Do you give their views equal regard? At some point or another you're going to need to face the evidence and make an informed decision. All your hand-wringing "what-ifs" don't seem to be based in reality.
The reality is that there has long been a white supremacist movement here in America. That movement planned this rally precisely because the statue honored a man who fought to keep American blacks enslaved. The marchers waved swastika flags, threw the NaZi salute, and initiated murderous violence. These are the facts.
What perspective of theirs might you think justifies their behavior? Their overweening concern for statuary? Or their apathy about the status of black Americans even in this day and age?
Many NaZis deny the occurrence of the Holocaust, too. It doesn't mean their views merit consideration, much less defense.[Edit: Steel got there first].
