PC Gone Too Far

Did you mean to distinguish that statement a little Ringo ? I perceive death as an inevitable and natural process that often brings a welcome end to a life of increasing pain and suffering due to old age and disease. I'm not exactly looking forward to death, but I don't hope it will never happen.On the other hand, slavery is not inevitable, is far from natural, and I fervently hope never to suffer from it (as well as hoping that we can eradicate its existence).

Yes, it's an end to the good things, but an end to the bad things too. I've seen relatives suffer through dreadful pain and heartache before they passed away, and death isn't an unwelcome end to that.And it's not an end we're around to regret either.It's natural, a part of human existence and is universal. These are features I don't see when I consider slavery.

Ok, touched a nerve there, which was not my intention. My apologies.I'm not invested enough in the issue to get anyone het up over this, so I'll not come back on it.

Perhaps the middle ground might be to allow monuments to the Confederacy to stay, provided there is erected next to them, equally prominently, a monument to the lynched/enslaved/murdered slaves/people of colour who suffered as a result of the Confederacy. In other words "ok, remember it, but remember it all."(I am at work at the moment, and haven't time to read the full thread, so apologies if this has been raised and covered before).

Nope. Just entitled to express a thought - particularly when prefaced with the words "Perhaps the middle ground might be".
