Would you tolerate such sweeping generalisations about, say, young black people, I wonder?

I have no idea about who funds BLM or their motives. I have even less interest.

I would love to see a society where skin colour had as much significance as shoe size when people interact, but I think that focusing on statues and the actions of people several centuries ago is not going to achieve that and will simply serve to trivialise the issue of prejudice and entrench views.
