This is stupid

And it won’t do a thing but cause more destruction. They appetite will never be fed. Churches, synagogues, courthouses, schools. Never appease terrorists.

HOW VERY SAD!! PLEASE TEAR DOWN ALL THE STATUES OF MLK, MALCOM X, ROSA PARKS. IF WE CAN'T HAVE THE PEOPLE THAT MADE IT WHAT IT IS WHY SHOULD WE GIVE THE ONES CREDIT FOR TEARING IT DOWN

Waste of time removing if Biden wins there will be new slavery within a year as all Americans will be kneeling to the Chinese, Iran,Russia. All these protesters will be building new Chinese statues of Xi Jinping

Yet race relations are worse than ever.

What did it achieve? Only destruction without elevating the lives of American. Minneapolis DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
