PS Excerpts and a link to the article I posted was a report about differing views concerning a statue of TR in front of The Museum of Natural History. The reporter covered opposing opinions about TR and how they reflect the contradictions and complications within our society. My posts in no way suggested 'whitewashing' our history, and there was no basis for you to imply that I have a blinkered vision of our country's history, of TR or that I recommended such on this thread.
Did I recommend removing the statue, Ken Taylor? I posted an article about it because it provided various views about the statue itself and TR. It was his grandson who thought it sensible to remove the statue. You have a determination to impute positions to me, for which there is no evidence. I suggest that you reflect on this about yourself. Unfortunately my effort to communicate with you has not been successful. Salud.

Understand that I too have issues with TR. But, removing a statue is not what I consider to be a productive way of dealing with those issues.
TR’s statue is not an equivalent to the “Confederate Monuments “ that were raised in the 50s and 60s.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.
I'm amused as well. If you must have the last word, Ken Taylor, be my guest!
