TEAR DOWN PRESIDENT LINCOLN STATUE IN WASHINGTON DC
Hundreds of (mostly white) protesters have shown up.
Why? Because this statue honoring the signing of the emancipation proclamation is “racist.”
Where did the statue come from? It was paid for and erected by freed slaves.
Noted white supremacist Frederick Douglass was the keynote speaker at the dedication of this statue.
Bold is sarcasm
