Should the TSBD be demolished?

Ugh.  Again, while I was praising LBJ you posted this:  "He viciously attacks every Democratic President'.  Unreal.  And you take issue with me criticizing JFK while you defend Oswald who murdered him?  That is tin foil hat stuff.

 

You gave a lukewarm response about LBJ.

Where am I defending Oswald?

Youthful antics?  Trudeau was almost 30 when he did this.  Wow that's a lame defense from someone who is so concerned with racism. It makes me wonder if it is politics rather than racism that dictates your opinions.  Trudeau is a spoiled, elitist racist of the first order.  He wore blackface on more than one occasion.  Imagine the hue and cry if Trump had done that?  But that's fine because Trudeau is a liberal woke.  Nothing to see there.  Canadians need to concern themselves with America instead of their own racist guy.  BTW.  How many African-Americans are leaving "racist" America for your socialist utopia?  What percentage of the Canadian population is black?  Do they call it the Great White North for a reason?  Maybe ask Trudeau when he finishes singing "Ol' Man River" at his next frat party.

Jerry you are a good guy.  I actually like you despite your politics.  But it is a falsehood to suggest that Trudeau didn't dress in blackface.  There is a video of of him in blackface with an afro sticking his tongue out.  Trudeau has admitted that he did so.  Why not condemn this and ask for him to resign if racism instead of political affiliation is the determinative factor? 

 

So, you want to dig up an incident from 20 years ago when Trudeau wasn't even a leader, wanting him to resign now, but say nothing when your current GOP officials are being racist at this very minute. Pathetic!

You missed out an important word in your reply to Rick's post, Richard.

"And you take issue with me criticising JFK while you defended  Owald  who "ALLEGEDLY"  murdered him."


Just to remind you, Oswald  was never tried for the crime,  no matter what you say.

I think it's just such a ridiculous concept that people aren't even bothering to entertain the idea.

You're suggesting demolishing a huge 8 floor building in Dallas which takes up approximately 80,000 feet of floor area and replacing it with a single statue of a man who was murdered 1000 miles away. I just don't see the link or the argument behind it. What are you hoping this will achieve?

I don't get the logic of destroying something so strongly linked with the assassination of JFK in order to replace it with a memorial of the George Floyd murder that happened well over half a decade century later. What's the link between the two? Just because JFK campaigned for civil rights?

Abraham Lincoln called for the abolishment of slavery so would you also suggest demolishing Ford Theatre and replacing that with a statue of George Floyd too?

Ridiculous concept. Erect a statue of George Floyd if you feel the need by all means, but to destroy such a significant part of American history to do so when there are millions of other locations to put it is just absurd.

George Floyd died a half a decade after JFK?

George Floyd died a half a decade after JFK?

Hah! Was meant to put Century (though "Well over half a decade" is technically still true as well as it was indeed "well over" 5 years but you know what I meant). But other than that obvious typo, the rest of post still stands

George Floyd died a half a decade after JFK?

FFS: He means half a century.
