lmao so condescending and self-satisfied

>> “Visitors to Virginia’s capital will find a Monument Avenue devoid of Confederate statues, a lively dining scene featuring Black-owned restaurants, and exhibitions that take on the city’s complicated past.”

what American city doesn’t have a ‘complicated past’ especially with issues of race and deeply-entrenched systemic racial inequality? looking right at you, new york city, especially your schools, your cops, and your jails/prisons. what a bunch of smug shallow liberal pat-on-the-back hogwash that has absolutely no critical value. good riddance to the monuments, but fuck you, NYT.
