    How about we erect statues of Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan to remember their place in American history.

      Isn't that the same feeling people get when looking at those confederate statues?

      Or are the confederate statues more of a reminder that "this guy led my great grandfather into a meaningless battle where he got killed"?

      Or "this guy strongly supported slavery and he is in the town square wtf"?

      As an outsider I probably won't get it fully, but I can try.

        This is about half right. One has to recall how unrelentingly racist the US is to fill in the gaps.
