What comments (do you have a link)? Are you saying he supports taking them down? What about monuments to former slaveholders like Washington and Jefferson, and the name of the capital of the country itself?

If you expect people of the past to meet the standards of today rather than those of the people around them, then it’s going to be hard to find anyone who stands up to scrutiny. Nearly everyone was racist, including Lincoln. Sexist too.

As a teenager, I opposed the system of Jim Crow when 90% of my fellow white Southerners supported it. I did so because I saw it was unjust, and because I favor the rights of people as human beings. I continued to support the civil rights movement until it was turned on its head, and became identity politics. Again there’s judgment of things in terms of race, just with the tables turned. I favor treating people as individuals. I also oppose this cultural purge.
