Biden will establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till, the Black teen lynched in Mississippi - Lemmy.world

Weird… It’s so late it’s almost pointless. How about publicly break Roger stone and the American mafia.
Calling this “almost pointless” is just borderline racist. There is never a discussion on the utility of a statue when a white colonizer gets immortalized.
It’s always important that we focus on commemorating, and creating lasting examples of society’s faults. So that we never forget, for the sake of not repeating history. It’s truly monstrous what mankind is capable of doing to one another, especially if it’s somehow encouraged. But, there are more pressing matters. A portion of government employees should be tasked with preserving our historical mistakes. The President, as Chief of State, needs to focus on successfully leading us into a prosperous future. Directly combating that which immediately affects the masses, such as America’s pestilent crime endemic would benefit more people quicker. Today, millions in our own country suffer from homelessness, poverty, addictions, physical/mental/emotional/sexual/drug abuse, medical conditons (caused by a miriad of pollutants in air, Earth, water, and diet), crime, harassment, and so much more.
