The Democratic-led council’s Cultural Affairs Committee is set to hold a public hearing Tuesday on a proposal to yank artworks from city property dedicated to historical figures such as George Washington, Peter Stuyvesant and Christopher

There are more than a half-dozen monuments on city property honoring slave-holder Washington, also America’s first president and revolutionary hero.
Peter Stuyvesant, a Dutch governor, early New York settler and a slaveholder, has a statue in Stuyvesant Park, and prestigious Stuyvesant High School is named after him.
All to be replaced by statues of George Floyd!
Someone ought to propose a statue of Joe Biden, the lover of immigrants - absurdity with absurdity.
Yet the highway that runs down the east side of NY chitty will remain the FDR Highway
Why not Joe and Hunter?
Doesn’t the nyc council have better things to do? The city is objecting to being overrun with illegal aliens.
Foreign sewage is taking over the government in this country. Hey America! What the hell you gonna do when all your history is garbage from Socialist sh*tholes that freeloading socialists ran away from to sneak into capitalist America? You can’t make much money living in Socialist sh*tholes like Mexico.
Don't be silly, statues of our Founding Fathers are waaayyyy more important. Don't you understand that they might offend someone?
They need to just skip all the next steps and start killing all white people.
That seems to be their end game - erasing all Caucasians.
and the people who want to tear them down most likely have a poster of che guevara on their wall!
All of this is the result of conservatives fleeing the cities for decades ago. We abandoned the cities and now those left simply want statues of people they care about put up, and we are not there to get a vote.
Erasing US history has been the end goal all along.
President Trump predicted this...

“Trump also questioned what monuments might be targeted next as protesters have called on cities to take down statues honoring Confederate figures.”
“Is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You have to ask yourself where does it stop?” Trump said.”

“A statue of Thomas Jefferson, the drafter of the Declaration of Independence and America’s third president, was removed from City Hall because he was a slaveholder.”
N N Taleb coined a phrase for this: Anachronistic Sanctimony; accusing ancient individuals or groups of violating today’s ethical norms; more generally flowing values, beliefs, and standards backward in time.
Yep.
And what they’re going to get - their greatest desire - is a White-free world.
What they don’t understand in their pea-sized brains is that the White World comes and goes with the White Race.
They deserve it.
They better be careful. Central Americans are in love with Christopher Columbus. They have big celebrations every year.
The linguist, Kamala Harris, comes from a long line of slaveholders. Will they also make sure her name and picture are removed from all government buildings and political posters?

― George Orwell, 1984
To the left “cultural affairs” is anti-white racism.
1984 was not meant to be a government handbook:
“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.”
Just another typical day in the United States of FUBAR
