Dus nu moeten ook standbeelden verdwijnen van mensen die helemaal niets met de VS te maken hebben gehad? Die gozer leefde 300 jaar voordat de VS uberhaupt bestond. Wat is de grens vraag ik me dan af? Gaan ze straks ook de naam Brooklyn afschaffen in NYC? Of Harlem? Greenwich, Wallstreet, Bowery? De WIC was namelijk ook niet helemaal fris.

Gebed zonder einde dit, Trump heeft helemaal gelijk.

Kansas City Confederate memorial to be moved after vandalism

The Missouri Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy asked Kansas City Parks and Recreation officials to remove the monument from its current location along of the city's main streets to a place of safety. That came after someone painted what appeared to be a red hammer and sickle on the "Loyal Women of the Old South" memorial late Friday or early Saturday.

Wall vandalized at MLK Memorial Gardens in Raleigh

A vandalized wall was discovered on Monday morning at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Park in Raleigh.

Around 9:30 a.m., crews began scrubbing away a message that was painted in white on the brick wall surrounding the gardens, at 1215 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

Crews said the message, which appeared to read, "Let his own words speak," seemed to promote King's legacy. Crews said three poster boards at the site also contained messages.

The statue and garden area at the park were not damaged.

Even though they support the message, nearby residents said they were upset a wall at the park had been vandalized.

"It's an unfortunate event to deface such an important figure's place," Adrian Powell said.

"I think it's wrong that they actually vandalized it," Felicia Watson said. It's just really ignorance. People are not really thinking."

Raleigh Police Chief Cassandra Deck-Brown said that, although the graffiti didn't appear to be racist, police were investigating the vandalism.

Jefferson Davis monument near Gold Canyon vandalized again

A state lawmaker and two other volunteers spent Monday morning cleaning red paint off the Jefferson Davis Highway moment after it was vandalized for the second time in a week.

Valley residents noticed that the monument was defaced with paint and notified the Department of Public Safety. Words written on the stone alluded to the KKK and had profanity across the base.

The monument, erected by the Daughters of the Confederacy in 1943 to mark the portion of U.S. 60 southeast of Apache Junction named in honor of Davis, is located in the far East Valley off U.S. 60 near Gold Canyon.

Rep. Kelly Townsend, R-Mesa, helped clean the monument along with two other area residents. Townsend said she was sent a picture of the monument Monday morning.

"(There was) an expletive 'F' America with 'KKK' in it," Townsend said. "And then someone else told me there was an Antifa symbol on it."

Antifa is shorthand for anti-fascists, and covers far-left-leaning militant groups that resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

Confederate monument at West Palm cemetery vandalized

The Confederate monument at Woodlawn Cemetery in West Palm Beach has been vandalized with red graffiti.

The spray paint, which was discovered Sunday afternoon, reads, “Antifa (expletive) Nazi and KKK.”

Antifa is a left-wing movement short for “anti-fascist.”

The side of the monument also has noticeable damage to the stone.

The paint on the front of the monument covers an etching of a Confederate flag.

The Woodlawn Cemetery statue was erected in 1941 by the Daughters of the Confederacy and is the only Confederate monument in Palm Beach County, according to local historians.

The cemetery is owned by the city of West Palm Beach but city officials have said in the past that the marker cannot be taken down because it is privately maintained.

These are the monuments vandalized after Charlottesville

People took to the streets last week as some cities across the United States removed their Confederate monuments, while others left them in place.

The debate over Confederate monuments has intensified since last weekend's violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, where white nationalist and other far-right groups protested the removal of a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Many public and private monuments have been vandalized following the clashes in Charlottesville. Here's a state-by-state breakdown.

Arizona
Jefferson Davis memorial

A plaque commemorating Jefferson Davis at a state highway west of Phoenix was tarred and covered in feathers, CNN affiliate KPHO reported.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety is investigating the incident.

Confederate Troops memorial

A memorial at the State Capitol in Phoenix was spray-painted. The memorial has been cleaned, but the investigation is ongoing.
Authorities are looking for a man in his 40s who was wearing a black hat and was last seen riding a bicycle in the area, said Kameron Lee, a spokesman with the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Florida
Confederate Memorial Park

A private memorial park outside Tampa has been vandalized. Its columns were painted red, and some derogatory comments were written around the memorial, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.
The park, which is on private property, has been funded through private donations since 2009, CNN affiliate WFTS reported.

Confederate monument

A Confederate monument has been vandalized in West Palm Beach, the police department tells CNN. Red graffiti was sprayed on the statue in Woodlawn Cemetery. Part of the statue, which depicts a Confederate flag, was damaged, according to CNN affiliate WPTV. Pieces of stone can be seen on the ground next it, according to the station. The monument is privately owned by the Daughters of the Confederacy and was put up in 1941, according to WPTV.

Georgia
Peace Monument

A statue in Atlanta's Piedmont Park depicts an angel holding an olive branch standing over a Confederate soldier with a rifle. It was dedicated in 1911 to commemorate post-war efforts to bring together the North and the South. It was defaced during demonstrations in support of the victim of the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, CNN affiliate WSB-TV reported.

Illinois
Bust of Abraham Lincoln

A bust of Abraham Lincoln in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood was set on fire and defaced late Wednesday, neighborhood representative Raymond Lopez said.
The bust was erected by Phil Bloomquist in 1926, when mostly German, Irish and Italian families lived in the neighborhood.
The bust has been a target for vandals for years, said Chicago police spokesman Jose Estrada, who couldn't confirm whether the damage was new.

Indiana
Confederate soldiers monument

A Confederate monument was vandalized in Garfield Park on the Southside of Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department tells CNN.
Police have arrested an individual in relation to the vandalism, police say. The man allegedly took a hammer to the monument, which is a burial marker for Confederate prisoners of war, according to CNN affiliate WISH.

Massachusetts
New England Holocaust Memorial

The New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston was vandalized on Monday. Witnesses told police they saw a man throwing what appeared to be a rock at the memorial, which is composed of six glass towers.
"Each of the panels is engraved with thousands of numbers representing the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazi regime," Suffolk County authorities said.
A 17-year-old from Malden, Massachusetts, was charged with disorderly conduct, malicious destruction of property over $250, and causing injury over $5,000 to a church, synagogue or memorial, Suffolk County officials said.

North Carolina
Confederate soldier statue

A statue of a Confederate soldier in downtown Winston-Salem was spray-painted, police said.
The base of the statue was defaced with graffiti, and black paint covered an inscription that reads, "Our Confederate Dead." The monument has been cleaned, CNN affiliate WGHP reported.

Confederate Soldiers Monument

The Confederate statue at the old County Courthouse in Durham was pulled down Monday during a protest to show solidarity with anti-racism activists. Eight people have been arrested. They face felony rioting charges and misdemeanor charges related to the damage, the Durham County Sheriff's Office said.
More arrests are expected, Durham County Sheriff Mike Andrews said.

Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee statue

The face of a statue adorning the entrance of Duke University's chapel in Durham was found vandalized early Thursday.
The chapel's facade includes the Robert E. Lee statue and nine other historical figures. It sits between figures of Thomas Jefferson and Sidney Lanier, a poet who served in the Confederate Army, CNN affiliate WTVD reported.
In light of the incident, Duke University President Vincent E. Price announced that he had authorized the statue's removal on Saturday while the university considers how to best preserve it. He said he made the decision to ensure the safety of those who worship in the chapel and "to express the deep and abiding values of our university."
The removal presents an opportunity for the school community to learn and heal, Price said in a statement. A commission will be created to determine how to "navigate the role of memory and history" and how to memorialize historic figures on campus, he said.

Pennsylvania
Frank Rizzo statue

A statue of Frank Rizzo, a former Philadelphia mayor and police chief, that sits outside a city government building in Philadelphia was spray-painted with the words, "Black Power," CNN affiliate WPVI reported.
The Philadelphia Police Department is investigating; no arrests have been made. The statue has been vandalized twice this week, WPVI reported.

Texas
Christopher Columbus statue

A statue of Christopher Columbus was vandalized in a Houston park late Thursday, the Houston Police Department said.
The statue, in Bell Park, was defaced with red paint, which dried by the time police arrived. It is unclear whether vandals thought the monument was a Confederate statue, said John Cannon, a police spokesman.
The Houston Police Department is investigating; there were no suspects as of Friday.

Virginia

Confederate soldiers statue

A statue honoring Confederate soldiers outside a courthouse in the town of Leesburg was spray-painted.
The statue was marked with graffiti, and obscene language was painted on its base, said Craig Troxell, a spokesman for the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office. The statue has been cleaned, and there was no permanent damage.
Video surveillance from a nearby street shows two possible suspects who are seen covering their heads as they walk near the courthouse at night. The sheriff's office posted the video. — (CNN)

Columbus statue in Baltimore vandalized

Baltimore’s 225-year-old monument to Christopher Columbus, said to be the oldest in the country and the world dedicated to the explorer that is still standing, has been severely vandalized.

A video posted today shows someone smashing the inscription at the base of the 44-foot-tall obelisk located at the intersection of Harford Road and Walther Avenue, across from Herring Run Park.

This morning the words on the statue – Sacred to the Memory of Chris. Columbus Oct. XII MDCC VIIIC – were unreadable, a hole smashed in the stone.

“Racism: Tear it down,” one sign leaning on the monument base says.
“The future is racial and economic justice,” said another sign that was lying in the grass.

MSESPN Pulls Asian Announcer Named Robert Lee Off UVa Game To Avoid Offending Idiots

In a story that seems made for The Onion, but is actually true, according to multiple Outkick fans inside ESPN MSESPN decided to pull an Asian college football announcer named Robert Lee off the William and Mary at University of Virginia college football game because they were concerned that having an ASIAN FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER NAMED ROBERT LEE would be offensive to some viewers.

UPDATE: ESPN ISSUES OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON MOVING ROBERT LEE FROM VIRGINIA GAME:

“We collectively made the decision with Robert to switch games as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name. In that moment it felt right to all parties. It’s a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play by play for a football game has become an issue.”
