Racist Fish: Not Even Mermaids Are Safe from the Anti-Statue Mob

As left-wing protests sweep across the globe, the perpetrators behind the unrest appear to have lost their grip on reality.
Nowhere is this clearer than in Copenhagen, Denmark, where a statue of the Little Mermaid was defaced earlier this month with graffiti reading “Racist Fish.”
A Copenhagen police spokesman told Sky News that “we consider it vandalism and have started an investigation,” and the outlet reported July 3 that “no one has come forward to claim responsibility for defacing the famous landmark.”
Hans Christian Andersen wrote “The Little Mermaid,” which tells the tale of a mermaid sea princess who wants to become human after she falls in love with a human prince, in 1837. The vandalized statue was put up approximately a century ago.
An animated movie based on the fairy tale was released in 1989, and a live-action remake starring African-American actress and singer Halle Bailey as the Little Mermaid character is coming out in the near future.
One would think that should be enough to squash the “racism” narrative.
But it apparently wasn’t.
Ane Grum-Schwensena, a researcher at the University of Southern Denmark’s Hans Christian Andersen Centre, told Sky News she was “having a hard time seeing what is particularly racist” about the fairy tale.
She’s definitely not alone in holding that position. Actions taken by the left-wing mob in recent weeks have raise questions about whether or not the mass destruction of statues really has anything to do with striving for racial equality.
If the goal of the protesters is to simply remove monuments to hardened racists, then it makes absolutely no sense to target a statue of African-American abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Yet, that’s exactly what happened last weekend in Rochester, New York.
A statue paying homage to Douglass located in the upstate New York city where he spent much of his life was “ripped off its concrete base and dragged away in a Rochester, New York park Sunday night,” The Daily Caller News Foundation reported Monday.
The indiscriminate destruction of statues and monuments has not spared other historical figures who fought or otherwise advocated for an end slavery, including Ulysses S. Grant, who led the Union Army to victory in the Civil War, and abolitionist Matthias Baldwin.
Either these far-left protesters have no knowledge of history, or they have something far more sinister in mind.

These freaky deaks have only one thing in mind and that is to destroy our culture.

ALL of it, even today's wacky, literally insane demands about like this story from Denmark comes down from whites' (notably Americans') passivity and gullibility in the face of jew brainwashing and social engineering re race back then.
There's a direct continuum from the federal invasion of Little Rock, Sidney Poitier movies, The March on Washington, Harry Belafonte, Lena Horne, "We sing more colored than Africans".... THOSE things, superficially idealistic, were the beginning of the end for whiteness and even national sanity. Tt can be traced inch by inch in an unbroken sequence of increased BS dosage from then to now.
