Apparently not even Elvis is safe from protestors. Check out what happened to Graceland last night.

i remember david letterman once said this about isis: "y'all are the people that go around randomly killing people for no reason. yes, i think i would like to be a part of that."
Fool's names, like fool's faces are often seen in public places.
Elvis always gave credit to the Black Churches for influencing his musical style.
But in today's nonsense, he would be accused of cultural appropriation.
Had it not been for opioids and forty fried peanut butter & banana sandwiches every night at 2:00 AM,
Elvis may have lived way beyond his forties.
There has always been spray painted graffiti on the wall at Graceland. The only reason it is mentioned today is because it supports black people.
So, when does this end?
Between this, the other cities being raped and Covid, we are a lost country.

You are too funny lil' one !
4:58, being a bit dramatic there. There are plenty of white musicians today who take inspiration from black musicians and they aren’t accused of cultural appropriation. Why would that be different for Elvis? Of course any idiot with a blog can make any accusation they want, but does anyone actually believe there would be a large public sentiment shaming Elvis?
Elvis would have abandoned Graceland decades ago.
" does anyone actually believe there would be a large public sentiment shaming Elvis? "
In 2020. . . yes.
Don't be cruel....
Someone’s blues suede shoes just got stopped on
Hey 5:42, why don't you mention the 2,000 people shot in Chicago year to date? Oh yeah, that doesn't fit the Marxist narrative.
Graceland rakes in tons of money. They should install super high resolution video security cameras & then track these hooligan down. Bring back the chain gang & make them use swing a swing blade on the side of the road.
Its always covered in 'urban art.' Nothingburger.
I found this photo of graffiti at Graceland

Notice anything different?
As for how the radical left would treat Elvis today, I think he would be fine. He sang 'black' songs at a time when many white singers would not. He was comfortable around blacks and was extremely generous to the poor. He might not pass all their 'political correctness' tests, but if everyone was as racist as Elvis racism wouldn't be a problem.
8:07 - Its a completely separate topic. Do you not think there is a difference when a citizen kills a citizen versus a government agent killing a citizen?
5:42 Please do not say this crap supports black people. This stuff USES black people. Anarchists who are mostly white want to foment violence and societal overthrow and will use any pretext that gets them additional support. BLM has proved to be very useful.
Sorry KF but "protesters" did not hit Graceland. Vandals hit Graceland. A few popular slogans does not change that!
@8:16
And Nazis called the French Resistance "terrorists" too. Because one man's freedom fighter is another's terrorist.
This blog seems to be full of crypto fascists who are scared of losing their power. Well the racist south lost the civil war and the fight against civil rights.
Accept it and get over it, bigot.
9:16 A protester does not sneak around in the darkness and deface or destroy the property of other people no matter what political slogan or obscenity they may spray paint. To do that is an act of VANDALISM...Not protest. Come out of the darkness and stand up straight for what you believe, that is protest. Before you call people you don't know bigots, look in the mirror, it may help you define a bigot. You seem to have trouble with definitions.
KF, as I have posted in the past, if separate but equal was done correctly, we wouldn't be in this mess today. Other than obvious shared public spaces, we would all be left to our own devices, and there would be a ton more respect.
Hey @9:16 You're not equating punk kids with a spray paint can with French Resistance are you? What a joke.
Elvis owned slaves?
If you have not been to Graceland lately,please go. It is very entertaining, but be careful as this part of South Memphis is very dangerous! Need I say more.
