Benjamin Toyama says "We take down the statues of the losers in the Civil War, the statues of the generals who tried to destroy America."  

Yes.  And by the same logic, Hawaii should take down the statues of the Hawaiian Kingdom losers like Lili'uokalani and Wilcox; and also Kamehameha III (soon-to-be erected at Thomas Square) -- statues now used as rallying places for diehard deadenders of the Kingdom seeking to rip the 50th star off the flag and bring back a government that died more than a century ago.

The statues of Confederate heroes are just like the statues of Hawaiian Kingdom heroes -- valuable commemorations of the history and culture of a bygone era, but nowadays misused by racists like KKK, white nationalists, and Hawaiian nationalists.
