How ironic. They want to expunge one of the founders of progressivism - the basis for their beliefs.
The whole purpose is to expunge all white people from history, regardless if they helped the progressive cause or not.
I remember one time, a New Black Panther was being stridently anti-white on Hannity and Colmes, and Alan Colmes took issue with “Quantelle X”, who said, “All white people are snakes.”
Alan challenged him: “Even me? Guys like me that are on your side?”
Quantelle X responded: “Yes. Even you. You are a snake too. But remember, not all snakes are poisonous.”
White is the New N*gger.
