Cecil Rhodes defaced in South Africa
The madness of the time spent on destruction. Some of these are pieces of art. At least part of the heritage is the fact that mainstream society adored him. Do we really want to destroy that insight.

Cecil John Rhodes was no friend of the Afrikaners, and yet no Afrikaner would dream of defacing anything that commemorates him, and will even concede that he made valuable contributions to the country. I believe that this is the attitude of Europeans all over the world - to value their heritage, even those aspects of it which they are not wildly excited about.
It is very obvious WHY lesser peoples feel the need to destroy these symbols: It is because they are concrete and visual reminders of their intellectual inferiority.
(Although, in this case I suspect it was just someone who wanted a clump of bronze to sell as scrap metal).
