[QUOTE="VanC, post: 317021, member: 3355"] I was in no way advocating that the statues of Lee and Davis be removed. If it were up to me, they would stay where they are, as would any Confederate flag, including those flown over state capitols. Southern whites have as much right to be proud of their heritage as anyone else, as far as I'm concerned. We've had a similar situation up here for years with Chief Illiniwek, the symbol of the U. of Illinois. Some consider it offensive, others consider it honorable. Who's right? Probably everyone in some manner. Personally, I don't have a strong opinion either way, but I'm getting tired of a few people who claim to be "offended" being allowed to set public policy for everyone else. [/QUOTE]
