Does this mean that only Arthur Ashe would be left?
What about the Constitution? A lot of the men who signed it were slaveowners.

So you’re OK with one statue torn down.....
....then you’re OK with ALL meeting the same fate as that is what it leads to.
We have a Confederate statue here that is being guarded night and day.
No doubt.....NO DOUBT....the townspeople would tie themselves to it to prevent defacing or destruction of it.
We once were a nation ruled by law, today it seems we are ruled by mobs. All is well and good Mr. Mayor when you agree with the mob, but one of these days the mob will be after you and there will be no law to protect you.
One picture says a thousand words!
World gone mad.
It's only the ignorance of the MSM that permits wall-to-wall coverage of these incoherent activities and inane demands.
============================================
You've got this moron----Dirty Democrat NY Cong Yvette Clarke----undermining the US government---tearing down Confederate statues (to switch the focus from her crimes).
This idiot---NY Democrat Cong Yvette Clarke--- actually approved a $120,000 "write-off" of tax-paid tech Equipment Linked To the treasonous Paki/Awan clan.
AND GET THS The missing govt-issue tax-paid devices included many iPhones and iPads. At $800 each, Cong Yvette Clarke's $120,000 write-off would force taxpayers to pay for 150 electronic items for her staff of 16......that's about 10 iPhones and iPads each.
DIRTY DEMOCRAT CLARKE'S HYPOCRISY IS JAW-DROPPING.
Democrat Cong Yvette Clarke's payroll records indicate she has 16 employees......why did Cong Clarke need so many electronics for that small staff? (smirk--- another way pols steal from taxpayers is one conclusion).
According to ace reporting by The Daily Caller, her chief of staff (who Cong Clarke directs) casually signed off on what appears to be a theft ring operating inside the Democrat Congressional Caucus. The facts suggest the Awan gang was running the oldest of scams......selling computer gear out the back door after first reporting it stolen to authorities. (hat tip The Daily Caller)
============================================
Cong Yvette Clarke describes herself as a "Caribbean-American."
=============================================
Remember, taxpayers.....dirty Democrat Cong Yvette Clarke's 120,000 dollar "write off" is JUST ONE of the Dmocrats the Paki clan IT'ed for.
None of the 80 odd Democrats the Paki clan IT'ed have been audited for similar financing scams.
And if more than one Democrat did the Yvette Clarke Write-off Act, this indicates "organized crime".....they should all be prosecuted under RICO.
Visited here once. Does this go too? (Actually it’s National Park Service...probably not. I think Trump even donated his first year salary to NPS)

White House of the Confederacy
>> The White House of the Confederacy has been designated a National Historic Landmark
In addition to its historic interest as the seat of the Confederacy during the Civil War, the home and attached museum rank as the most outstanding repository of Confederate memorabilia in the United States.
What’s next? The WWII Memorial, the Marine Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Wall, Lincoln’s Memorial, Jefferson’s Memorial, Grant’s Tomb, maybe even plow under Arlington Cemetery. These ass holes will turn this nation into another Soviet Union, North Korea, Nazi Germany, Iran, etc. before long.
I’m offended by the mayor. He needs to go.

I will not be surprised when the arsonists get to the White House of the Confederacy. It’s just a matter of time before it, Monticello, and Mount Vernon are torched by Antifa.
Who elected these azzhats?
It was just a matter of time before Stoney went after the monuments. Monument Avenue is famous & a tourist attraction so he can say bye bye to a lot of tourist dollars when Monument Avenue becomes “Politically Correct Avenue”. He should take a lesson from Charles Barkley & work on the falling down schools, unaccredited schools, & teacher shortage in Richmond instead of wasting time & taxpayer money on statues.
Just a couple of thoughts. There is no satisfying the iconoclasts. Once they win on one set of statues and monuments, there will be another and another, until you can’t even have a smiley face on display without “triggering” somebody. This isn’t about statues and monuments. It’s about power. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton have corralled a lot of power, thus sucking it away from newer players who have struck out to make a name for themselves in the grievance business. They are, in effect, building a brand. This is about community organizing. Obama empowered these people by bringing them to the White House; the same sort of empowerment Clinton gave to Arafat, thus killing any chance for a peace deal. An invite to the White House creates instant notoriety that can be leveraged for whatever your agenda is. Now that Obama is gone, the field is clear for new grievance competitors, it’s like the death of the dinosaurs created a whole new ecological scene ripe for the taking. The new guys are leveraging the Resist movement and the anti-Trumpism to make a whole new type of political animal; same as the old one but bigger, toothier and more cunning. The only way to stop this is to come down hard, and with permanent, forceful corrective actions. Arrest them and throw them in jail for a year before their trial. Then attempt to keep them off the streets as long as possible. If we don’t do this, it may spiral out of control.
The other thing to do is determine who is financing this and shut them down. Permanently. Use RICO and terrorist laws. The tools are there. We need officials with the gonads to use them and judges who will make them stick.
Looks like an Eddie Murphy clone!
Hysteria and mob psychology. One person starts the panicked flight from reality, the rest go into “follow the herd” mentality.
Act in haste, repent at leisure.
Twenty years, fifty years, someone will ask, how could they be so stupid?
