Boston resident who supports taking this statue down. It is past time. It is offensive and demeaning.

This statue is symbolic of our racist history, and it perpetuates that harmful history by standing as a model for all to admire. We must recognize our literal wrongdoings and act accordingly by taking this statue down.

The time has to come to right a wrong by scrapping this incentive artistic depiction.

I now see what you mean (although in my 60 years I have not seen the statue) we need equality.

Having never been to Boston, I can't imagine having to see this. It's offensive on so many levels I don't know where to begin but a black man on his knees in front of a white man occurred countless times during slavery, but on his knees before the so-called 'great emancipator' is the continuation of racism in amerikkka and solidifies the belief that newly emancipated black men, women and children may be 'free', but will never be equal. It needs to go ASAP.

The fact that this is still up SHOWS how racist we are as a country. Take the baby steps and tear this atrocious thing down.
