rotesters gathered in New York's Central Park on Saturday to demand the removal of a statue of a 19th century doctor who conducted experiments on African American women slaves. A bronze likeness of Dr. James Marion Sims stands at the entrance of Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 103rd Street in Manhattan. The statue, which was originally dedicated in 1894, stands to honor the man considered to be 'the father of modern gynecology.'

How else ya gonna smash th’ patriarchy?
Are there any statues of Louis Pasteur around to take down? Vaccination is so.... raisis.
We have statues of good people being torn down. So how does a walking, breathing horrible LIVING person get a free "get out of jail" card?
Fascinating. I get to see a solar eclipse AND a slow-motion revolution in one lifetime.

Don’t any of these people work?

Time to remove all the statues of MLK Jr.?
They should replace it with a statue more palatable to the left, Margaret Sanger.
Any monuments and statues honoring LBJ and Harry Truman should be taken down too. If you read David McCullough’s book on Truman and Robert Caro’s books on LBJ neither man was shy about using the N word. This is so ridiculous now.
We don’t even need to mock these people. They lampoon themselves. This story is not as good as the racist USC Trojan horse story, though.
Next up statue of Colonel Linguist
In Philadelphia, the statue of Rocky Balboa that was used in “Rocky III” is on display outside of the Art Museum. I’m wondering when they’ll demand that this staue be removed? After all, Rocky Balboa was a white guy who beat up a couple of black guys named Apollo Creed and Clubber Lang.
“I wasn’t sure what kind of doctor I was, but looking at all the lovely sisters here, I think I’ll be a doctor of gynecology.” - Mike Tyson’s commencement address upon receiving an Honorary Doctorate from Central State University 1989
Yes, but how many Sims are demanding its removal?
(Seriously? The father of gynecology is named Sims? There are some video-game makers laughing their asses off.)
OMG! Dr Mike Tyson! I looked that one up. I don’t think Central State University’s mascot, Marauder Man, will survive the PC craze, especially since he’s arguably white and it’s an historically black college.
Dr. Sims really got into his work.
Our “entitlement republic” has made fools of us all ... taxpayers and parasites alik (though in different ways).
Many of them are paid by employers and preferred by drug addled or lustful bosses, but they don’t do any real work.
