CHICAGO (CBS) — 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.

If we give in to them on Confederate memorial statues, their demands will never end until everyone who disagrees with liberals is rounded up, shipped off to "re-education camps" to be starved, beaten, tortured, and murdered. It's happened before. Don't think it can't happen here.

How many murdered on the south side this year, pastor?

Washington’s slave-ownership are not the root of your problems. But continue the deflection, your Democrat masters thank you.

Well, it is nice to know that the Pastor can tackle this issue after having solved that whole murder thingy.

I guess one doesn’t have to be intelligent to be a pastor.

Will the “pastor” stop accepting donations to his Church?
After all many American bills proudly display pictures of historic American slave owners.
I refer to George Washington, the ONE Dollar. Also Andrew Jackson who decorated the $20.00. And don’t forget, it was Abraham Lincoln, on the $5.00 whose election precipitated the most costly war in our history.
Although I write this in sarcasm, I worry that there are those who may actually think it is a good idea.

We are way past the tipping point.

I try hard not to watch the news and as of late when I’ve tuned in...I feel like I am watching and hearing events in a foreign land.

POTUS should announce the immediate de-funding of the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial, just to be consistent. Problem is the media would take him literally and wet their pants profusely. But this dripping-with-irony statement would resonate with the vast majority of thinking Americans who see the logical conclusion of this madness.

Here they come. Destroy American history, culture and identity and you destroy America. Anybody feeling a little weird about that?

Now Andrew Jackson, I can see them removing his statues. He had leather collars applied to all his slaves like they were dogs. Jackson LOVED slavery. Yeah, the most prominent DEMOCRAT was a slave-lover - in EVERY sense of the word.

On the other hand, George Washington did not like slavery. He did treat his slaves well. His houseman Juba is in the famous family portrait. Slavery was an inherited institution. Sort of like abortion is today. We can't just go into a Planned Parenthood clinic and shut it down.

The first draft of Jefferson writing the Declaration of Independence had a section where he wrote about slavery being an evil institution. It was removed because the goal of the Declaration was to separate from King George. Slavery was something that was so ingrained that it was going to need a Civil War and a Republican president to remove it from the land.

These people know so little of real history ...

I’m sure this “pastor” is as big a charlatan as MLK.

The behavior of your flock is so bad, pastor, that at some point in the future some attitude adjustments will need to be made with some familiar if unpleasant implements. A few statues are the least of your concerns.

Perhaps we should consult the good Rev. Wright.
