The consistent theme to the tearing down of monuments is the demonization of white people and the injustices committed by whites against non-whites. When you compare the history of the wars white peoples have raged against each other (Napoleonic wars, WW1 & 2, US civil war, wars between UK states etc.) what happened to peoples of colour was less severe. The hurt feelings of the snowflakes does not change history, it only buries it under a layer of censorship. Are we to believe there was no capture, rape and enslavement between peoples of colour in their internecine battles? Because the white races had technological advantages in conquest does not make them any better or worse. We have Remembrance Day to remind us that humans are capable of great atrocity and to celebrate the great social experiment of western society where people from the world over live together in relative peace. The history of the human race has blood on its hands, not just on the hands of white folk.
