Mansa Musa owned slaves, and might have been the wealthiest person to ever live. If there was a statue of Mansa Musa standing in every major city in the world, people most likely wouldn't try to remove it. The image/idea that black people are marginalized and in need of saving by other groups is a relatively new one if you look at all of history, it's mostly just the last couple hundred years people came up with this image/idea. The reality is the people protesting the statues weren't doing it in the interest of humanity or human rights, they were doing it to support the agendas of the people they were following, especially the college dorks.
The image/idea that life is unfair to black people only nowadays is a recent development. The reality is life has always been unfair to most of the people living on the planet at any given time in history, no matter their sex, shade of skin, sexual orientation, religion, political beliefs, or personal beliefs about anything. People who try to get people to unify usually have a similar agenda to the ones who got them to divide in the first place. The Confederate statue protests are no different, the same ones trying to get people to divide try to get them to unify again before they wake up. The same ones that tear everyone and everything apart are the ones telling people they should be together on something.
