What give this wench the right to take down a statue? How about refusing my evil white tax money, babe?
How about giving up your car, medicine, and electricity and other things evil white guys created.

The media has done more to destroy the left and the democratic party then anyone. The promote such radicalized mostly unpopular ideas and present them as normal and good.
Their bubble is so small it’s not even funny. You would think losing three states that haven’t went red in 30 years due do white females and white males of the middle class these self hating dummies would get the hint that their pandering, divisive, identity politics is a big loser outside of their safe places.

The World Workers Party, a Communist group, is responsible for toppling a statue that they claim represents "a monument to slavery". A group supporting Communism protesting slavery.....

Let that sink in for a minute....
