“Wilson, a Virginia-born Democrat, is mostly remembered as a progressive, internationalist statesman,...”
Wow, amazing they printed those words in the NY Times.
I guess we have to give the BLM group “stopped clock” credit for being right about something. Woodrow Wilson was a pig.
I feel the same about Jackson and the forced Indian Removal.
Wilson was the worst president in US history. Yes, that includes Zero.
My Grandfather voted for Taft.
By today’s crazy standards I’d guess Abe Lincoln would be considered a racist
Next up, George Washington, and the movement to remove “Washington” from “Washington D.C.”
In spite of this barbaric cruelty (of about 140 years ago) I understand several things.1) British people of *today* cannot...and *must* not...be blamed for that policy.2) I am far happier...and far *luckier*...to have been born in the US rather than Ireland.
So I'd say to the author of this piece...GET OVER IT!
And wasn't it Wilson who resegregated the US Army?
I loathe Woodrow Wilson.
But what I loathe far more is the Mao-style erasure of American history and heritage by these self-righteous modern-day snowflakes and pajama-boys.
Remember when Cankles likened herself to Wilson?
I demand that ALL students WHITE and BLACK and ASIAN and HISPANIC immediately withdraw from Princeton and every other college as they are all guilty of racism , bigotry, prejudice, homophobiaa, heterophobia and LGATXYZ.
There that solves our college problem as well as student demands for free tuition.
These idiots need to quit worrying about what happened yesterday, and so long ago, and start worrying about what is going to happen tomorrow.
You can’t change the past, but you can influence the future.
Well, at least one good thing comes out of this Black Lives Matter lunacy. The Dems are finally, at least in some small way, being forced to face their racist past. All their heroes are racist KKK sympathizers. The Dems were, are and always have been the Party of Race.
Wilson should be a warning to anyone who would support a third party candidate.
The Bull Moose Party gave us Wilson.
Had TR not run we would have had Taft as president and not Wilson.
Students at Princeton, of any color, are clearly privileged just by being students there.
Therefore they should be denied the right to speak, protest, be heard or seen, or fed. In fact, lock them in boxes and play Barry Manilow songs at them until they repent for existing.
Ha ha!
I love this.
The progressives are out to destroy their own “George Washington.”
...and he was a brilliant, really-really smart, intellectual, Progressive genius.
/S/
IMHO
Are we going to exhume him and put him on trial?
Woodrow Wilson was a horrible President in some ways. He was a racist and Klan sympathizer and he helped inflict the horrible Treaty of Versailles. The Klan grew during his Presidency and lynching increased.
That being said, he did get some good workplace safety laws passed for factories, which were dangerous hellholes back in the day.
That he should be reviled by Progressivism's hopelessly naive children is not something with which we should interfere.
We should instead pop some more popcorn!
