Arguing against removal of Confederate statues is not siding with neo-nazis. (Corollary: arguing for the removal doesn't make you a violent Antifa Communist.)

Arguing against removal of Confederate statues is not siding with neo-nazis. (Corollary: arguing for the removal doesn't make you a violent Antifa Communist.) Condoleeza Rice, an African American woman with political clout and experience, has argued we should keep the statues. Others have made a strong case for removing statues of people who committed treason. But whatever your view, this should be done legally and peacefully. No mobs tearing down statues, no pitchfork-wielding defense of statues. We live in a democracy. Exercise it.
