Statue protests never had anything to do with George Floyd's death. The one thing thing Confederate statues to George Floyd's death is strings of misinformation about what the Confederacy was and why there was a Civil War in America. America is not the only country that has ever had a civil war, and the reason is usually who gets what, not some idealistic and lofty cause like abolition or human rights (as good as it sounds).
Statue protests have as much to do with George Floyd's death as penguins have to do with the North pole.

Get the Spanish Protestmug. Protesting a Confederate statue is not the same thing as protesting the death of a man in 2020. The death of George Floyd happened in Minnesota, a northern state, and was unrelated to the Civil War. The average soldier in the civil war wasnt fighting to defend slavery, since they weren't wealthy enough to own slaves. These were poor and middle class soldiers who were mostly concerned about their own families way of life, and not soldiers who thought that slavery or the way of life of a wealthy slaveowner was right. The civil war wasnt really about slavery in the first place, slavery just became Lincoln's public relations campaign cause to gain popular support so he could get control of the southern states back. Lincoln didnt really care about whether people were enslaved or not, yet black people treat him as a hero, and treat anything that even symbolizes the confederacy as the enemy because of what it represents, and not because any of these privates or enlisted confederate soldiers actually did any wrong to their people. It was the wealthy slaveowners and the slave traders who displaced them, tortured them, killed them, and sometimes the KKK, and with many unknown identities in the KKK, theres not much way to know whether many of the KKK had had any ties to the confederate army.
Statue protests are about as far off the subject of george floyd's death as you can get, but a lot of people want to think of anything and everything they hate at one time, instead of focusing on what they're really protesting for in the first place. People who think what was done to george floyd was wrong dont have to agree that anything else a protestor thinks must also be true because they're still angry about george floyd and lockdown all at once. A confederate statue outside of a courthouse is not the same thing as putting up a confederate statue in a black neighborhood, it wasnt put there for the reason some black people are saying it was put there, to stir them up. Theres a reason a statue of MLK is across the street from a confederate statue, if you want one removed, you might as well want them both removed, and say they all upset people too much to be remembered or heard about.

Get the hyper-protestmug. A gathering of people ostensibly against a cause or political event who engage in rioting, arson, vandalism, looting, false imprisonment, battery, deadly force, and every other mala in se crime imaginable.

Get the protestmug. Weren't you the one talking about BLM protests being "mostly peaceful" and bailing people out of jail? 6 billion in property damage because "ThEy HaVe InSuRaNcE!"
Hym "I mean, they look like mostly peace protest to me! What's the difference? Could it be... Who's being protested? No... It couldn't be... Is it because the people being protested are the Jews!? Nonono, wait... The mostly peaceful protests guy... Who defended the BLM protests... Is condemning the OBJECTIVELY AND RELATIVELY LESS VIOLENT CAMPUS PROTESTS!? How the actual fuck is this happening right now? Are we in the twilight zone- Oh wait! It's Hell... HA! I forgot where I was for a second! It's the memory shit that gets you! DAMN! That is WILD though. Right or wrong, the BLM protests were over superfluous police violence... And these ones are over genocide... And NOW... He's condemning the latter... Even though if you had to choose one between the 2... I mean, you see the point I'm trying to make, right? And I'll take a second to take a point for myself. I'm the first one to make this connection. I'm a genius. Good job me. People are getting paid to do this guys... And I beat them to the punch every time! Best pundit of all time! Better than everyone!"
