“Sheila JACKSON LEE has got to go!!!”

Ouch, that’s a DOUBLE EVIL name!

Spike LEE, too!

Ban all music by Stonewall JACKSON... In fact, BAN all JACKSON music - Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, etc.

Bruce LEE movies have to go!

Richard Stockton University in Southern New Jersey has removed their bust of Richard Stockton because he apparently had a couple of slaves.

You know the Richard Stockton who was a member of the Continental Congress, Chief Justice of the NJ Supreme Court, signer of the Declaration of Independence, was imprisoned by the British for over a year on a British prison ship, taking over 2 years to recover from the experience. Oh he was a personal friend of Edmund Burke, Benjamin Rush and John Witherspoon.

Weird thing is the local NAACP was not aware that he had even owned slaves. ell lets hope that they will not remove his statue from the National Statuary Hall Collection at the United States Capitol. He is one of only six signers to be so honored
