Abraham Lincoln has a large throne for which he already sits. This is an offense statue and the fact that you stated "Remove the Slave" screams racist...

I planned to sign this until I saw your comment simply because I am white does not make me a racist. The ending to your comment is not better that any other racist out their, it was unnecessary, unwarranted and very much RACIST. Do I agree with this statue? No I do not! "No white man necessary" well you are no better than the others who spread their hate.

Remove that image of a smartly dressed white man towering over a Half naked black man on his knee.

Fredrick Douglass said it wasn’t right hundreds of years ago, it gotta go. We are sick of seeing images that remind us of slavery. We will never forget. We don’t need the reminder.

If someone kidnapped your child then sold them to slavery, where would you want the statue of them placed?
