George Washington statue is hidden at the MLK rally in
Columbia, SC
The annual MLK observance at the state house in Columbia SC had an interesting twist this year. The event is held on the north side steps of the statehouse. Prominent at that location is a large bronze statue of George Washington. This year, the NAACP constructed a 'box' to conceal the Father of His Country from view so that participants would not be offended by his presence.

This rally was sponsored by the NAACP and they said that they covered the statue because they "didn't want to offend anyone". Really? George Washington is the father of this nation. How is he offensive to anyone?
Of course, this disgusting display of anti-Americanism wasn't covered at all by the national media and only the local paper in Columbia had a little piece on it. It has been covered a little by the blog-world and I think the word needs to get out to the general public that this is what the NAACP is all about..militant, hateful and racist.

If people are so concerned about "respect", where is the "respect" for the country where they were born, raised, live, work, and play? I don't see people making plans to move to a better place, so America must be "the better place."
ReplyDeleteOh Sissy, you're spot-on this morning! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! And you're right about it not getting covered by the msm outlets. Never in a million years would I have expected this. I'm certainly going to pass this around. The picture alone makes me shudder. Is this still my country?
ReplyDeleteThey didn't want to offend anyone? I guarantee you MLK would not only be offended but also ashamed at this blatant disrespect and racism by the NAACP.
