We need to take down George Washington and Thomas Jefferson statues next!

[Irish]

Why are we letting these racist slave owners have statues? This racism cannot stand.

We must get rid of all their statues, and rename any city/state/school names after these racists. Let's go!

Where is Antifa? Let's get the torches going. How can we allow these racist statues to remain?

CNN's Angela Rye called for statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to come down Thursday on the network.

"American history is not all glorious... George Washington was a slave owner. We need to call slave owners out for what they are. Whether we think they were protecting American freedom or not, he wasn't protecting my freedoms," the network contributor said.

"To me, I don't care if it's a George Washington statue or Thomas Jefferson, they all need to come down," Rye concluded.

Sarcasm bitch. Do you speak it?

They were only racists. Even though they created the greatest form of govt ever, and this nation, they were still racist, and thus statues must come down.

Patriotism is the litmus test.

This is the Orwellian style leftism that's going mainstream. Pretty soon the American flag, and statues/names of the founding fathers will have to go.

What's next? Where does it end?

[Getin the ring]

The left, when faced with the fact they have no ideas, no leader, no way forward, once again resort to ...ready....drum roll........the race card
wow, didn't see that coming lololololo

Do you really believe that is why they are taking down the statues? Because they are unpatriotic....

You call it attempts at humor but this debate is happening in certain circles.


This is in SF:

Debate Over Changing Name Of George Washington High Renewed

From today's SF Chronicle:


The ugly pasts of famous men whose names grace SF landmarks
Should these places be renamed?

It may be fringe today but could be mainstream tomorrow.
