A truly dumb effort by some screw-loosers. All it does is reinforce the racist stereotyping. It does not sound like it was dedicated to a *specific* African-American such as Barbara Jordan or Sheila Jackson-Lee so it would seem this monument is as non-offensive as it gets and yet a few yahoos show up to protest.
so it would seem this monument is as non-offensive as it gets
Really? So dedicating a monument to the contributions of White Americans in the state would not be 'offensive'?
All it does is reinforce the racist stereotyping.
What does this mean exactly? What is 'racist stereotyping'? And whose racist stereotyping are we talking about?
