San Fran to remove a 'racist' statue...can America complain when Isis does the same? (drug, nationalist)

[slackercruster]

The city of San Francisco is joining the cause of removing old statues that are out of step with contemporary political and cultural tastes.

The sculpture "Early Days" sits near San Francisco's City Hall. It depicts a Sir Francis Drake and Catholic missionary Junipero Serra standing over a sitting Native American.

The city's Arts Commission voted unanimously Monday to remove the statue, amid cheers from the audience. The move that had been discussed for decades, but it gained a new momentum late last year after the removal of a Confederate statue in Charlottesville, Va., prompted street demonstrations by supporters and opponents.

"It definitely feels like a long time coming," said Barbara Mumby as quoted by the Associated Press. Mumby is an arts commission employee who is descended from Native tribes in California and New York. "I think some people may not understand how big of a symbol it is to be able to take this down."

With the liberals new found purpose of erasing history one statue at a time. Does America have the right to complain when Isis destroys art / history that it considers to be offensive?

Sure, take down the statue that commemorates a white european missionary administering to a sick Indian.

The message is yah, we no longer owe them Noble Savages any compassionate treatment or assistance.

So I guess we can proceed to dismantling the Bureau of Indian Affairs and its Native Health Service and saving the $10B/year we spend on them, right?

They're just repudiating and removing all white identity and increasing racism that's all.

Guess it all comes down to how "you" tolerate or don't tolerate history. Not exactly something you can change no matter how much you rant or rave.

Yah, Im hoping one of Kim Jong Uns pathetic little nukes might make its way there and hopefully have enough power to wipe the place off the map. Not exactly the iron rod or burning sulphur that levelled Sodom and Gomorrah, but whatever does the trick, right?

Its always refreshing seeing how some people value their fellow citizens.

Yeah, it's like anybody who is not a white heterosexual Southern fundamentalist Baptist is no longer welcome in this country.

Just watch, they will want to start changing the religious names of their cities in the near future.

Will something go up in the statue's place or will it be another place for homeless people to take a dump?

Let's check if there some statues of Lenin here and there besides the one in Seattle? I don't ask to remove it, it's just to have fun to throw some toilet paper on it. It's more funny than removing it.
