I really hope Chicagoans unite to stop this from happening:

Rahm Emanuel urged by Chicago pastor to remove George Washington statue, rename park over slavery - Washington Times

This is getting beyond ridiculous.
I doubt the mayor will cave into this demand, but liberals are known for doing crazy things.

Just as long as they also remove Martin Luther King statues because of his proud homophobia

And nothing will change and then, after they've thoroughly cleansed the country of all of these 'racist' statues, they will move on to destroying something else. Like locusts.

No name pastor that has no political power. Who cares, the guy has no clout.

Statue will remain, non issue, another lame attempt to deflect from Trump defending Nazis.

I'm all for keeping names and statues and flags and whatever else where it is....constant reminder of the truth about America's history.

And yet , you're quoting a conservative rag like the Washington Times...

Meanwhile, many conservatives seem to endorse the racial bigotry that's only growing under Trump...

If people are for the removal of Confederate Statues in the South, then why stop there? Let's removal anything honoring our Founding Fathers as well...And why stop there? Celebrating Columbus day is racist, as well as Thanksgiving; and as a matter of fact, America grew by mass genocide of the Native people, so we might as well give the country back to the Indigenous People.

The world has gone completely insane.

Statues of traitors of the US is a pretty strange thing to support. A statue of Washington is very different.
