Like Renzetti, you "make some excellent points," Work Farce.
Like Renzetti, some of what you write is, at the very least arguable.

"There's history as told by the elitist few who made history through war, colonization, racism ..."  I'll buy that.  But gosh, just 50 years ago, I was taught that "colonization" was a GOOD thing. I remember THAT lesson well. Without colonization: no Canada. No USA. And I mean it literally. Colonies everywhere: to the south, the famous (and infamous) 13, New Caledonia to the far west of where this newspaper is published. Repeat after me: "...this was a good thing."

"Statues are a matter of what parts of history we honour ..." Name me one. Statues honour people--not history--for a variety of reasons.

However: "We live by lies, myths, and half truths; we honour those who betray us and scapegoat those who tell the truth."  Best line in your comment. I'll give you a "like" on that one, and submit that one of the "new" myths is colonization was bad.
