Confederate monuments are ok, but lynching memorial monuments are going too far

[Sociopathicsteelerfan]

I've always said, on this board and the previous, that the Confederacy represents traitors to this country. That said, I do not have an issue with historical monuments to its soldiers in places of historical significance in the same way that I don't think a monument to German soldiers in WW2 (note German soldiers, not a Nazi monument) is inappropriate. In the same vein I don't have any issue with a monument to victims of lynching. Preserving history should be the cause of both.
