I’m a big believer in Intent. If something is said or done with no ill will intended, then criticizing it, getting rid of it, or destroying it should be reconsidered. Two things that come to mind are the left’s destruction of statues from the Civil War or anything that offends their delicate sensibilities. The statues of Southern generals that reminded the left of slavery were not erected out of malice. They are a part of American history, warts and all, and represent a time that should not be forgotten. The left’s insistence on their removal demonstrates small-mindedness and a desire to whitewash America’s past. That is, however, until the radicals want to push reparations, then they want everyone to remember it.
