As much as I think Henson and Welles deserve it, I'd rather they just avoid the entertainment industry.

Sports is entertainment and he's already mention Jackie Robinson. As long as these people truly innovated and/or are long passed, I'm fine.

Jim Henson deserves a spot IMO for innovating puppetry and animatronics, as well as just being a great human being who created a massive business in spite of his lack of caring about that. A pure creator through and through.

Same with Ray Harryhausen. Dude's a legend, and one of my heroes/people I look up to.

D. W. Griffith

I can already hear the twitter screeching.

But really I doubt the guy that made Birth of a Nation will ever be recognized for anything these days.

You know you went too far when r/politics is calling out your insanity.

@tehpope pretty much explained my logic with Henson. Robinson had an important role in desegregation, but his role was in entertainment. I'd also recommend Seymour Burr due to his very interesting story as a former slave turned yeoman farmer who fought in our Revolution.

Just imagining some future Dem president dedicating a bronze statue of Rosie O'Donnell.

Here's the first 30 people Trump wants to put in his National Garden.

• George Washington
• Thomas Jefferson
• Betsy Ross
• Alexander Hamilton
• Ben Franklin
• John Adams
• James Maidson
• Dolly Madison
• Frederick Douglass
• Abraham Lincoln
• Harriet Tubman
• Harriet Beecher Stowe
• Joshua Chamberlain
• Clara Barton
• Daniel Boon
• Davey Crocket
• Henry Clay
• Susan B Anthony
• Booker T Washingon
• The Wright Brothers
• Amelia Earhart
• Jackie Robinson
• George S Patton
• Douglas MacArthur
• Audie Murphy
• Billy Graham
• MLK
• Ronald Regan
• Christa McAuliffe
• Antonin Scalia

He's open for suggestions and said the public would be able to make some. I mentioned in the riot thread I'd like to see folks like D. W. Griffith and Orson Welles for their contribution to film. No one gives a fuck about Griffith but Welles' estate might bitch about it. Thinking about it more, Bob Dylan should be in there, for his contribution to Music.

Others in the thread mentioned Andrew Jackson, Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Henry Ford being missing too.

Give it to me straight Kiwis, how do you think the media will spin this monument? They're all racists, self hating, birthed an evil country?

Doesn't reflect modern diversity, where are the indians, where are the asians, where are the latino/a/x, why isn't the homeless crackwhore from the stonewall riots there, Howard Zinn style hypercritical disdain, etc.

Oh, I expect them to chimp that Reagan and Graham are in the list right now. Literal chimp, as in they need to get the stuffing beaten out of them by security since they tried to shove the statue over to shit on it level tard out.

For the men: White Racist Slave Owners (even though many in the latter half of the list existed after slavery).
The Women: Internalized Misogyny
Black People: uncle toms or internalized racism.

• Booker T Washingon

Based. Fuck Dubois.

Also Ford is problematic as all hell because of his outspoken antisemitism. This initial list is basically "all the people you can't criticize", and that means Ford is out.

Happy Independence Day!

Jesus Christ, the same thing showed up on my Facebook. What has been going on with the left as of late?

This was also why I recommended Jim Henson, since the most you can say about him was he was a workaholic who was bad at facing confrontation (he literally would just walk away after grunting since he never liked arguing) and expressing himself (he was noteworthy for just hmm'ing if he liked what you created, and he grunted if he thought it sucked).

Fred Rogers would've also been a good candidate, but I think Jim deserves a bit more credit.

WHERE IS TEDDY ROOSEVELT

Same with Lindbergh. Surprised Patton made it with his "fighting the wrong enemy" quote.

Jonas Salk is missing and should be included IMHO.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson was a terrible human being, the only way he gets a statue is if they explain how terrible he was.

Also

He is putting Regan in..and not Obama

 

[tehpope]

WHERE IS TEDDY ROOSEVELT

He's on Mount Rushmore.

 

[Super-Chevy454]

Based. Fuck Dubois.

Indeed, Dubois with his idealist view, well if we could call that idealistic, hurted more the blacks instead of helping them.

 

[Duine In Cudromach]

Florida is also ... Florida. So I'm not surprised either way.

It's also worth mentioning that the majority of new cases in Florida happened in Hillsborough county (where there was a spike in cases a few weeks after a riot peaceful protest, although I'm sure it's unrelated), and the Miami-Dade/Broward/Palm Beach counties.

Please note that those three counties are did not reopen with the rest of the state.

They have Dolly, but where's Billy?
