#Biden Says We Should Protect “Some” #Slave Owners Statues!
#Biden Says We Should 'Protect' Columbus, Washington and Jefferson Statues and that the government is obligated to protect statues and monuments "like the Jefferson Memorial," calling them a "remembrance” but for who?🤔

As if #remembrance is better than #reverence for those needing healing. He thinks by coming up with a simplistic filter to weigh evil, so as to protect some cherished few would suffice. They’ve been weighed in the balance and found wanting. And it’s easy for Biden to say that but what about the man who bears the stripe of oppression represented by these figures... does remembering makes it easier for him or her? And who came up with this reverence versus remembrance... and it’s easily said than done for those needing to heal from the scars of slavery and continuous oppression. Healing is not easy and to pay for ones crimes is not cheap either. As a country we may have to do HARD and CONSEQUENTIAL things to begin to move past our sins. But clearly Biden has other ideas.
