P O L I T I C A L--C O R R E C T N E S S

Answer 1

Because the narrative has been changed to OBLM with the O being only.  There is a lot of resistance to anyone saying ALL lives matter.  Any offensive statue can be removed by proper channels and process.  Talk to the peole in town hall.  Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't.  But you always get what you want if you form a mob and destroy the statue and everything in the path to the statue.   Then as tourism drops and people don't come into towns with a lot of violence, the jobs fade, the economy goes to hell and everyone cries racist because people won't go to that town and spend money at the business that remain.   This artificial race war is fascinating to watch.  I don't mean that it's a good thing to watch   I mean it is memorizing to see just how stupid people can be and how easily intimidated they can be when someone shouts at them.

Julius Caesar wept when he saw a statue of Alexander the Great in Spain, do not harm that statute..

Answer 4

Since the invention of statues.  



Your misperception of the number of people "offended" or countering the offended aside, the sole purpose of any statue is to evoke some symbolism whether it be reverence for the person, the ideals that person stood for, or in some abstract instances as a direct symbol of some idea or ideal.



And regarding political correctness.  We should all strive to be correct, politically or otherwise.  Beats the alternative.

Answer 5

Statues are literally all about symbolism, without that no one would bother making them or keeping them around.
