“The Washington bust does not reflect me or my community, and considering y’all just approved to raise a BLM flag, and are currently voting during Black History Month…keeping the bust would kind of be tone deaf at this point. While Washington is considered to be a founding father this country was founded on geocide and white supremacy,” Anisa said.


Watsonville is the small central California coast city I live in. Very multi cultural history of Italians, Slovenians, Japanese, Okies and everyone else. Now it is 80% Mexican immigrant. Washington has to go but the Aztec dancers can perform at the local public schools

English on plaque: “This is a bust of the racist George Washington who owned slaves and started American imperialism that exploited workers across the globe.”

Spanish on plaque: “Lol. We make fun of stupid gringos by insulting their heroes, and they thank us. Viva la Mexico!”

Anissa doesn’t sound like a Mexican immigrant.

You forgot the Filipinos who were far more numerous then Mexicans in the 20’s-30’s.

Los Phony Indigeanos move into an area and start claiming the land as theirs when it never was.

‘’Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.’’

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”

Here's the (English) text of the plaque:

George Washington (Feb. 22, 1732 – Dec. 14, 1799) was an American political leader, military general, statesman, SLAVEHOLDER, and RACIST Founding Father who served as the first president of the United States, A NATION FOUNDED ON SLAVERY. Washington has been called the "Father of His IMPERIALIST Country" for his manifold leadership in the formative days of the new GENOCIDAL nation, WHICH IS INFERIOR TO ALL OTHER NATIONS.

High school senior: “So what did that guy Washington do, anyway?”
Friend: “I don’t know exactly but I heard he was a real racist.”

According to Calubaquib, 500 residents responded to that survey, and 733 non-residents responded — 59% felt the bust should remain in-place and 36% felt it should be removed.

Why should NON-RESIDENTS GET MORE INPUT THAN RESIDENTS?...............

They’re not “immigrants”

They are colonists.

They brought their culture with them. They refuse to assimilate. They demand the local culture cease and be replaced with theirs, their language, and their customs.

Colonists.

They will destroy the USA just like they destroyed the Aztecs and Incas.

I’m starting a new thing — “Microgalting”.

I always rub in that I could contribute to an effort, but am not. No more default altruism.

The destruction of our heritage and culture is bipartisan. Six months ago, Republican senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) proposed replacing Columbus Day with Juneteenth Day as a way to commemorate the ending of slavery.

“The nation’s first president held enslaved peoples from his birth to his death.”

Reporter is either a liar or a moron or both. Washington received slave as a wedding gift from his inlaws
