Will They Be Removed?: 30 Places Named After Former Klansman Robert Byrd

August 16, 2017

That's just a few. Since we're gonna rename schools and take down every sign and statue of people who have a controversial past. Are we also going to include Former Klansman and Grand Wizard Robert Byrd?

If we are consistent, these are some places named after Robert KKK Byrd that should be taken down. You won't see this on cable news.

President Trump please call for the Democrat party to be disbanded. NO group in America is more associated with slavery, insurrection, church bombings and pure racist hatred. How dare they hide behind confederate statues they ARE the confederacy.

Leftist freaks with whom I discussed KKK Kleagle Robert Byrd several years ago said all is good because “he apologized”, and they urged me to buy his book so I could read his “apology” for myself.

Yes, remove them. We should shame members of congress for naming things after themselves. Pelosi has a drive in San Francisco, for example. But, on topic, yes, these KKK leaders should lose their hero-worshipping statues. Museum or sell. Hey, can they be used for target practice? If person is dead, not getting mixed up in laws, correct?

Perfect for Alinsky Rule #4

Local Freepers should have a protest march outside of the WV Capitol building, calling Byrd’s prominence a Macro Aggression.

And use the KKK and Democrats in all the chants . . .

And don’t give me any crap that they changed. America changed changed changed and they say it’s still guilty. My family came here after the Civil War, lived in the North, voted democrat and they say we’re guilty. All vestiges of democrat party must go.

This is what conservatives need to start doing. Using libs rules (I typed ‘principles’ but that obviously doesn’t apply) against them. Hoist them on their own petard.

Why don’t some freepers go to where that statue is with a bunch of signs denouncing the KKK and racism and tear down that statue?

At one time, I thought there were over 600 Byrd monuments, plaques or namings.

Whoever this “alt-Right” is shouldn’t ask, they should just start targeting EVERYTHING with Byrds’ name on it.
