Very very for the idea of a museum of messed up stuff white people have tried to say about history. It'd be a good way to teach people how much a narritive can be scewed. Take it down cause this statue is just... Not honoring anyone...it's just a sad disgrace.

City of Boston needs to dismantle this statue if they truly see black lives as equals! Not naked savages begging on their knees to a white “savior”.

I support this and the creation of the Crazy Thing White People Used to Believe In museum.

We all know that Boston is one of the most racist cities in the country, and keeping this up sure as hell isn't helping us get better. Tear it down.

A gross, blatant monument to the white savior complex. It’s an embarrassment. Statues like this wear a mask of social justice while upholding white supremacy. If the city of Boston wants to do more than just pay lip service to progressive ideals, and truly commit to dismantling the city’s legacy of racism, violence, and segregation, they must tear this statue down.

That statue is degrading, offensive, and a disgrace. Shame on you Boston's Mayor Walsh for allowing it to stand!

If he's free, why is he on his knees? White savior? Make history and remove it.

Boston is supposed to be progressive. Do what needs to be done
