And removing a statue is hardly 'genocide on a meme' or 'squashing free speech.' Open a book, go to a museum, watching a documentary, and stop being so sloppily hyperbolic.
What has changed about the world in the past few years that merits the removal of statues that may have stood for a hundred? Has the history become more immediate? Has the issue of slavery become more critical?
