Who is buried at the American disobedience masquerade? - Igor Yudkevich

Until recently, Donald Trump's assurances that after the Confederate statues, the monuments of the founding fathers of the United States will be sprinkled, seemed to be empty exaggerations. Now these words turn out to be a reality, and what kind of in Portland protesters frightened the statue of George Washington with the inscriptions Genocide Colonists, Damn Cops and Big Floyd, wrapped the American flag, set fire and threw the ground. In New York, the speaker of the city council, with the support of like-minded people, appealed to the mayor of the city with a request to remove the statue of Jefferson from the city council building. As stated in their letter, this statue serves as a constant reminder of the injustice that crushed the black population. A statue of President Grant, who led the Union army during the Civil War, was thrown in San Francisco: the police knew that the crowd had started, but did not arrest anyone. Even the statue of Francis Key, the author of the text of the American anthem, did not please the pogroms.
