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.

Members of the United States Supreme Court did it to unborn children.

#9: "Lenin did it. Stalin did it. Mao did it. Castro did it. Pol Pot did it. Now our "fellow Americans" do it."

This is barbarism.
