Should Al Jolson have his monument in Los Angeles removed?

Question

Why is it that Hollywood celebrities get a special dispensation from the radical democrats in Hollywood?  Jolson was obviously racist and most famous for mimicking blacks while doing blackface.  You can't even see his films anymore because the race censures have had them destroyed.  But, he has a monument.  Should it come down?

Alexander · Answer

Jolson was not mimicking Blacks, he was honoring them and their culture, performing their music in venues where they themselves were unwelcome, giving them their due, more than Stephen Foster ever did.

Is it on private land paid for privately? Or is it on public land paid for by taxes?
