Boston’s mayor has said he supports calls to either remove or change a statue which depicts Abraham Lincoln standing over a freed slave who is crouched on his knees.

Mayor Marty Walsh has come under pressure this weekend to have the city haul away the monument after an online petition calling for the removal of the Emancipation Memorial in Park Square in downtown went viral.

As of Monday afternoon, more than 8,400 people signed the petition, which was started by a local resident from the neighborhood of Mission Hill.

And so this black man asks:

After they are done, what will we say happened between 1861 and 1865?

Bad white men freed the Slaves from other bad white men. Now let us turn to the next page.......

I bet you could convince a lot of BLM people to sign a petition to repeal the 13th Amendment.

A fricken imbecile for even ‘considering’ it.

Pandering to the leftists - in the end never pays off.
