This shit is ridiculous. Fort Bragg California is talking about changing the name of their town because apparently General Braxton Bragg was a racist, and now this.
We're going to look like Russia, changing the names of cities and localities to fit the current regime.
Broward County has close to 2 million people in it. 1000 signatures statistically doesn't exist.
ReplyDeleteWhat Broward did "wrong" was support the same goals as Marcus Garvey.
The leftist areas are. Not so much were legacy Americans are.
ReplyDeleteFort Bragg CA was named after Capt. Braxton Bragg, four years before the Civil War. 2010 demographics show the African-American population is seven tenths of one percent. In order to be truly inclusive, we need to make illegal the last names Washington, Jefferson and Jackson and rename every town, county, street, lake, river, reservoir ... those names should be purged from memory. The Rev. Jesse () and Calif. Rep. Sheila () Lee would have to get rid of their slave names. Getting a jump on US companies, Lloyd's and Greene King of the UK are paying reparations to "representatives" of black and Asian groups.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't they go one step farther and rename all of the states that seceded, and all of their counties and all of the towns and cities that existed in 1860.
ReplyDeleteWhat are they going to rename New York City to....?
ReplyDeleteIt’s currently named after the Duke of York.....James II.....
James II headed the Royal Africa Company......a notorious slave trader.....
Or Yale University......Elihu Yale.....a notorious slave trader.....
I could go on and on.......but do you get the gist about how stupid this is.......
History is history......get over it......slavery ended in 1865 in our country......and move on.

We should rename New York City and state since it's named after the Duke of York, later King James II of England. One of the most prolific slave traders ever.
ReplyDeleteAlso the New York Times and the New Yorker.
I won't be moving to the town of Snoop Dog.
ReplyDeleteAll this name-change and tearing down statues shit has to stop. It's being fueled by a tiny number of "revolutionaries" and NO ONE ASKED THE REST OF US (i.e. "the majority"). I for one DON'T agree so they need to knock that shit off!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to file a lawsuit in CA to force every municipality to change every name that referenced Catholic Saints. And if you know CA, that's a shit ton. The thought of how much time and money that would cost the state makes me smile. And just the thought of the huge fights that would ensue as they fell over each other trying to be PC in their choice on new names makes me laugh. But then I moved.
