Honest Abe to get t he axe

[toomuchtime_]

Boston’s mayor is in favor of taking down a local statue of President Abraham Lincoln standing before a freed black man, after a petition was launched for its removal, his office says.

Mayor Marty Walsh’s office added that the pol wants a community discussion about its future and whether a new statue commemorating the end of slavery should be commissioned to take its place, according to the Boston Globe.

The controversial statue, situated in the city’s Park Square, is a replica of the Emancipation Memorial in Washington and shows Lincoln with one hand raised above a kneeling man with broken shackles on his wrists.

The monument was intended to show Lincoln freeing the man from slavery, but a new petition argues that it “instead represents us still beneath someone else.

It seems that freeing black people from slavery is just not enough to earn a white man respect from the liberals.

This reminds me of the short lived run of The Lizzie Borden musical (There WAS such a thing.) on Broadway. It was SO bad, that after just one week, it got the AXE!

Some people will always find something to bitch about, no matter how good things are,

They should replace it with a statue that doesn't have anyone overtly beholden to him.

When a well built steam engine starts to fail, it slowly pressurizes. The well built shell and insides can take a lot of stress. It just builds and builds and builds. One day it explodes in an awful mess, especially when tissue is involved.

And the people lived unhappily ever after......The End..................

Right, because the slaves freed themselves.

We are taking down statues of Abe Lincoln and at the same time protesting for, memorializing, and honoring black felons like Rayshard Brooks. A man who beat the shit out of his family, drove drunk, fought police officers, and fired a taser at them.

The left and black community is this country are absolutely fucking deranged.

People who bitch about everything seldom get heard. I hope you Dems. and BLM can understand that

Burn it all down. Just burn it all down. i don't care anymore.

So, I'm expecting a petition to do away with food stamps, section 8, WIC and TANF
Take care of your own responsibilities
Deal with the consequences of your choices
Get out from under us

Lincoln basically believed the black man was inferior to whites. His monument should be defaced and hammered down.
Lincoln must be punished for this. I'm ripping every 5 dollar bill I ever possess. That'll show em.

Edit....j/k......................However if we look at it from BLM's eyes. It is accurate.

Not to mention the pepperoni and black olives. Black Olives DO matter!

I can see where it can causes some sense of humiliation.
Perhaps we need a statue of George Washington stabbing a British patriot.
