It looks like even more statues are going to topple as part of the war against white privilege in the US:

Abraham Lincoln predicted something like this in his Lyceum Address:
"All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide."
Here we sit, allegedly armed to the teeth, and yet our nation shall fall without anyone firing a shot (except apparently in our public schools). We are destroying ourselves.
Or to frame the argument more accurately, those who control US public opinion are helping us to destroy ourselves. Cui bono? It sure as hell ain't you and me.
