I wasn't saying that we have a unique legacy of urban renewal damaging minority communities, just citing our history in response to the idea that Richmond is a city of harmonious racial integration. It still has its problems like a lot of other places in the South was my point.


I also wasn't trying to be a bummer or say they should re-route, just seeing what people here think of the discussion that it started in our community. Seems that people generally don't care about the statues, which is a good thing given that they aren't going anywhere, like you said.

I am happy that they announced the University of Richmond roll out location for the road race, that means they'll finally pave some of those awful potholes on Three Chopt that I hit every few days.
