I mean, maybe your history and your statues are being destroyed.

Mine sure aren't. https://twitter.com/BeatRicknFrank/status/1278707282373730305

The thing about studying history is, you lose those fuzzy notions pretty quickly you pick up from the culture at large pretty quickly.

And when you realize that Georgia is represented in Statuary Hall in Congress not by Martin Luther King Jr., but by the viciously racist vice president of the confederacy, you start to understand that American history as broadly understood isn't "Our" history. Just some folks'

Frederick Douglass isn't represented in Statuary Hall, either.

Edward Douglass White, confederate soldier, traitor, and all-around loser, who sided with the majority in Plessy v. Ferguson is, though.

American History has never belonged to all of us. That's just a fact.

and then I think about where I grew up, in Hollywood, FL, a town founded 60 years after the Civil War, with streets named after Robert E. Lee, John Bell Hood, and Nathaniel Bedford Forrest that weren't changed until 2 years ago.

That's not certainly not "our history."
