The Red Sox have had enough.

At a moment when racial tensions have escalated rapidly and the removal of Confederate statues acts as a flashpoint for violent and racially divisive protests, the Red Sox are ready to start taking down a symbol of their own racially tainted history.

OK, now that we've opened this can of worms...do you think for even a moment that The Chicago White Sox isn't a code word or something?

Yep and the Cowboys now have to be renamed the:

Cow32Genders

Giants are a problem as they are vertical shaming.

Patriots sounds a little nationalistic doesn’t it?

The Cultural Revolution will stop only when the Red Guards get their orders to stop. They’ve done much but are not done yet.

Many thanks for the link!

I grew up singing/knowing Foster's songs at school and the morons who want to tear down his statue and destroy him/wipe him from history, are destroying not only beautiful music, but their own heritage too! Fosters was so far removed from being a racist, it is laughable! He was respectful towards negros, when that was an unusual position to have! He promoted a form of their music and culture and enshrined it in the very fabric of this nation and they're "complaining" about that?

Isn't it bad enough ( or good enough, depending on ones point of view ) that Foster and his music has been pretty much completely IGNORED for the last 6y0 years ?

Isn’t he the same person pushing the “It gets better” campaign, which lies to children, telling them a homosexual lifestyle is wonderful and risk free?
