'Personally, I'm more disturbed by the growing movement on the left that sees symbols of oppression in every public monument and racists under every bed.'
Agree! The PC police, using today attitudes/thinking to measure people/events in the past, is so insufferably condescending, calling people racist/bigot/anti-XXXX on a whim. This may be one of the reasons some Americans voted for Trump, out of spite (in their mind, of those condescending snobs) if you will, and still continue to support him no matter what. His base of about 35% voters can't be all racists/bigots (only a tiny % are), but they sure feel snubbed by the lefts who think they hold moral high ground and are more superior rather than listen to their legitimate concerns. These kind of attitudes on both sides sure don't make friends or build bridges. They will continue to talk past each other and the country division will deepen.
