On Wednesday night, Daily Show host Trevor Noah proposed a solution to the Confederate statues dilemma. Instead of removing the statues altogether, he said, the U.S should add a statue of LeBron James dunking on the heads of Confederate soldiers.
After showing a montage of clips, from a man referring to Martin Luther King Jr. as “Martin Luther Coon,” to a CNN interview with Stonewall Jackson descendent Warren Christian, Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr. said that arguing to keep the statues in order to remember the past is “like if a woman got out of an abusive relationship and then she had to keep pictures of her ex up in her house to remember the time.”
