I read on Newmax.com that they are doing a historectomy on American History these days. Thought that was pretty clever, meself!

[OldFriend]

Maybe the Booklyn Museum can lend them the picture of the Virgin Mary with elephant dung splattered on the picture...or the picture of convicted child molestors........be more fitting perhaps.

How about hanging the "first black president" who looks white, has gray hair, is married to a sometimes Jewish woman who likes to hug and kiss Arab terrorists wives. Sounds very PC to me.

[Eddeche]

This guy sounds like a nut, but seriously, I could give a sh*t what is hanging on the wall in his office.

"Markowitz... said he wants suggestions from the Brooklyn Museum..."

Dear Mr. Markowitz, you have asked for our suggestions and here they are:

1) Eldridge Cleaver in his cod-piece pants.
2) Senator Clinton as leather-clad dominatrix.
3) Hermaphrodite Jesus suspended in urine.

Hope this helps,

Brooklyn Museum Board of Trustees

I think George Washington should be judged by the content of his character, not the color of his skin.

Little man with big eraser, changing history. Do they teach any pre-1960 history anymore? I mean anything besides oppression?

[rightwingextremist1776]

WELL SAID, wish I thought of it!

"We don't have a clue of who these people are"

Do you think he's trying to tell us something we don't Know?

All you need to know about history is one word, "slavery", thats all. I think you get an "A" if you know the answer on a high school history test.

Question: Tell us what you know about history.

Answer: Slavery

You have now passed history. Don't forget the extra 10 points for spelling your name correct

History = "I thinkstory"

It is just amazing how much the title of your post matches my post. How did you figure out the double post so fast? I'm just amazed! Not one word the same and it only took you a few minutes to post the dreaded "already posted here" post.

[Elsie]

Try looking in a history book. You still have those in Brooklyn, don't you?

Ok, someone who LIVES in Brooklyn; could you please take a LOOK into one of the kids 'history' books to actually SEE if those guys are still in there today?

[Freemyland]

Well, to be fair, there probably isn't a calendar up this guy's a$$, where his head obviously is.

The new Brooklyn borough president says "diversity" is making him take down a portrait of "old white man" George Washington...."We don't have a clue who these folks are," Markowitz said.

We are officially Balkanized.

Breaks my heart.

[Check_Your_Premises]

You are right. I never thought of it that way. I am going to change my panties and blow my brains out...

Or wait a minute. I think I have heard of a concept before. If I am going to go down I sure as hell will go down fighting. That is the choice that faced the passengers that took that plane down in Pennsylvania.

So how about being a friggin man and quit saying depressing, defeatist things. How about looking back on your heritage as an AMERICAN. Americans are not pussies, we are the worlds most prolific ass kickers. How about fighting for what you believe in.

I say this is a wake up call (yet another) for us all to reach down, grab a pair, and say "LET'S ROLL".

Sorry but I very peeved by this kind of talk.

[Clemenza]

Should have rephrased it. We had a "similar" post, though not the same. Sorry. No need to get snippy. :-)

[Argus]

Why take it down? Just morph Chris Rock's face onto Washington's portrait and problem solved.

[norton]

I've a better suggestion, since someone asked for help, leave Ol George right where he is (maybe with a note attached telling visitors who George Washington was),
Then remove any and all photographs of Mr. Markowitz' wife, kids, doggie, or boyfriend, his mother, father, aunt Em, or anyone named Kennedy, and replace each of THEM with someone from the lists being recommended.
I'd further recommend replacing any shots of his parents with a nice (signed) photo of Jihad Johnny's folks back here on the left coast - that's diverse isn't it?

[rightwingextremist1776]

Did not mean to be snippy, just see a lot of "already posted here" or "posted earlier" posts. Then when you click on the link, the title on the post doesn’t even come close to what the original article title is. It is impossible to search on every combination of titles that could apply to a given article. If the title of the post was the same than "shame on me" for the double post. If the title on the post is not the same, or the source is not the same, than it's not a double post. If it is not a double post. Don’t post "already posted here". It does get annoying. ;)

Anyone in the few Brooklyn neighborhoods not dependent on welfare or government employment either 1. Sends their children to private schools (even many poor people in Brooklyn send their kid to parochial schools) or 2. force their kids to try for the "honors" public high schools in NYC.
