I think it's unavoidable as diversity naturally increases.  

I realized this when I was young watching The Dukes of Hazzard and wondering why there was so much glorification of the Confederacy and almost none of the North, when the North were the good guys!   

It's inevitable and we will see it increase as white supremacist become more vocal and volatile, which only brings more attention to these monuments.

There is also no doubt that, not only the Trump presidency, but many Republicans in general give embolden these groups.  But Trump's open embracement of the alt-right movement has been a clear signal to them.  Many of them believe it's now or never.

I'm a white male but I have many minority friends and I know their views on this... they see them as racist and displays to remind them of white supremacy.  They obviously feel something different when they see these memorials than many of you do.  Why can't we respect them?
