As the riots continue and rule by mob becomes more acceptable, what statues and memorials of Democrats, liberals and other bad guys have been toppled, defaced, removed, or burned to the ground?
Boston is actually considering removing Lincoln freeing a slave...
I like this statue but this consideration highlights the mad dog crazy
In Whittier, Calif., a statue of the city’s namesake, the poet John Greenleaf Whittier—a fiery abolitionist—was vandalized with Black Lives Matter graffiti.
Not ongoing but that white guy John Brown buried near Lake Placid needs some BLM spraypaint.
There is a Stapleton neighborhood where the old airport used to be in Denver,CO. Named after this mayor of Denver:
“Benjamin Franklin Stapleton (November 12, 1869 – May 23, 1950) was the Mayor of Denver, Colorado, USA, for two periods (comprising five terms), the first from 1923 to 1931 and the second from 1935 to 1947. He also served as a member of the Ku Klux Klan and as the Democratic Colorado State Auditor from 1933 to 1935.”

He also did a lot of good as Mayor, more than just the airport.
He was a veteran of the Philippine Insurrection and along with some Spanish War veterans founded the VFW. He was a member of Post No. 1 in Denver.
But, don't confuse these woke people with any facts. I suppose they'll try to rename it Floyd.
I believe he was still a dem-o-rat.
IIRC, the Klan drew from both parties in this state. They arrived suddenly in the early 1920's and were gone by the end of the decade.
“before they became bat-sh!t crazy.”
I hear ya.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Enraged protesters were marching through D.C. toppling racist statues when they came upon one standing on a street corner. The archaic, racist statue looked very, very old. It even had some kind of obsolete soundbite-playing device in it, probably an early phonograph from how old the statue looked. It kept saying things about black people being clean and articulate and how poor kids are just as bright as white kids.

Publish a list of Obama statue locations please.
That's exactly what it is...and I'm damned well fed up with it.
I don't even turn on the TV any more...tired of hearing the crap about another "incident" offending someone, if not the BLM, then the LGBTABC what-the-hell-ever or some fake ass academic turd or some stupid politician.
I'm THIS close to going completely off the damned grid.
Another question to ask is what acts of racism by “non-white” people were publicized today?
The Mayor of Boston (IQ <70...former knuckle dragging union thug) just declared that a statue of Abraham Lincoln has to go.It’s racist,don’t you know.
Sacramento is taking down a statue of John Sutter but I don’t know if he was a democrat or not.
Hands off the lenin statue in seattle
