presidential descendant Theodore Roosevelt V said that the “statue is problematic in its hierarchical depiction of its subjects and should be removed from New York State’s official memorial to Theodore Roosevelt.”
So he used the same exact terminology and descriptive words as the SJW communist activists?

Sure, Jan. Wow, what a sellout puppet? Still not as much of a flake as Eisenhower's descendants, though.

The counsel culture left crazies are getting very close to describing themselves. Actually, i think they have successfully done so. How do we begin their relocation process?

No one is stopping liberals if they want to give their land to the people they colonized.

Consent? So people would round the corner, see the statue and hyperventilate? Pass out? Scream in agony? WTF does “context and consent” even mean here?

statue is problematic in its composition. Moreover, its current location denies passersby consent


Sigh…

The people that worried need a real job and to contribute to society .

Also, everyone’s too busy staring into their phones 24/7. And Americans are so dumb they probably don’t even know who the statue is of

Remember when Art was offensive to conservatives and the left called us morons because we didn't understand Art and that it was supposed to be offensive?

I remember.

White knighting against his own. Does he not know they are coming for him too.

TR was Governor of New York. That’s your context for why there’s a statue of him at a place in New York. And he was the most important natural history President we’ve had. What a weak excuse.

As a handicapped man I am offended by every single statue of an able-bodied man. It makes me feel bad so take every statue down. Especially any of George Floyd since he was an athlete. That one makes me feel particularly bad and offended. /sarc

Interesting that both the black and Indian gentlemen are carrying weapons. I wonder what Fraser was actually trying to convey.

Found it:
quote:

“The two figures at [Roosevelt’s] side are guides symbolizing the continents of Africa and America, and if you choose may stand for Roosevelt’s friendliness to all races.” —Sculptor James Earle Fraser, 1940

Imagine in the not-too-distant future having to leave the cultural Mecca of New York and travel to middle America to view art. (Hunter Biden’s stuff doesn’t count.)

Now they are taking statues out of HISTORY MUSEUMS. When the Bolsheviks first started taking down Confederate statues/flags they said: They should be removed and placed in MUSEUMS where they belong. Well what do you know?

Imagine actually being a proponent of this sort of bizarre dismantling of our very civilization.

Trump called this and was ridiculed for it. A LOT of people saw it coming, here and elsewhere, but he had the public platform and the left and moderates thought he was being silly.
