"Monuments to racism need to go but don't let those invested in systemic oppression convince you to be content with taking down statues.

"Removing a confederate statue or symbol of imperialism won't end systemic racism in government, in economic policy and in law enforcement."

Systemic oppression

I wonder if it would help to recognize that systemic oppression is its own sort of monument to racism. And whether we, as a culture, can develop enough resolve to dismantle those monuments of laws in the same manner as we have developed the resolve to topple the monuments of iron and stone.
