When is the big one going to finally make that state an island? It seems it can’t get here fast enough.

THe criticism wasn’t that it was offensive. It was racist and degrading.

The issue seems to arise from the White settler standing over a dead Indian and the slaves working MV.

also someone needs to explain why it would cost $600k to paint over this?


Probably has lead in the paint but that's ridiculously high.

At some point every street in our country will be a number or a tree and someone, somehow will find some of those names offensive.

Mark Sanchez, vice president of the school board and a third-grade teacher, said students who must walk past the mural during the school day don't have a choice about seeing the harmful images.

The Nazis were pretty big in destroying art they didn’t like either. So I guess we can add this to the long and growing list of how Progressives are pretty much exactly like Nazis
