If you could place a sculpture of a slave trader in the Supreme Court building, would you ?

Would it be in addition to the sculpture already there or would you replace the prophet Muhammad?

    Stan, do you know what statues cost?  I  have better use for my money.  

    The statue of the Bristol, England slave trader was erected because he gave his money to benefit Bristol, not because he made his wealth from the bondage of other humans. It was toppled because he made his wealth from the bondage of other humans.  But does that make his philanthropy to Bristol worthless? 

    And did taking down that statue rub out Bristol's past history as the home of slave ship owners?  I don't care about the statue. I hope Bristol is enjoying being multicultural. But Bristol better know its past, bad and good, than blot it out.

    Dear, ask your psychiatrist. You appear to be in need of one.
