If the naming of the airport (which I find one of the easiest to get in and out of and love its close proximity to an Embassy Suites, which is great for family travel) is based on his work in film...I have no problem with it.

However, to be fair, the plaque on the statue should also, IMHO... include his racist/bigoted/xenophobic personal viewpoints.

Think of it as..."truth in advertising." :shrug:
The same should apply to Sen. Robert Byrd's statue in the senate halls...:shrug:

Fair enough.

Also for Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms? :ho:

As for those not in the halls, the list should start with George Wallace/Lester Maddox/Brigham Young/Rick Perry/Etc./Etc. :shrug:

Can you refer me to the sites where black woman and families are sad because they can’t pose for the roll of Aunt Jemima. I’m always looking for a funny story
