The existence of statues, monuments and public displays in Buffalo should not be governed by the whims of an angry mob fueled by delusions of "correcting" history or society. The city of Buffalo, and Western New York as a whole, has many more important issues that are completely unrelated to the names of city parks or any public monuments.

History is important to the culture of a society and no one is denying past indiscretions. Many of the most significant figures in Western history were obviously flawed as all of them were human. Many of the Founding Fathers, American presidents and countless U.S. officials were flawed people.
