The problem appears to be that he has an indian chief and a black man on either side of him.

I'm sure the fact he was a Republican wasn't a factor. Or a police commissioner. And then there's the attack on hispanics on Kettle/San Juan Hill. With Buffalo Soldiers on his flank I believe, but that counts for nothing.

They need to remove the statue of “The Thinker” as it is offensive to those who cannot think. (Because they are stupid)

Of all the movies made obsolete by political correctness, I wouldn’t have put “Night at the Museum” on that list.

We need a museum of all the statues that were removed or destroyed.

The History Removal Museum.

Sort of like when comedian Steven Wright said he went to a museum that had all the arms and legs missing from the statues in all the other museums.

I’ve been expecting this for a long time. During my last visit to NYC and the museum, perhaps 15 years ago, I asked my wife how long it would remain. It took a while to look over the statue. She expressed surprise that it was still there.

I’d just use a sawzall and cut away the Indian and negro, leaving Ted all by himself.

They need to remove the statue of “The Thinker” as it is offensive to LIBERAL DEMOCRATS who cannot think.

There are still multiple rooms in the Museum that are named after him. They are not being renamed, just the status being removed.

Apparently the Racists on the left believe that we Can’t show different races in close proximity to each other, getting along- that would be ‘racist’ or something-

More likely they’d cut TR out and leave the indian and black.

“The problem appears to be that he has an indian chief and a black man on either side of him.”

I guess it is not possible to just remove the two people on either side?

A few blows from a sledge hammer and the Indian and the Negro problem would be permanently solved, keeping the Roosevelt statue, and four ankles and feet along side.

This sickens me. Teddy took a lot of criticism at the time by making peace with defeated Indian chiefs and ensuring that Black Americans could exercise their rights insofar as the nasty Democrat governors in the south and otherwise embedded into government wouldn’t obstruct. IOW, he was exactly the opposite of how the idiot mayor of New York is trying to paint him and the artist of this statue was celebrating that achievement.

Removing history for a few malcontents is cowardly of those in charge. This was (just a few years ago) how very sad to see Americans buckle under bullies like antifa and blm.

Not playing heir game.....

The problem is he was white.

Let’s call it what it is, a war on white men.

“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.”

George Orwell "1984"
