Protesters are at best ignorant or at worse, neo-Marxists that switched from class warfare to race warfare and want to tear down the US.

Roosevelt, Jesus, Mary, police memorials, Union memorials, Frederick Douglas, Hiawatha, Texas Ranger, Kit Carson, Lewis & Clark, Pioneer, Francis Drake, Louis XVI, etc.
