With the uproar over Confederate statues, you knew it wouldn’t stop there. You knew it would go on and on until every piece of American history was removed.
The next step just happened in Chicago.
“A Chicago pastor has asked the Emanuel administration to remove the names of two presidents who owned slaves from parks on the South Side, saying the city should not honor slave owners in black communities. A bronze statue of George Washington on horseback stands at the corner of 51st and King Drive, at the northwest entrance to Washington Park.
Bishop James Dukes, pastor of Liberation Christian Center, said he wants the statue gone, and he wants George Washington’s name removed from the park.
‘When I see that, I see a person who fought for the liberties, and I see people that fought for the justice and freedom of white America, because at that moment, we were still chattel slavery, and was three-fifths of humans,’ he said. ‘Some people out here ask me, say ‘Well, you know, he taught his slaves to read.’ That’s almost sad; the equivalent of someone who kidnaps you, that you gave them something to eat.’
Dukes said, even though Washington was the nation’s first president and led the American army in the Revolutionary War, he’s no hero to the black community.”
Outrageous!
Where does it end?

James Woods said if Confederate statues should come down, this statue of a former KKK member should come down, too:

Of course, he was a “mentor” to Hillary, so that would be hard for the Democrats to take.
In the end, no one wins from taking down the statues.
