Since we are removing racist monuments and statues, you better bring down the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and Museum.

Woodrow Wilson was extremely racist — even by the standards of his time

Outright dismissals were also common. Upon taking office, Wilson himself fired 15 out of 17 black supervisors in the federal service and replaced them with white people. After the Treasury and Post Office began segregating, many black workers were let go. The head of the Internal Revenue division in Georgia fired all his black employees, saying, "There are no government positions for Negroes in the South. A Negro's place in the corn field." To enable hiring discrimination going forward, in 1914 the federal government began requiring photographs on job applications.

Wilson himself was the descendant of Confederate soldiers, and identified deeply with the "Lost Cause" narrative, according to which the Confederacy was a government of noble men trying to preserve a decent agrarian way of life against crude Northern industrialists, rather than a separatist movement premised on white supremacy.

The only President to view "A Birth of a Nation" a movie dedicated to the Ku Klux Klan.



So liberals, tear down the Confederates but you damn well better burn the Woodrow Wilson Museum and destroy the Woodrow Wilson bridge that 10s of thousands of black "folk" drive over every day, without a clue how racist the son of a bitch was.

Nah...they will just name it after some groid. The Jimmy 'JJ' Walker Memorial Bridge...or after someone more professional and 'learned' in their community The Julius 'Dr J' Erving Memorial Bridge...

By the same token they'd have to expunge all mention of that racist POS fdr.

I see where you're coming from but let's be frank and speak freely, ok? Racism is bad just like the United States of America is not a systemically racist country in any form. However, and that being said, if I wanted to be a racist who said racist things but harmed no one and incited no violence against anyone, then goddammit that'd be my right as an American Citizen. No one is fucking obligated to like anyone else. All we're obligated to do as responsible, law-abiding citizens is to not fucking attack or kill anyone or everyone else we meet on a daily basis. Seems we as a nation have forgotten the importance of free thought, free opinions and of course, free speech.

He was a Dimocrap. Even though Wilson was likely the most racist President in American history, according to BLM and the media only Republicans can be racist. Sorry.
