Question is - and this is maybe an innocent/naive question
How much wealth/land/property is built up today from family wealth that was built upon or benefitted from the usage of slaves or had racist views attached to it?
Where does it stop?
You can't gloss over history, it was wrong - but if we viewed everything that happened in history with today's spectacles then the world would probably be a massively different place.
Nobody believes it was right - and I agree that the statue shouldn't be there, but how far does this go?
