It's embarrassing when the French make more sense than the US: Emmanuel Macron: France Will Not Engage In ‘False Rewriting Of History,’ No Statues Are Coming Down

 PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 08: French President Emmanuel Macron makes a statement next to Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (unseen) during a press conference after their meeting at the Elysee Presidential Palace on June 08, 2017 in Paris, Kuczynski is on an official visit to France before going to Spain.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Sunday that his country would combat racism and bigotry but would not let violent rioters destroy statues or “rewrite” France’s history.

“We will be inflexible when it comes to tackling racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination, and new strong decisions will be made to reinforce the egality of chances,” Macron said, according to a translation provided by TIME. “But this noble fight is perverted when it turns into communitarianism, into a false rewriting of history.”
