RE: FORESIGHT: What happened in the 19th and 20th century? Creating a doomed future.

You did that very well. Started with stuff any sensible person could agree with (ISIS destroying and defacing the past - like the Taliban before them ironically)
Then you equate it with Americans wanting to get rid of Confederate statues. You know, like those two things are equivalent.

They aren't.

Trust and believe, getting rid of those statues will in no way cause Americans to forget the atrocities their ancestors were subjected to by the institution of slavery. Destroying a statue of Robert E Lee or whichever slaver general will not cause him to be forgotten. He is not worshipped, he is not a tourist attraction, his statue is not the sole connection to him or his time. We have history books for that.

It has nothing to do with Safe Spaces and everything to do with not letting white supremacist lunatics be comfortable and inspired.
