Theodore Roosevelt was alot of things but NEVER a RACIST! Keep the statue and read some history before making judgments. As a politician he was ruthless. As an imperialist he was a jerk. But as president he had Blacks in the conventions and he brought Booker T. Washington to the White House for dinner in 1901. But what makes him a racist? That he was white is that it? Otherwise I am against statues all together because some statues really need to be torn down due to the character of the person, How about RAY LEWIS’ statue in front of the stadium in Baltimore. That statue needs to be torn down period poo. Not Teddy’s!
