Why? it was a simple question. You are just trying to change course of the argument, insinuating I have some problem with the Mandela statue, I don't.
You don't pull down statues like the 'soap dodging anarchists' did in Bristol. if a statue is to be removed it gets done properly and through the correct channels.
As I said where do we stop... The Pyramids, The Coliseum, All built by slaves and costs 10's of thousands of lives? This is where these arguments fall down because these actions don't make sense.
Don't try and destroy history because future generations will never learn. The statue in Bristol should stay so people can learn about the past. if it's gone then people will never know. What happens next do we start burning books?
