>>Putting Nazi's on the same moral plane here as those protesting them is not right. The fact that racism is so embedded into into our society that you are unable to grasp the significance of having monuments to traitors and slave owning racists or forcing black children to go to a school named after one of these dirtbags is disturbing.
Trump pointed out that both Washington and Jefferson were slave owners. By your logic, any monument or reference to those traitors and slave owning racists should be erased, including currency presumably, while forcing black children to go to a school associated with those vicious racist founding fathers, or even being expected to learn about them, is disturbing.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
