George Washington statue pulled down and American flag burned on top of it by BLM protesters
CNN commentator Angela Rye recently demanded the downing of all George Washington and Thomas Jefferson statues because they owned slaves."We need to call slave owners out for what they are.
One of those filming the scene, tweeting as @hungrybowtie, said: “About 50 people here, parts of the George Washington statue now read “Genocidal Colonist” “ACAB” “No Rest Till Abolition” “Slave Owner”.“They did it, they really did it. Sucks to be George Washington right now…” The famous college made the recommendation after an outcry over his links with Britain’s colonial past by Black Lives Matter protesters.Tens of thousands of Australians have recently taken part in protests calling for an end to Indigenous deaths in custody and highlighting racial inequality Down Under.
The officer has been fired and charged with second-degree murder, but protesters and activists around the world are pushing for deeper change.
