Some defended the murals, saying their intent wasn't racist or intimidating but to depict local history, even if it is ugly.

The murals are a part of history! If we keep taking down/and or removing statue's and Murals why teach history in schools!!! This is getting totally out of hand!!

Tim Montee

why take them down, it is history that needs to be seen and remembered the way it was and not the way they want you to see it, or not see it...

If the paintings are offensive, then you'd have to count George Caleb Bingham's famous Order Number 11 painting as offensive too.

History is HISTORY!!!

Trying to sweep history under the door is no way to improve our Nation. The Boone County Commission is a failure.

Examining our past is SUPPOSED to feel uncomfortable. This is where the urge to grow and change comes from. It's the same sort of whitewashing of the past as the fake issue of Critical Race Theory.

If these paintings were painted today, there would be drive by shootings, tent cities on the sidewalks, and needles and human waste everywhere. We don't want the truth to be exposed. It might hurt someone's feelings.

Laura Davidson

What does it matter? They will do what they want regardless.

Melanie Dix

Because the people in the painting are white not black.

Kevin Blount

We have existing agreements with Greenland and Denmark regarding military bases. We should expand on that, rather than threaten to take the entire country by force 'if necessary'

Trump is still your President

The referees are determining the winners. The NFL has become a giant money laundering system. There is nothing there for me anymore, but I have a lot more time with my lovely wife, and our friends.

Roger Goodell gets paid $64 million dollars a year to ruin the game.

The Chief's biggest mistake was signing Taylor Swift. That's when it all went South, and now the team is moving West.
