   This is a really stupid nigger politician.  Ignorant.   
      
   Washington, D.C.’s congressional delegate, Eleanor Holmes   
   Norton, said Tuesday she will introduce legislation to remove a   
   “problematic” statue of Abraham Lincoln from D.C.’s Lincoln Park   
   on Capitol Hill.   
      
   Holmes Norton cited the statue’s “problematic depiction of the   
   fight to achieve emancipation” as grounds for its removal. The   
   statue shows Lincoln standing over a shackled slave holding the   
   Emancipation Proclamation.   
      
   “Although formerly enslaved Americans paid for this statue to be   
   built in 1876, the design and sculpting process was done without   
   their input and it shows,” Holmes Norton said in a statement.   
   “The statue fails to note in any way how enslaved African   
   Americans pushed for their own emancipation.”   
      
   Holmes Norton claimed that the former slaves who funded the   
   statue “were only recently liberated” and were “grateful for any   
   recognition of their freedom.”
