bonnie Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 bcfoley.blogspot.com THIS IS INTERESTING AND SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T AND WON'T SEE ON THE EVENING NEWS. 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 our country from view so that participants would not be 'offended' by his presence. The MLK Day rally in Columbia, South Carolina. This rally was sponsored by the NAACP (National Association of Colored People) 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? Can you imagine what would happen if we covered the statue of Dr. Martin L. King on President's Day? or is only the statue of a 'white guy' offensive? Of course, this display of anti-Americanism wasn't covered at all by the national media (surprise, surprise!!), and the local paper in Columbia only ran a short piece on it. It has been covered a little by the blog-world but I think the word needs to get out to the general public that this is what the NAACP is all about...militant and (most definately) racist. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this. Quotes by Susan Gottesman
