I'm a Boston native and I don't want to see this statue in the city anymore. We can do better than this.

On behalf of white people, this statue is embarrassing and unreasonable. I’m glad I saw this video because I didn’t even know it existed.

Got to go! Just another offensive example of white privilege.

Abraham Lincoln was a racist who did not believe that Black people were fully human and massacred indigenous people, succeeded by Andrew Jackson. I would love to see a statue that reflected empowerment appropriate to the locals who must suffer this sight every day.

How dehumanizing. Get it together, Boston. You want to prove you aren’t as racist as people keep saying you are? Start here.

This is a horrible statue. It should have come down years ago.

I agree that the former enslaved man should be upright and equal not being white saviored. Agreed - put the old one in a museum.

Please remove this statue. It is not erasing history. This statue can go in a museum to represent the subtle racism of the past, but it should not be proudly displayed.
