The assault on American history has taken new precedence thanks to the violent protesters named Antifa. They want to remove all references to objects and speech with which they disagree — and they’re getting some help from leftists across the country, including a pastor in Chicago, who wants to take down a statue of George Washington.
A Chicago pastor has asked the Emanuel administration to remove the names of two presidents who owned slaves from parks on the South Side, saying the city should not honor slave owners in black communities.
A bronze statue of George Washington on horseback stands at the corner of 51st and King Drive, at the northwest entrance to Washington Park.
Bishop James Dukes, pastor of Liberation Christian Center, said he wants the statue gone, and he wants George Washington’s name removed from the park.
“When I see that, I see a person who fought for the liberties, and I see people that fought for the justice and freedom of white America, because at that moment, we were still chattel slavery, and was three-fifths of humans,” he said. “Some people out here ask me, say ‘Well, you know, he taught his slaves to read.’ That’s almost sad; the equivalent of someone who kidnaps you, that you gave them something to eat.”
Dukes said, even though Washington was the nation’s first president and led the American army in the Revolutionary War, he’s no hero to the black community.
Rather than learn from the country’s past, the left would rather erase all recollection of history. Maybe that’s why they’re so against free speech — because they refuse to acknowledge the importance the Right was in the foundation of this country.
Or maybe they don’t like this country enough to care.
