Biden admin to remove statue of William Penn from Philadelphia Park and 'Rehabilitate' the park to commemorate Native Americans

I loved his oats. Why would someone want to do that to that poor man?

You would think that the blacks would appreciate his weave.

It would take a seriously fucked up person to think this serves any purpose whatsoever. And knowing Biden, he will probably suggest replacing old William with a statue of Elizabeth Warren. That'll make it better. We need to get back to MAGA before idiotic thinking like this becomes too commonplace.

Removing statues and the like that are reminders of this country's history doesn't remove the events that took place. The fools that believe they can erase the past will be the ones to repeat it. Count on it!

The statue is staying must be from people's power like us.
An interesting fact about the statue.

The Curse of Billy Penn is a sports-related curse, urban legend, and popular explanation for the failure of major Philadelphia professional sports teams to win championships following the March 1987 construction of the One Liberty Place skyscraper, which exceeded the height of William Penn’s statue atop Philadelphia City Hall1. The curse ended on October 29, 2008, when the Philadelphia Phillies won the 2008 World Series, a year and four months after a statuette of the William Penn figure atop City Hall was affixed to the final beam during the June 2007 topping-off of the Comcast Center, which made it the highest building structure in the city at the time1.
