@cirno i'm fine with not having statues of slave owners. i don't think there's any slippery slope here. why are you arguing for their preservation?
fine with no statues of jesus while we're at it
@cirno washington was the largest landowner in the colonies, and also a slaver who wore dentures made out of teeth ripped out of his slaves.

let's burn 'em
@cirno animals are not humans and do not have human rights. slaves were. the fact that you would make this comparison suggests that you are insane.
Are you evil? You purchase and consume meat. Those animals are tortured, bred against their will, injected with hormones, and slaughtered to support your habit. In a 100 years when animals are liberated you and I will be seen as monsters too.
If nobody bought meat anymore, they wouldn't make it. If nobody bought slaves back then, they wouldn't have kept bringing ships of them over. To say washington was evil for doing something that was accepted back then, albeit morally wrong, is to admit that you're evil too.
