You're wrong, here's why. I have heard interviews with blacks who go by the statues, and are vividly reminded of slavery hurting their family for generations, and Jim Crow laws (laws discriminsting agsinst blacks long after the Civil War), and lynchings & killings by the kkk & other racists inspired by the statues. This is very real for some people, so it's just as if youbsaw a statue of Hitler (and your faamily was killed or in camps during the Holocaust), or Saddam Hussein (taking that statue down was important)  or Milosevisc, or Stalin. It absolutely does hurt real people, no matter what Hannity or Alex Jones says.
