The west has a christian-based morality system of good vs evil. You're either one of the other, there's no nuance. Maybe people aren't good or bad, only their deeds.
That argument is pretty shallow. Plus, it twists what Christian-based morality is and it assumes that everyone is following it. We, as a nation, certainly don’t have Christian values reflected in our laws.
The people wanting to pull down statues could say the exact same thing about those who don’t…. They only see J.A. Mac as “good” and don’t see the bad parts, like they do.
