Democrats want these various statues and monuments taken down, because they stand as an embarrassing reminder that the Democratic Party—in spite of all its efforts to falsely smear its opposition with this charge—is now, has always been, and will always be the party of overt racism and bigotry.
What is embarrassing is the Republicans embracing slavery
It was the Democrats who embraced slavery, and Republicans who opposed it. This is a proven historical fact. Just as it is the Democrats today, who exploit minorities for their own political gain, to the detriment of these minorities.
Indeed. It is a arguable position that the modern day welfare system is a modern analog to slavery. And dishonest toads like rightwinger here love slavery. So long as they are the ones holding the whip.
