CNN Suggests That Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC Needs to be Torn Down Because: SLAVERY!

CNN hosts Ashleigh Banfield are now saying that the memorial near the National Mall in Washington DC that was erected to our third president, Thomas Jefferson, needs to be torn down because Jefferson was a slave owner.

The left’s purging of American history continues this week with CNN now endorsing the razing of the Jefferson Memorial in D.C.

Banfield: Thomas Jefferson owned slaves–Third president of the United States–and there is a monument to him in the capital city of the United States. No one ever asks for that to come down? Is it equal?

Interestingly, CNN’s resident racebaiter didn’t go for Banfield’s attempt to eliminate Thomas Jefferson from our history. He did say, though, that if there comes a time when we should discuss purging Jefferson from out history, he’s willing to engage in that discussion. So, he wasn’t 100% opposed to the purging of Jefferson. He just didn’t think now was the time.

But this is where it goes, folks. Once the left is allowed to start purging history they won’t stop.

Beyond ridiculous to the totally absurd! Was hoping this whole flag thing was just a bad trip and hangover, but sadly it appears to be our current reality. The US has gone completely mad!

Did you bother to read the transcript of that conversation? Nowhere was it suggested that those monuments need to be taken down.

It starts to become clear how your views form, if this is what you consider to be news.

ISIS destroys World Heritage sites and everyone is outraged. In comparison, our own citizens are actually suggesting destroying our own historical sites because some idiot off his meds showed a flag in a racial rant and killed 9 people in a church. It's totally incomprehensible how the liberal media and race-baiting groups have twisted this.

All right… who dropped the brown acid in the Nation's water supply?

Regardless about the transcript, the left is going wild with ideas about removing memorials and monuments. So much so it's like pouring gasoline on a fire.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they're also thinking about desacrating graves . . .

Which, by the way, union troops did 2 miles from my house, when they came to town.

I didn't read the entire transcript, but the topic shouldn't have even be part of the discussion. To take it to that extreme, even jokingly, shows the pure absurdity of the whole flag discussion.

The online petition to remove the Washington Monument is real, although there does appear to be some sarcasm involved.

Well then, we must eliminate George Washington as well.

It might just be a easier if we just blinded everyone, that way we could not see color and be reminded of slavery. Sarcasm

It wasn't a joke, it wasn't a suggestion, it wasn't anything. The petition is likely started by someone who wants to make you think the left is trying to do this. Probably the same "news" site that is telling you something completely different than what is said.

Before this flag fiasco began, there was already talk of changing the $10 bill and removing Alexander Hamilton in 2020.
http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/17/news/economy/woman-on-ten-dollar-bill/

Alexander Hamilton (January 11, 1755 or 1757 – July 12, 1804) was a founding father of the United States, chief staff aide to General George Washington, one of the most influential interpreters and promoters of the U.S. Constitution, the founder of the nation's financial system, and the founder of the Federalist Party, the world's first voter-based political party. {wiki reference}

Yes. Women on 20's held a contest for names, sponsored by the Treasury.

Wilma Mankiller was a leading candidate.
