George Washington statue is hidden at the MLK rally in SC

You really have a hard time following discussions sometimes. Maybe because you are far too critical of others. One or two people in particular. I followed LJ's comment just fine but that may be cuz I new what she was referencing with her " " remarks.
If your clueless just say so or be quiet about it.

"The state chapter of the civil rights group claims it meant no disrespect and only covered up the statue to provide a more suitable backdrop for speakers at Monday's event."

"South Carolina NAACP director Dwight James told The State newspaper that his group was not trying to offend Washington's legacy."

Of course, when you cut and paste without reading the actual article, you run the risk of being made to look foolish by those whose words you took for the truth and posted without reading the article.

So with this rather generic explanation, I assume it would be OK with everyone if a group of tea partiers covered up a statue of MLK so they could have a more suitable backdrop for speakers? No one would call them racists, right?

BTW, I don't have a problem with the statue being covered. I think the explanation of Washington having owned slaves was a better one, though, not that it was the actual explanation.

I don't and wouldn't have a problem with it. It's a TV set, they put stuff up to look good on camera all of the time.
