So now it's an expression of racism to honor one of the greatest heroes in our nation's history. Yeah, i get it: By spreading awareness of our history and remembering her sacrifice, we're spreading ignorance of our history and forgetting her sacrifice. And by removing Andrew Jackson from our currency, we're preserving the memory of a racist president. By taking down all those statues, we're glorifying the confederacy and endorsing slavery.

You're right, she does deserve better. She should just be forgotten.

You must really love your country, especially the victims of racism. Go girl.
