All these statues and monuments existed during the Obama Administration. Nothing was done then, so why is it a problem now?

Pittsburgh began its existence as Fort Duquesne. Fort Duquesne was blown up by retreating French soldiers to prevent the British from occupying it, so the British built Fort Pitt. Fort Pitt was leveled as the city grew around into Pittsburgh.
So Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt were both torn down centuries before I was born but everyone around here still knows they existed.
