Because anything belonging to the City of Charlottesville belongs to the citizens of the city and as such everyone should be able to make a decision instead of allowing a few people decide for everyone.
As is pointed out regularly, we live in a Republic. The people have freely elected representatives to make such decisions.
There is a higher moral obligation though on this topic to hold hearings for public feedback.

Let em keep their goddam statues
But don’t you dare tell me you’re an American?
America stands for FREEDOM!
Not the preservation of oppression
And worst…
What kind of human being are you?
Not much of one
But the people and governments that actually OWN the statues are the ones REMOVING THEM.
Some folks want to dictate what other people do. It's sad.

I don't usually watch Youtube videos as they are usually a waste of time.
Are you "Yepping" to my question to you or to MotherMayEye?
Yes sir i am. Democrats are responsible for slavery, the confederacy, the KKK and the civil war.

All I’m trying to do is reach people's reason, heart and understanding....
For if we don’t reach into the goodness in peoples hearts, something now veiled by many things, we will never be outside of violence and separation…
You, my friend, are a rare voice of reason on this forum...Keep up the good work

I don't blame entire states. I blame the ideology.
I almost never agree with my *state* on anything.

LOL. Can you give us a few sentence to back up your claim?
For example ... slavery in the New World began in what ... 1619?
The Democratic Party was not founded until ... what ... 1828?

Another thing people need to be mindful of is 650-850,000 white guys killed themselves to 'free' the slaves.
But hey their sacrifices should be forgotten.

Of course I support local determination. However I also believe in a lively public debate process where the citizens have a chance to be heard before history is destroyed. Better to get feedback and then make a decision rather than rip it down only to find out the majority of the people didnt want it to go.
Measure twice, cut once.

Strawman. No one says that any American's death should be forgotten. Shame on you.
Says the guy that has repeatedly called myself a 'nazi sympathizer'.
Where's that shame high sparrow?
