Protesters demand Teddy Roosevelt statue be taken down.
Hundreds of activists gathered at the American Museum of Natural History on Monday to take down the “racist” statue of Theodore Roosevelt and an urgent call to rename Columbus Day.
More than 200 people cheered outside the museum as activists covered the statue of Roosevelt on horseback flanked by an African American and Native American on either side and demanded it be ultimately removed.
“A stark embodiment of the white supremacy that Roosevelt himself espoused and promoted,” the group explained in a statement. “The statue is seen as an affront to all who pass it on entering the museum, but especially to African and Native Americans.”
more moments of contentiousness where our president affords himself well with the savage press.

President Trump asked today “where will it stop?”
Note to the President & the World: it won’t stop! not until they take over … EVERYTHING … EVERYWHERE!
How he does this without his head exploding is beyond me. They are the enemy of us all.
Funny story: I’m Black, White and Native American. I’m fine with the statues. Also, the left can kiss my entire ass.
Communist Taliban never stop. Like cancer cells.
Replace all these odious statues with ones more suitable.
Of me for example. Burr never owned slaves. Burr fought for the right of women to vote…
He probably did some other awesome stuff too. I mean it stands to reason.
I should probably look him up sometime.
Yeah, well, some woman must have made Burr a sammich once. MISOGYNIST!
We should build a huge statue of Obama in D.C…..out of C4.
MJA, sounds like you have a Neapolitan ass.
Misogynist? No, no, I’m an air sign. I don’t do the Chinese zodiac.
Aaaand now I want ice cream.
Lincoln hated blacks, he just did what was politically expedient and threw away the Constitution while doing it. Still…I don’t want his memorial torn down. The only perfect man to walk this earth was Jesus and I know they won’t replace the statues with Him.
@Aaron Burr – Are you getting “misogynist” mixed up with “Sino gymnast” atain?
Oops. …again…
Malditos dedos.
Mr. Trump is the greatest president ever!
Can you imagine the hand wringing if President Trump never ran and Jeb (by virtue of Hilary dying) became President?
His apologies would come faster than 20mm rounds out the front end of a Warthog.
I say again,
Mr. Trump is the greatest president ever!
All the rest are number two or lower!
@Aaron Burr – Yes, a high point in the life of your namesake was being tried for treason and being acquitted. Not many were so successful. But all that pales beside the pinnacle achievement of killing that villain Alex Hamilton. Well done!
@Corky – I don’t want Lincoln’s memorial taken down, either, but I would like to see the fasces in his chair painted red, white, and blue.
I dindu nuffin. Hamilton killed himself after reading a bunch of scathing facebook posts.
Never trust a Presbyterian.
Give an inch and they’ll take a mile. Always. Globalists took down all the sovereign European countries this way without a shot fired in protest.
This latest gripe about so-called “White Supremacy” and the oppression caused to so-called “People of Color” (more like Children of the Corn) has already gone too far. I sincerely hope and pray that the DoJ in its investigations have an honest-to-goodness conservative leading them and will work hard to get to the bottom of who is providing all the money, signs, buses, costumes, etc. to whom and they will be outed as the subversives they are.
It may seem funny and ridiculous now, but these kooks are deadly serious. God knows how many iconic American features will be sacrificed at the altar of Cultural Marxism. And since most of the cities are run by the Left, we can kiss any shred of history and place good-bye.
Other statues, memorials or structures that should be removed or renamed:
Woodrow Wilson – progressive and out and out racist.
Abraham Lincoln – the Emancipation Proclamation only applied to slaves in rebel states. It did not free slaves in Kentucky, Missouri, Delaware, Maryland, Tennessee, parts of Louisiana or what later became West Virginia.
Has our wheat supply been contaminated nation wide with Ergot? That would explain a lot.
“I, Tricky Dick, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”
Took it in 1979 and still hold to it. I’m ready to die for it. Are you traitorous antifa morons?
Tricky I took that same path several times myself. Never been released from it.
It’s really nice seeing Trump just spank their asses.
^this
Also, why should we care about 300-ish whiny communists? The mass majority of this nation, even liberals, think that they’re NUTS.
If that is what they want…start with all monuments to Democrats.
Democrats lynched blacks right up to the 1960’s.
The Confederates were Democrats.
Democrats after the civil war created segregation, formalized the KKK, created Jim Crow laws and voted against Civil Rights Law.
Hell, even 0bama sold out. Black unemployment was at a all time high under 0bama.
Tear down the Democrat monuments, first!
