Anti -racism protests across the United States have caused statues of some southern federal leaders to be overturned and damaged.The U.S. Senate Military Commission passed the amendment of the National Defense Authorization Act on June 11. It was required that the Ministry of Defense will be renamed as assets such as the military base named after the southern Union Federation of the South Federation within three years, and refused to pay tribute to the supporters.
Perosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress, demanded that the removal of the statue of racist historic figures in the parliamentary building and military bases.These statues include former President Jefferson Davis (Jefferson Davis), and General Robert Lee, commander of the Southern and Southern War.Perosi said at a press conference on June 11 that the statue of Congress should show the highest concept of Americans, but these statues of these statues advocate that through brutal and brutal behaviors to achieve the purpose of similar racial discrimination, this seems abrupt and humiliated in my country. idea.
Pelosi also ordered the portrait of the Son of the Southern Confederation of the 19th Century of the Parliament.She said that in the sacred Congress hall or any honor, we have no room for men to commemorate these men who symbolize violence paranoia with the Southern State Monster.
The traceability of history seems to be endless.Local media in Oregon reported that on the evening of June 14, some anti -racial discrimination demonstrators pushed down the statue of the Tomas Middot; Jefferson statue of the local Jefferson High School in the protests of the state, and its base was also graffiti.Jefferson is one of the US Father and the main draft of the American Declaration of Independence.On the 18th, the demonstrators pulled down the statue of Washington, a Washington statue on the lawn of the German -American Association in the city, and the demonstrators described Washington as the (implementation) racial colonists.

People can call the United States and Europe as historical vibration.For the Chinese who have experienced the New Culture Movement and the Gas -Class Culture Revolution, these phenomena are not difficult to understand.Whenever the cultural concept has changed significantly, especially when people's values change, all the previous history must be vibrate.
The deficiency of history is not to say that what happened from the past does not exist, but today people are separated from the environment and real -time scene of things at that time.Among them.The purpose of historical deficiency is nothing more than history.The phenomenon of ancient sarcasm and ancient and present is common among historians and can occur in any country.It is difficult for historians to not have the history of nothingness, let alone ordinary people.Regardless of whether people like or not, the history of nothingness is norm.
In reality, it is not difficult to understand the nothingness of history.At the level of thinking, for most people, only when history and reality are associated, people start (motivated) to understand history, and history has meaningful to them.BENEDETTO CROCE, Italian historian, believes that history is based on the current real life as its reference department.This means that in the past, it was understood by the past when it coincides with the current perspective.
In other words, not only our thoughts are currently, but we so -called history only exist in our current; without the current life, there is no past history.Similarly, British historian Robin George Collingwood also believes that all history is a tendency history.
Not many people will deny that historic deficiency is too aggressive.But for radicals, this radical is not only understandable, but alsoAnd it is also a manifestation of moral courage.If history is always a record of winners and the history of the ruling class, then history is actually the name of the vested interest groups.Therefore, history often presents itself through the structural inequality of today, and continues.
It is not difficult to understand that the power of historical deficiency often comes from people at the bottom of society, that is, social groups that are systematically oppressed.To change structural inequality and strive for some equality, some moral courage is needed.How to get this moral courage?If people are realistic enough, they will never produce this moral courage.In order to obtain moral courage and take the concept of existentialism, it is necessary to do nothing to deal with history.In the process of deficiency, people have gained the significance of daily struggle.
Non -no -no -no -and -noise has a moral courage, a revolutionary action, and a revolution with good opportunities for nothingness.Therefore, some observers believe that the statue of the US and British protesters today symbolizes the paradigm transfer, which means that white people can no longer continue to determine how history is written.
Harvard professor James Simpson believes that the phenomenon of destroying symbols is at the moment of the revolution. The fastest and stable way to attack the old -fashioned system is to destroy the memorial.The professor believes that because it symbolizes its own power, it is powerful and has a venting effect.This kind of behavior has long been seen during the period of religious reforms in ancient Egypt and Europe; after the disintegration of communism in Eastern Europe, many countries have removed the statue of Lenin; the U.S. military attacked Iraq in 2003, and the statue of Iraqi President Saddam was overturned.
Mike Forcia, Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA, has been trying to move the Columbus statue through official channels, but no one cares.This time, he and the demonstrators took only two minutes and pushed the Columbus statue.Jalaane Schmidt, a professor of religious research in Virginia, has been calling for the Federation of Federation in the state in the past four years, but there is no specific result.This time, it was as expected because the anti -police violent demonstrators recently destroyed these federations, including the statue of General Li.The Governor of the Democratic Party has announced that the statue of General Li has been removed.
The difficulty of racism
Although historical deficiency is inevitable for the bottom of the society, the role of this deficiency is also extremely limited.It is precisely because history is embedded in inequality's social structure. Whether it is pushing the statue or other forms of historical and cultural reflection, it seems difficult to change history.In Georgia, the United States, Sara Patendaude, founder of the Federal Federation Monument and the founder of the Hate Free Decatur, said that it was not only related to the commemorative object of the commemorative object when reflecting on the federal commemorative behavior.We have always believed that if the (whitening) system still exists, it is not enough to remove the memorials.
Petysid is very correct.Without justice, there is no peace. This is the slogan shouted by the Parisian rally in Paris, France.However, it is clear that racism should target the socio -economic conditions faced by minority groups, which has contributed that this change is much more difficult than pushing the statue alone.
Looking at it, it is reaction after radical, and after removing history is the return of history.After people can almost predict the radical movement, conservativeism in the United States will inevitably return.In fact, conservatism also began to mobilize.
On June 11, conservative US Fox news host Stuart Middot; Vani said in the show that the so -called resistance culture in the United States is currently emerging, that is, to resist everything that people think they are offending, a movie of a movie, a movie, a movie, a movie, a movie, a movie, A TV show, a statue, a painting or even a point of view prohibited it!Remove it!Kait it out of the debate.Vani believes that the current anti -racist protests in the United States have triggered the avalanche -type resistance, which is very dangerous for freedom of speech.Political analysts and writers David Middot; Rubin also said in an interview with the Fox News that resisting the culture is sweeping the country and has been out of control.
Earlier, the New York Times Philadelphia inquiry reported that two media editors were forced to resign because of the manuscripts that have published and ask for the opposite of the protesters.Rubin said that we have the idea of putting the best of the troubled times from HBO, so we may get off the shelves and every comedy may be removed.Rubin said that these are art. If you follow this logic, then we may have to review all music, movies, and TV programs again. In the end, what we leave is mdash; mdash; you can only sit in one room.Keep silent in the room at the same time.
The rebound of politicians is also strong.U.S. President Trump has stated that he will veto the Senate Military Commission to ask the Ministry of Defense to revise the military base named Southern Federation of Federation generals, and promote Republican members to support the reserved name of the military base.
British Prime Minister Johnson on Twitter scolded the demonstrators attempted to destroy the statue of the Churchi. Even though we could not accept the point of view of the Prime Minister at the time today, he always saved the hero who saved Britain from the Fascist and racist tyranny.Johnson said that anti -discrimination demonstrations are legal demands, but emphasizing that the world cannot try to modify or review the past.He pointed out that the statue let the world know the past, including all errors, and demolition is lying to history.
Both radical and conservative parties seem to have their own truth.Although any society, as the British conservativeist Edmund Burke said, it is a contract, not only the cooperation between this generation of people now, but also those who are alive and dead, as well as those who are dead, as well as those who are aboutCooperation between people born.Really, radical generations are because of extreme unequal people in this generation, making cooperation between them impossible, and affecting those who have died, and even involved those who are about to be born.
However, the fierce contest of radical and conservative sides shows that history has become unbalanced and needs to return to a new equilibrium state.
