Are they going to be banning the movie ‘Forrest Gump’ in the city as well?
The Forrest Gump Statue?
Stupid is as stupid does.
No Class
Grave desecrators.
No different than ISIS.
It should be made known that when Forrest’s remains are disturbed that all Black honoree monuments in Memphis will be destroyed by the Celtic Order of the Ryan.
Ford’s family dynasty is the funeral business. Steady work in Memphis.
Memphis = Detroit of the South.
Removing this monument won’t make it any less of a slum.
Along these same lines the House has voted to ban the sale of the Confederate flag from National Park gift stores. I can see gift shops going broke in Gettysburg, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chattanooga, Manassas etc. Does the madness end?
I’ve only been through the airport to change planes, I never made it to Beale Street.
Not just grave desecrators.
Confederate soldiers are American soldiers.
It is desecrating the graves of American soldiers.
Beale Street used to be nice. I would be afraid to go down there now. Way too much violence in Memphis now.
So maybe history didn’t happen? So maybe we should erase slavery out of the history books too...just didn’t happen.
Evil, disgusting, putrid worms.
So we need to ban buying anything in their gift shop.
Tit for tat.
When I was growing up in the area in the 60s it was not a place to go for whites. Then they cleaned it up and made it a tourist attraction. So you’re saying now it’s back to the old days?
I think 63% of the population of Memphis is black. Why in the hell would any white person want to live there?

I cannot answer that. It’s been the late 90’s since I visited Beale Street.
I have friends that live near or visit Memphis regularly and they would tell you that it’s not a safe town. Many have had to move to Germantown, Cordova, or into northern Mississippi.
