Just as how in the wee hours of last Thursday morning they came and took away the Stephen Foster Memorial Statue here in his hometown of Pittsburgh. Because the statue and his music were RAAAAAACIST.
The vast majority of Pittsburghers did not want this. But a few screaming activists on the nearby college campuses did. So the Mayor and the City Arts Commission duly ignored us.
I hadn't heard about this, and it's sickening. The irony is that Foster had a deep love and respect for the folk songs of American blacks, as he did for all folk music.

A small, shrill caste of professional victims manage to find offense at everything is being allowed to tyrannize over the rest of America, and nothing is being done to stop them. I wish that Trump had declared the Foster statue (along with Confederate statues) National Monuments under the authority of the National Park Service, so that mayors and governors beholden to noisy antifans and minority agitators wouldn't be able to touch them.
