A Chicago pastor has asked the Emanuel administration to remove the names of two presidents who owned slaves from parks on the South Side, saying the city should not honor slave owners in black communities.
A bronze statue of George Washington on horseback stands at the corner of 51st and King Drive, at the northwest entrance to Washington Park.
Bishop James Dukes, pastor of Liberation Christian Center, said he wants the statue gone, and he wants George Washington’s name removed from the park.

Tucker Carlson asked his guest last night...
How about removing Robert Byrd’s name from Post Offices?
Her reply... In time
This is just the beginning folks. At some point they will start demanding the removal of white people.
What’s going to happen when people start destroying black monuments? where does they escalate to, next?
CBS radio featured an interview with this Towering Intellect.
You could understand maybe every third or fourth word.
Watching the country die by a 1000 cuts is agonizing. We are helpless unless we push back hard but we won’t. Most Americans are too busy working their butts off to stay afloat. The left has nothing to lose and everything to gain. We knew the left would come back with a vengeance and it comes via our flank. We have not seen anything yet.
Pastor Wants Presidents’ Names Removed From Washington, Jackson Parks Over Ties To Slavery
So I suppose this racist would prefer Treyvon Dr.
Put a statue of Booker T. Washington in the park. Continue to call it Washington Park, but people offended by George Washington can think of it as Booker T. Washington Park.
We should also remove the names of those who beat their wives, beat their kids, beat their horses, kicked their dogs, drank, took drugs, cursed, had sex outside marriage (especially with interns), ever had a traffic ticket, made prank phone calls, ever told a lie or chopped down cherry trees and were just plain disagreeable.
Thankfully, America was founded upon Islamic ideals. /s
Lincoln is getting bad press this morning. Perhaps demote him to the $1000 bill. This is the perfect time to eliminate the penny killing two birds with one stone. Heck, might as well eliminate all currency and go with implants. Or would that cause a rise in chopped off hands?
Here is one Civil War leaders view on race, as expressed in a public debate.
“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing
about in any way the social and political equality of the white and
black races, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of
making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold
office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition
to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black
races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together
on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot
so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of
superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of
having the superior position assigned to the white race.” - Abraham Lincoln in his 4th debate with Douglas
They should rename Lincoln Park!!
Oops. Can’t have that. George Orwell was white.
I’ll chip in for a couple of one way tickets back to Africa.
The only honest thing Whoopi has ever said was that she’s glad she’s here instead of Africa. She saw too much on a trip there and that blacks are still selling slaves (uh, hello!).
The ugly zealotry of revisionists reject truth for hate filled opinion. History is not a blank canvas upon which we paint our Utopian vision. It is a tapestry of good and bad, failure and victory, which defines who we are.
When we deny the sin in our history we cut off our nose and lose the ability to smell the stink of our own rancid actions.
Confusion abounds. The attempt to eradicate history is riddled with bodies.
The fools who deem their desecrations morally imperative have no inkling of the horrors they unlease. Their own precious icons will be next on the chopping block.
One cannot erase history and denegrate ancient heroes without consequence. The price for these atrocities is to repeat them endlessly.
on the other hand, I’m offended by all the MLk Jr streets
The signs must come down. He is racist by definition
Boring in the sense that the media is pounding on a topic 9 out of 10 Americans just don’t care about — statues!!!
The ethnic cleansing part is so alarming I am nearly in denial.
I guess Germany should bulldoze Auschwitz and Bittburg Cemetery while they are at it?
Not so much the chopped off hands as the Michael Jackson Ferriday glove look would be the norm.
You take the Washingtons, I’ll take the Jeffersons and Franklins ...
