Maybe they should be taken down and replaced with statues based on this image:

Then we'd just have the same racists complaining about "that statue of the n***** kidnapping two white kids".

Man, that is so true, it's sickening.

If it pisses off the racists, then 1,000 of the statues should be erected.

A lot of Confederate statues have fallen already. And some of the schools named after Robert E. Lee have undergone name changes. It will take some time but most will be gone.

How emotionally fragile does someone have to be to get butt hurt over a statue? With everything going on in the world, people go after the items that are apt to hurt them the least.
The snap back from the overly PC culture is going to get pretty nasty.

Exactly. Neo Nazis and white nationalists need to focus on other things than getting offended at statues that show black men as heroes.

Oh yes those emotional people who don't like the fact the local government  is venerating people who wanted to mandatorize the treatment of there entire race as chattel . Such whiners . Dodgy

Right we should totally ignore this . And only focus on big issues . Because everyone knows a society can only focus on one thing at a time. Dodgy

Right this is all about PC culture Dodgy

And you call my accusations without substance Dodgy

And to hold a march were  men chant slogans like "blood and soil "(implying only certain ethnic group belong in a place) and " you will not replace us"(implying white genocide nonsense)
