A statue of Thomas Jefferson was yesterday removed from New York City’s City Hall via the back door after 187 years because workers complained the slave-owning third president made them uncomfortable.
The request for Jefferson’s statue removal came from the Commission on Racial Justice and Reconciliation, led by outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio’s wife Charlene McCray, after black staff complained about the statue that honors a slave owner.
City Council members intensified their calls to remove the Jefferson statue from City Hall in the summer of 2020 following the murder of George Floyd due to the former president’s racist past.
The third U.S president, who is famous for his words ‘all men are created equal,’ owned more than 600 slaves in his lifetime, Smithsonian.com reported.
Omg this shit just gets stupider and stupider by the day!!
I’m offended by the Harriet Tubman and George Floyd statues. I want them to be removed. Fat chance of that happening. That would be racist
I am offended by the Obama and Clinton statues. When are they going to remove them.
If Lady de Blasio is uncomfortable with it and wants it removed, then we must abide.
BULL
