In about 20 years it's gonna be "This [celebrity] walked into my house and didn't take his shoes off. Here is a photo proving it." And that will be enough to get people to take down pictures, stop playing their music/movies, etc. I think a slippery slope is unwarranted here, especially since John Wayne literally made actual racist statements and was a terrible human being in general. Why would you have someone like that on display as a statue? This case is pretty clear. It's not like the students are demanding that Ben Shapiro be blocked from a debate because they dislike his opinions or something. --- Do good. Eat communists. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think a slippery slope is unwarranted here, especially since John Wayne literally made actual racist statements and was a terrible human being in general. Why would you have someone like that on display as a statue? Deplatforming racist people, and removing their image from public view is a start. What people need to understand is that these changes may not be for us, but for future generations. Getting rid of it now may kneejerk people, but it's necessary for future children. If they grow up without racism or mentions of racism, maybe it will disappear. I notice it in my own son. He's 4, and we make sure to teach him that even though some people may look different, we are all people. There is no difference other than our appearance. When he speaks to people of varying races, he speaks exactly the same to them. It seems small, but I'm happy about that. Thankfully, even though I grew up in a southern area, my uncle (god rest his soul) spent a great deal of time with black people in his younger years. He spent a large portion of his young adult life in a mental hospital, and his care taker was a was a black man. He spoke highly of him and other black folks, and that made all the difference to my young/impressionable ears, as opposed to the usual "they are all N words" most kids grew up hearing in the south. This is a necessary change that needs to take place. Not just for us, for many of us are already stuck in our ways, but for those who are to come. --- Voted worst user on CE 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
