mean if they were built right after the civil war or even during when segregation was legal i say they are okay because people back then didnt think the way we do now,,,,,, plus they are a part of history /nbr

# data[].attributes.body
remind black peoole what? #7

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that people should remove the statues because people are creating them just to remind black people.

# data[].attributes.body
someone start

# data[].attributes.body
um i think they should be okay to keep up,,,,,,.,. as long as they werent built in a time where slavery was okay or stuff like that :l

# data[].attributes.body
