This comic was illustrated by Tom Toles for The Washington Post in August of 2017. It shows a crane removing a statue of Robert E. Lee from a post with “White Racism” engraved in it. The statue is easily removed but the base is not. I believe the claim is; try as you might, you cannot erase history.

Next to the crane, there is a lady asking “Are you also going to remove the base?” As the crane hasn't removed the base, but simply removed the statue from the base. Standing atop the base is a man, who in response simply utters “Um…”
