Warner Bros explain why we should not remove historical statues.
The following is a message which appears before some Warner Bros cartoons from decades gone by. The message is particularly relevant right now given the alt-left's attempts to remove historical statues and monuments.
Warner Bros: "The cartoons you are about to see are products of their time. They may depict some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that were commonplace in American society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. While the following does not represent the Warner Bros view of today's society, these cartoons are being presented as they were originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed."
To be fair, the comparison between the Warner Bros message and the alt-left's efforts to remove historical statues isn't a perfect analogy, because the brainwashed alt-left are attacking1 statues2 across the board, not just those with links to the Democrat party's racist past.
As Warner Bros point out, however, in decades gone by racial prejudices existed. We should not try to pretend otherwise. We should not hide those prejudices and erase them from history.
Similarly, prejudices exist today. For example, the idea pushed by CNN, MSNBC and others, that only minorities break immigration law is incredibly racist. It is also totally false. In decades to come, we should not hide the racist preconceptions of the racist alt-left media of today.
To quote Diamond and Silk, "Why are the Democrats trying to erase their history? They gave us slavery, the KKK and the Jim Crow Days. We shall never ever forget!"
We should never forget. We should never try to erase history. We must fight to ensure George Orwell's 1984 does not become the reality the alt-left would like it to be.
President Trump summed it up perfectly:
"Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. You can't change history, but you can learn from it. Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson - who's next, Washington, Jefferson? So foolish! Also, the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!"
