Greg, you are throwing up a straw man with your Mengele comparison.

I rather think not. I'm not talking about a Mengele statue in Germany. Check with a few black folks & get back to me.

This time, their targets are Muslims.

I rather think it was black folks and Jews, from the chants in Charlottesville.

One way to change attitudes, as a start, is to do away with commemoration and celebration of a pernicious anti-historical "Lost Cause" myth and its trappings - particularly those trappings erected specifically to reinforce white supremacy and segregation and terrorize black folks. The symbols can't reverence squat if they're gone.

Then we can begin to replace the root myth with fact.

Time we got on with it- its more than a hundred years overdue.
