Take down Statue of Racist Planned Parenthood Sanger

Post by Techmomof2 »

The removal of Confederate statues around the United States has prompted a fiery debate.

On one side, many argue that the statues represent history and should be left where they are, lest we forget the significance of the era in which they were erected.

On the flip side, some argue that the statues are racist and have no place in modern society.

But why are proponents of the latter viewpoint only upset about certain statues and not others?

Why, for example, is the bust of racist Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger in the Smithsonian Museum not one of the statues progressives are freaking out about?

Yep. All statues of that evil bitch needs to be removed from public squares; or any place which takes federal money.

If liberals were intellectually honest (and of course we know they're not) they would calling for the removal of Robert Byrd's name from about 50 buildings in WV and about 20 highways.

IP should look up Trump's approval rating with the 74% of black babies in NYC which are murdered in the womb.
