We can't change the past. Fullstop. We can learn from it, however, so 'adult' thing to do is leave statues etc where they are as a reminder of past mistakes, & try to change the future for the better.

well done

The question is how far should we go in correcting the past? Is removing objects, which I have no objection, the only cure for the wrongs of the past? How should those whose lands, wealths & dignities were usurped be compensated? (2/2).

As a historian & human rights activist I find myself conflicted about this kind of “cleansing”. First of all, I am totally against hero worshipping of any kind. Free ctizens don’t need this infantile behaviour. My concern is how far should we go in cleansing the past? (1)

It faced a gun front terrorism for woman by man....

Yeah when I first found out about Gandhi's racism I was dissappointed but not that surprised. Appreciating his civil disobedience does not mean he should be celebrated this way. Take it down.

I had no idea- but still believe we learned a great deal on how civil disobedience can work and change things for the better from him

It’s their statue. It’s their choice.

We should respect their feelings also

Well.... why not?

Churchill & Mandela too, both said some quite appalling things if being judged on todays standards. But you can't judge what people say in the past by todays standards.

Birmingham University in row over 'racist' treatment of non-EU staffUniversity accused of pursuing discriminatory monitoring of international academics Sounds to me that your 'oppressed' minority have been involved in large scale cheating. Hence the need for extra validation of their attendance. Is it racist if they're required to carry it out to ensure staff adhere to their sponshorship requirements? Not racist it’s make sure they attend and not of working and disappearing which many do fact. If you got nothing to hide it okay. I have to book in for work and going home don’t worry me. Suck it up buttercup it don’t hurt you.

Student whose racist rant was caught on video says he's not a racistA white male student from Columbia University who went viral after being filmed delivering a 'white supremacist tirade' has claimed that he's not racist. Yep, you read that correctly. Julian von Abele, a sophomore student studying physics, was filmed shouting racially-charged remarks at other students on Sunday outside the university's Butler Library at about 4am. Let me guess the other excuse he came with 'I have a black friend how can I be racist' Lawyer says his client *directed* him to break the law. And he obeyed. Let it sink in. He should be asked about the Tooth Fairy
