Default Bold anti-racism move
Per today's Daily Sun, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has quit using Woodrow Wilson's desk.

Kudos to you, Phil. It's bold moves like yours that are going to stop global racism in its tracks.

If he really does stop using that desk I’d be shocked if global racism isn’t over by the end of the week.

I'm waiting for the end of the Jefferson-Jackson annual celebration by a certain political persuasion. After all, isn't it only fair that if you talk the talk, you walk the walk? I'm not holding my breath.

We would not be where we are as a country if it was not for the great men that founded our country and helped it on the path we went on.

Sorry they were not perfect but were a product of their times and think they did very well for later generations. There statues should stay where they were and be honored.

If you do not like the man feel free to walk around the statue and ignore it.

Almost as bold as storming a Nazi machine gun emplacement. I am impressed!

No it wasn’t
Laws need to be enforced
Mobs rioting are not peaceful protests
Law & order is governments only job

I agree. If he stops using the desk, racism will be over by Friday
