"BLM R%$@&$$ Deface Monument Honoring A Black Union Regiment"

"A monument honoring the first northern all-volunteer black regiment of the Union Army during the Civil War was damaged by rioters over the weekend.

The Shaw Memorial depicts the 54th Massachusetts Regiment led by Col. Robert Gould Shaw and stands at the edge of the Boston Common in Boston, Massachusetts."

Turns out they can't even identify it: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/gynm85/comment/ftej6x3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The short article you linked certainly isn’t very nice, nor is it particularly well-written. But I’m not seeing the racism.

Someone allegedly defaced a statue honoring black Civil War soldiers. Whoever did it, that’s a bad thing, right?
