Black Lives Matter thinks all statues are racist

Apparently, statues have incurred the wrath of the Black Lives Matter movement, regardless of who the statue represents. By our estimates, the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement has toppled and vandalized XX statues across the country.

Here is a list of nine prominent non-Confederate statues and memorials removed, toppled or vandalized (or both) thanks to Black Lives Matter:

  • Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States and Union general during the Civil War. It was vandalized and toppled in San Francisco’s Golden State Park on June 19.
  • George Washington, the first U.S. president, due to his slave ownership. It was toppled on June 18.
  • Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States and prominent conservationist. Its removal was announced by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (Democrat) from the New York City-based American Museum of Natural History on June 22.
  • Christopher Columbus, the explorer who discovered the Americas. The Columbus, Ohio mayor announced i8ts removal in front of city hall on June 18.
  • Matthias Baldwin, an abolitionist from Philadelphia in the early 1800s. The statue was vandalized and defaced by Black Lives Matter activists with the words “colonizer” and “murderer” on May 30.
  • The Robert Gould Shaw and 54 Regiment Memorial, which honors the sacrifices of African-American soldiers in the Civil War. It was defaced at its location in Boston, Massachusetts on May 31.
  • The Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial was vandalized on May 31, which memorial remembers three black men wrongly lynched in 1920 after being falsely accused of raping a white woman. The memorial is found in Duluth, Minnesota.
  • A sculpture remembering the Armenian genocide by Turkey was vandalized in Denver, Colo.
  • The Serve and Protect sculpture memorializing emergency responders in Salt Lake City, Utah was damaged by Black Lives Matter on May 31.

None of the nine statues have any link to the Confederate States of America and it exposed Black Lives Matters’ lack of historical insight, knowledge, and appreciation for historical context. In their vendetta to smash, deface and vandalize statues, Black Lives Matter did not fact check, verify, or research the figures that the statues represented.

Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter did go after Confederate statues and memorials dotted across the country. In one incident, rioters toppled a statue in Portsmouth, Virginia and the statue landed on the head of a man trying to direct people to clear from the area. Chris Green, a forty-six-year-old black man, flatlined twice on route to the hospital and was in a coma. He is recovering in a rehabilitation facility, having to relearn how to talk and to walk.

Black Lives Matter is an aggressive, violent, and destabilizing force meant to divide American society along racial lines. Toppling statues is only one part of its violent behavior, but its actions exposed the movement’s severe lack of historical knowledge and context nonetheless.
