One side hates it being there and the reason/s that led to it's erection.
The other side will have to endure it being constantly vandalised and criticised.
These statues will always be targeted because they are a lie.
Meantime, New York will leave no stone unturned looking for a "hate crime." I don't see anyone here defending the thing.
It's a lie because while the officials are telling you the statue is about racism, the message of the statue is really POLITICAL.
Maybe Floyd didn't deserve to die and maybe Chauvin shouldn't have stayed on his neck 8 minutes, but the nation is largely offended by not only the 5 months of riots, violence and destruction ravaged upon the nation unchecked last year, but the way the officials have bent over backwards kissing Black's asses.
Now we have Juneteenth, a fake black holiday.
This is less about "hate" and more about a lot of people just fed up sick and tired of seeing minority groups given a fanfare of undeserved special treatment by the Left. They don't mind EQUALITY, they mind seeing every freak and weirdo ELEVATED to "special status"
above the general population.
If you are white and attacked by 13 black people who kill you for nothing, good luck getting New York to send out the Hate Crime Squad looking to solve YOUR murder!
