So Foster's "old stomping ground" is somewhere in storage in his hometown of Pittsburgh because the Oakland neighborhood has too many SJW type lunatics who are offended by a statue and willing to vandalize it to make their point? Is that the lesson here?

What if the local white trash were to vandalize a statue of St. Martin Luther King, Jr.?

“The city plans to replace the statue with a memorial to black women”...of course.

Martin Luther King thought that homosexuality was a mental disorder (and said as much). So here’s a better question: What if the gays were to vandalize a statue of Martin Luther King?

Bring Stephen to Florida. Specifically, Suwannee County.

From the article: "...The statue had stirred controversy for years because it depicts Foster standing with a black man playing a banjo at his feet. Critics have described it as racist and demeaning to blacks. Others have argued that it depicts Foster gaining inspiration from a black musician..."

And then this: "...While some of Foster's songs contain graphic, derogatory depictions of slaves, he is credited with being among the first musicians to dignify and humanize blacks through his songs..."

We are indeed at war. The left, doing what it has done since time began, seeks domination by making their opponents "unpersons".

Lenin did it. Stalin did it. Mao did it. Castro did it. Pol Pot did it.

Now our "fellow Americans" do it.

While San Fran dedicated a terminal at the airport to pedophile Harvey Milk.
