This is not about racism. This is about fascism. It always was.

Will be interesting to see the western hunting community response. Plenty of those guys tend to lean left, including the well known names, but also idolize TR.

I guarantee you that Stone Mountain gets a remake.....

No way that is gonna survive.....

The problem is too many conservatives love being left alone, working, raising kids, going to their ball games, PTA meetings, church.....they dont have time for activism...and really dont care too.....

This country hasn't falllen far enough to get people on the right fed up, but its getting close

For the amount of time that the USA was involved in outlaw practices like slavery and the way we are being come after. You would think we have the history that Great Britain has(thousands of years) with their hands in just about EVERY society known to man.
Nowhere anywhere in the world are better opportunities afforded to ALL people than in the USA. The problem is...equal opportunity does not guarantee an equal outcome.
It is making me sick on how 12-15% of this nation can make out the USA to be such a horrible country and so many are buying it also.
I have ZERO guilt.

I have ZERO guilt

This statue is being removed by request of the family.

Like maybe the Family is ashamed that Teddy's likeness is used in association with anything having to do with New York?!! I can see it!!

[Artos]

The report I saw said they had been thinking about it for some time...that particular one is in front of a museum so not sure if it's coming inside or to be removed from the grounds. It's him on a horse with a native american standing on one side & black man on the other.

I don't know the history behind it so can't comment on the relevance but likely a good move before it & the museum itself was defaced along with the neighborhood.

Maybe, but DeBlasio certainly made Teddy out to be a land grabbing racist who was superiorly mounted on a horse above two minorities

This is not about racism. This is about fascism. It always was.

This is ALL about Marxism not racism
