Just a thought…

Writes the Rev. Larry Beane:

If racism is “bigotry plus power,” then as inanimate objects, statues have no power.  Therefore, statues cannot be racist, by definition.

But those attacking them indeed have power over them to topple them. They have bigotry plus power.

Therefore those toppling the statues – and not the statues themselves – are racist.

This is where their own tautological logic leads.
