    yeah, I’d like to think it’s a fringe thing, but the mayor has had to actually push back on this publicly.

    Him pushing back shows me there is no huge support I would guess.

    I have no idea what message do these people think it sends, everybody has to be perfect?

    I was wondering the same. It's dated two days before his term ends. The next administration can just cancel it.

    If it was that important, he could have it prioritized it sooner. ... He had four years to do so.

    Always looking at the most extremist twitter account for your strawmen huh.

    Confederate war generals are by popular consensus do not deserve statues. When some small wacko minority of people online were wanting to cancel people like Washington, everyone laughed. There isn't some sizable contingent of millennials that want to cancel every historicall figure without any context.

    This is you finding your outlet to feed your "both sides" copium.

    Hakeem is against having a statue of himself.
