I was reading about Stephen Foster and decided to look up his name and came across this article from 2017. They did remove the statue which I’m sure has completely eliminated racism forever.

Oh my, look how offensive it is. Mr. Foster is past the height limit when it comes to sitting next to a black man.

The left’s statue obsession is downright bizarre.

Billy Clanton: [as Doc Holliday is drunkenly playing a somber piece on the saloon piano, Clanton speaks, just as drunkenly] Is that “Old Dog Trey? Sounds like “Old Dog Trey.”
Doc Holliday: Pardon?
Billy Clanton: Stephen Foster. “Oh, Susannah”, “Camptown Races”. Stephen stinking Foster.
Doc Holliday: Ah, yes. Well, this happens to be a nocturne.
Billy Clanton: A which?
Doc Holliday: You know, Frederic f**king Chopin.

Why don’t they just take down all white statues, you know that’s what the left really wants anyway.

And put up some homoerotic phallic symbol that represents what they’re doing to this country.

“You should melt the metal part down and recoup a little bit of [money],” said the educator and veteran activist during the hour-long hearing.

Educator. Makes complete sense. Eff’n groomer.

“educator and veteran activist”

Damned commies have ruined this nation. What a useless human being. Completely useless to anything good or productive and turns his anger at being a useless garbage person in to destroying everything around him.

And in the meantime we have to look at statues and murals of criminal drug addicts.

When the Civil War broke out, Foster stood for the Union, not the Confederacy.

They should replace it with a statue that celebrates and embraces black culture. I suggest rapper Ice Spice. She was in a Dunkin Donuts commercial promoting a drink called Ice Spice Munchkin Crunch, after her song “Munch”. She looks like a high-class crack whore. Her songs are about “n*ggas” and genitalia and sex acts. She often twerks and fondles her crotch. If she’s good enough for Dunkin, she’s good enough for me, and certainly better than that old dead crackah Stephen Foster.

Consensus at meeting: Remove Stephen Foster statue

I'm sure everyone in attendance were Leftist activists.

Yes indeed. Remove/outlaw American history and invite in tens of millions of illegals.

We are such a cool country. What other nation in world history has voluntary and willingly and enthusiastically destroyed itself as quickly as possible.

The truth and reality is that the banjo playing “black” man sitting beneath Foster is appropriate and complementary, as it was from such persons Foster heard musical motifs that inspired quite a number of his works. How is that truth “racist”? It isn’t.
