Pelosi, Biden say there is a difference between removing Confederate leaders, past presidents

The question we have to ask is if they built their careers and legacy around violence against this nation or its modern inhabitants. We shouldn't be celebrating those people.


For example, Woodrow Wilson was a racist but that wasn't what his legacy was. His legacy was beginning the creation of the global financial system, the notion of world peace being something that should be actively pursued, and that the government should be restructured to be more relevant and responsive to change.

They actually picked a really good triangulation point here.

Going to Charlotte to get my stuff this weekend, I was reminded that the army training base north of Columbia is named Fort Jackson and that a major parkway in Columbia, SC is named Strom Thurmond parkway. I definitely think Strom Thurmond's name should be taken off of things but I am unsure about Jackson's but am swinging towards thinking it should be renamed. On one hand Jackson destroyed whole nations people and disobeyed the Court in doing so. On the other, he was a war hero who also was a major proponent of popular sovereignty/Democracy and who also violently demanded national unity.
