How does taking down a statue "change history"?

[Caliman73]

7. It doesn't change history. It changes the future, and that is what they are afraid of.

White Supremacists/Nationalists hide behind the argument of changing history or culture because they know that taking down those racially intimidating statues from the public square, will enable an accurate narrative to be written about the place that the Confederacy should have in the history of the United States. Slavery, the Confederacy and all efforts made to revive overt White supremacy in the 20's-30's, the 50's-60's, and this current movement; belong in our history books as the shameful history of racism in the United States. They are not arguing about history. They are fighting for continued dominance in the social norms, continued unearned advantages in economic, legal, and social power. It has nothing to to with actual history and everything to do with pushing White privilege and dominance into the future.
