All statues should be removed, and in particular the symbols of slavery; how do they claim about freedom and they keep the statues of slavery!?
You ( and all the religious, generally ) have a god that tells you what to do ( or there might be consequences!)...and you point at other's conceptions of slavery?
Most African slaves came from countries that were practising slavery long before evil Whitey came along and enslaved them. And even when evil Whitey countries like Britain (the first country in the world, white or black, to permanently abolish it) abolished slavery, these African nations were still practising it.
Yup, some boats showed up with some boxes of cheap crap they couldn't sell at home and said,
"What have you got to trade?"
So the sailors passed by the fried ants, clay pots and the fish gut sauce spreaders and moved onto more useful items...
Of course the the ones not lucky enough to have slaves to sell may have got eaten...
Just ask Columbus...say...they gonna trash his city or what?

A ship going to Africa to buy slaves carried a large cargo of mixed goods, such as cotton, brass pans and guns. These were exchanged for enslaved Africans, who were shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to north and south America and the Caribbean.
The trade goods used for buying enslaved Africans were often produced and sold locally around Bristol. Pictured here is an entry in the catalogue of stock in a Bristol shop selling cutlery and hardware, it reads ‘Articles suitable to the African Trade’.

"America’s Other Original Sin
Europeans didn’t just displace Native Americans—they enslaved them, and encouraged tribes to participate in the slave trade, on a scale historians are only beginning to fathom."
Native American slavery: Historians uncover a chilling chapter in U.S. history.
"Pre-contact forms of slavery were generally distinct from the form of chattel slavery developed by Europeans in North America during the colonial period.[1] European influence greatly changed slavery used by Native Americans. As they raided other tribes to capture slaves for sales to Europeans, they fell into destructive wars among themselves, and against Europeans."

"1842 Slave Revolt in the Cherokee Nation
The 1842 Slave Revolt in the Cherokee Nation, then located in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) west of the Mississippi River, was the largest escape of a group of slaves to occur among the Cherokee.
The slave revolt started on November 15, 1842, when a group of 20 African-American slaves owned by the Cherokee escaped and tried to reach Mexico, where slavery had been abolished in 1836. Along their way south, they were joined by 15 slaves escaping from the Creek in Indian Territory."
