Robert Johnson, the founder of BET and an avid critic of activists on the left of the political spectrum, thinks the removal of confederate statues is not an important issue for Black people.

The death of a Black man named George Floyd in Minnesota last month has sparked a lot of unrest around the country and launched conversations about police brutality and racism.

Some proponents of the Black Lives Matter movement used the opportunity to go after statues and other symbols of the country’s complicated history involving race.

Businesses, artists like the Dixie Chicks were forced to drop their old names. A few critics believe that activists should focus more on institutional changes instead of bringing down racist landmarks.
