#4Wouldn’t it be more effective to identify achievements by non-whites as opposed to eradicating achievements by whites. The former elevates everyone while the latter diminishes everyone. At some point, the world has to recognize that non-whites don’t need paternalistic care.

#6Understand that the revolution absolutely will not stop. It doesn't matter if you think there is a double standard. It doesn't matter if you supported everything they did up until now. It doesn't matter how loudly you complain.
They hate you, and they won't stop until every strand of your heritage is destroyed.

#7Good luck. In Austria we have hundreds of streets named after Nazi collaborators, but there's a huge resistance to changing the names. Same when someone wants to remove a statue placed by Nazis.
When commemorative plaques are placed for victims of Nazi violence, they are defaced or destroyed.
There are a lot of people who just don't want to hear that our ancestors weren't all that noble.
