General R.K. Mellon and Andrew are rolling in their graves this morning. It's hard for me to believe this is happening to a great old Foundation. But, look who they hired! She'll drain the foundation dry unless stopped.

[Mr. K]

Just build giant trophies saying ‘This is for all of YOU, voters! because you’re the best! And dog gone it, people LIKE you!”

[yldstrk]

Took lessons from the Taliban.

“Christopher Columbus who has been denounced for his atrocities against indigenous people.”

No thanks, Columbus' contributions to discovering America for people who built it far outweigh Mellon's snowflake concerns.

Alexander has headed the foundation for the last two years and comes to the position with a background in African American studies and poetry. While at a previous position at the Ford Foundation she helped create an art initiative to address the problem of mass incarceration, and she recited a poem she’d written titled “Praise Song for the Day” at Barack Obama’s 2009 presidential inauguration.

Who the heck has a background in: African American studies and poetry? And now runs a multi billion foundation. We can see where this is heading.

[bankwalker]

how about we put all the statues back and shoot anybody that tries to destroy them.

[Varda]

This is why perpetual foundations are a bad idea. You are blindly sending money into the future. I just read that JRR Tolkiens foundation has met a similar fate.

[TheZMan]

“many people find offensive”

Bullshit.

[Trump20162020]

Truly a culture war against America.

[Bon of Babble]

Replace 'em all with this:

Although you can bet someone would be offended somewhere.
