    Not sure why it is controversial after 141 years.

    Talk about biting the hand that freed you !

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wc...ham-lincoln-statue-calls-for-removal/32860548

    Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is a cowardly ex drunk mayor who panders to the left on every chance he gets, because he does not
    Have the balls to stand up to them.

    He would rather remove the Lincoln statue after 141 years than say no to the blacks.

    If it wasn’t for Lincoln, I probably wouldn’t have to mow my lawn.

    MLK was a homophobic abuser of women, when will the left get around to tearing down his statues?

    So Lincoln is the only reason you would not have slaves? Nothing else?

    All you need to know is in this quote:

    So we should remove a status of the man who fought and literally died so you could be free......but we should take it down because of one mans “interpretation”?

    I weep for this country

    I agree. Allowing a few to destroy American history is bullshit. What's good for the goose.....

    Screw these people. They are not going to be happy until there is nothing but black statues up with only black people wealthy and white people in chains. **** them. I have no more sympathy for all these losers that blame everyone but themselves for their failure.

    I agree, screw them. If anything, all this stuff about everything being racist with blacks being the only perfect people is not endearing me to their cause, in fact, it's having the opposite effect.

    The only solution to this problem is to tear down every single statue, then we can move to monument and then plaques. We can rename every school A, B, C or 1,2,3 etc and street names should be all numbers. Even running east and west, odd north and south.

    Big cities can have 1A, 1B and so on.,Even 1 AA, 1 AAA, 1 AAAA etc. Problem solved.

    A statue of a slave kneeling below a standing Lincoln may have been a real Newt deal in 1879 but it looks rather dumb these days. Perceptions change. Think about it people. It may have been appropriate 150 years ago to beat the crap out of homosexuals just because they were homosexuals but today that is not so popular.

    Then join the other snowflakes and close your eyes when you pass something that offends you.

    American history! Did slaves kneel before Lincoln? Of course freed slaves were happy to gain their freedom but why not depict freed slaves standing proudly on two feet like humans rather than on the ground as if they were dogs.

    Slavery still exists in Africa. Because that's racist, should we ban all African art that seems to be so desirable and should we put an end to African studies courses/majors in college?

    If that is the issue, remove the slave & leave Lincoln alone.

    The slave was thanking Lincoln.
    Blacks don’t thank anyone anymore. They just demand things & liberals jump through hoops for them.

    Consider the kneeling within context.

    He is the fool that started the ball rolling.

    Just remove the slave & give him to Tory.

    Nobody cares about the slave anyways.
    It is a Lincoln statue, the slave is irrelevant.
