CMV: The statues of slave traders or racists should not be destroyed, and instead me kept in a museum to be looked upon in a non glorified manner

Recently protesters have been vandalising and destroying statues of slave traders or racist individuals.

Although I appreciate the message, I feel it is destroying a part of history.

These are statues of immoral people, but defiling them is defiling history. Destroying a Nazi rifle in a museum would not only fix nothing but it would take away a piece of our *memory*.

In Germany they have memorials for the holocaust victims all the time. They have countless museums dedicated to it. They do not forget. Rather they look back and learn

I think we should take these statues and put them on display in a completely non glorified way. This sends the message they want to send while not taking a way the memory that it happened.

EDIT: It's only been an hour but I've gotten to many comments to keep track of the different threads lol. It's also pretty late. I won't respond to much after this

EDIT 2: My mind has already been changed many times, but I can't delta 587 comments. Thanks :)

EDIT 3: Despite my previous edits I am still getting dozens of notifications at a time. Just please stop. I have already changed my mind

How are protestors supposed to build those museums? Also what prevents museums from displaying these statues even after they have been somewhat destroyed? Do you think the historical value is lost when you add a paragraph of "During the 2020 riots against police brutality this statue has been beheaded by protestors."?  
I would say there is now even more reason to display them and quite clearly museums didnt think there was enough reason to display them before the riots.
