hi everyone

# data[].attributes.body
I'm mia :D

# data[].attributes.body
Im brodie

# data[].attributes.body
Hello, I am Ismael.

# data[].attributes.body
I AMMMMM PARKERRRRR, also i agree 1

# data[].attributes.body
do u guys want to say who u were

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not saying that they should tear down like a school or something. I saying that keeping reminders of oppression, death, and suffering can be detrimental to somebodies, like a person of color, health.

# data[].attributes.body
like make statues for the solders of war who did great things but just dont destroy history buildings

# data[].attributes.body
The buildings are fine but not the statues

# data[].attributes.body
Ya same here

# data[].attributes.body
Thats what i was thinking 3

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like that may not make sense

# data[].attributes.body
1 and 3, i agree with what you guys are saying but i just think dont make statues of people like that but just dont destroy all buildings of people like that

# data[].attributes.body
yes, but there are better ways to learn about the time. like with books or art of the time.

# data[].attributes.body
Exactly 3 thats what i was trying to say earlier

# data[].attributes.body
just dont make a giant statue of a person who killed 100 black men because of their skin color

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with 1

# data[].attributes.body
number 1, i see what your getting at with what your saying but its still good to have monuments and buildings to show people what went down back then.

# data[].attributes.body
I do get also that some of these monuments were made for political reasons, but not with good intent.

# data[].attributes.body
I can see what you mean, 3, but like Mrs. Clay said, these things look like reminders to people who have had a history dealing with these struggles

# data[].attributes.body
But, think like for example, if someone made a statue/ monument for a person who wanted kill people of a different race from them. Would you want to them to be acknowledged in a way like that?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with 3.

# data[].attributes.body
But back to the fact, I feel like breaking down confed. buildings would be harsh and bad just because they are very important to history

# data[].attributes.body
Ya it does

# data[].attributes.body
If that makes sense

# data[].attributes.body
Same here number 4

# data[].attributes.body
Oh thanks for the clarification 2. I understand what all of you mean but I just thought it looked odd

# data[].attributes.body
number 1*

# data[].attributes.body
ya i kinda get what your saying but can you clarify

# data[].attributes.body
Though, I feel as if maybe the makers of the statues have built them with a different perspective in mind, rather than trying to learn mistakes of the past.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't understand, 1

# data[].attributes.body
not all statues mean that, some just mean that that person is a very important general

# data[].attributes.body
#4 would you want to honor someone who wanted the suffering of people just a little bit different from them?

# data[].attributes.body
4, I think the statues dont mean that but i can see how you can interpret that

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with you 3 I just meant the statues

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, 3

# data[].attributes.body
But still like just keeping everything up like buildings and churches would create a better learning environment for kids instead of just looking at a painting when trying to learn about the world war

# data[].attributes.body
I understand what you mean 1 but the statues look like you are giving praise or honoring the person.

# data[].attributes.body
#3 I get what you mean, but keep the statues up remind people of the oppression and suffering people, some even being relatives of these people.

# data[].attributes.body
I meant like paintings or something they had

# data[].attributes.body
I would think so

# data[].attributes.body
Besides, wouldn't statues be the same thing as artifacts, 4?

# data[].attributes.body
I definitely think we should just keep them the same

# data[].attributes.body
Thats true 4 and i like how you are thinking but like these memorials are very important and we need to keep them the same to let kids and adults learn what happened back then correctly

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe

# data[].attributes.body
Keep artifacts or something like that in museums

# data[].attributes.body
How what?

# data[].attributes.body
How?

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree with #2 and #4; we need these for historical purposes, but like #4 said, there are better ways to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with 2 but i think there are other ways to show that.

# data[].attributes.body
Well 4, how else are we going to learn from our mistakes?

# data[].attributes.body
But then again like they do remind people of the horrible things that happened

# data[].attributes.body
I also think that confederate monuments and schools should be re-named or taken down because it looks like it appreciates the people in the Confederate army. While we still need to remember history, statues and schools are not the correct ways to do that.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you 3

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with 2 like we need those for important memorials

# data[].attributes.body
you need to put your number on on the posts!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
It's pretty complicated. We need those statues to remind us of our history, to learn from our mistakes in the past, yet they still represent all the awful things done in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
That seems a bit crazy to want that

# data[].attributes.body
I really don't think it glorifies oppression

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that confederate monuments, schools, etc. should be taken down/ renamed because I feel like it glorifies oppression and almost sympathizes with malevolent people/ groups.
