I understand that too, but i dont think we should hide the mistakes that were done from the public and risk forgetting them. Make those statues to altars of how things have changed and to promise to not let those things repeat.
But i also dont think those statues should be protected from change. If there is plan to renovate some park and make it better, some old statue of slave owner should not prevent that. Move the thing somewhere else.
I just think those are part of the history and destroying or willingly hiding it from public does more harm in the long run.

you can keep some of them, but we don’t have to keep all of them.
You can have one Nazi memorabilia.
But once you have a room full of Nazi memorabilia, you just might be a fan of Hitler’s work. https://youtube.com/shorts/QDDbICw_7NY
