"Melting down confederate statues and turning their remains into statues of the cast of hit Adult Swim animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force" sounds like a great political platform. I'd vote for them.
Whenever someone tells me it's part of their heritage I challenge them to name the relative in question. When they try to make excuses about no one remembering that far back I drop that Jeb Stuart was my Great-Great-Great Grand Uncle and that I'm glad he's dead.
