I am arguing the idea that the people who use the arguments that have been used aren't at least acting racist.
To be clear, nobody is accusing CL the individual of being racist, but if she has a problem removing the hero worship context of those monuments, then unwittingly she is enabling the white nationalists she claims to rightfully dislike.
To me that is like unwittingly driving a car to a robbery, your passenger robs the convenience store, murders the clerk, but you don't point them out or lift a finger to call the police and say, "I had no idea" or "I didn't do it".. Of course the crime will get reported, but even if you didn't do it, robber is no hero regardless.
