In an experiment, social critic Mark Dice asks beachgoers in San Diego to sign a petition he said would rename the Capital of the United States to something else because Washington D.C. is named after George Washington, a slave owner. (c) 2015 by Mark Dice.

So did Jefferson.....and half of the other signers of the Constitution.

What's the plan? Rename it after Booker T. Washington?
King County, Washington, was originally named for Pierce's vice president (who died soon after taking office), but has been renamed for Martin Luther King, Jr.

Well, the Russians aren’t using the name “Stalingrad” any more.
To: markomalley
But they could keep it as D.C. - as Richard Pryor noted, it stands for “Dark Country”...

What's the plan? Rename it after Booker T. Washington? The headline on Drudge says the plan is to rename it, "Obama, D.C."
I'm surprised the Democrats haven't moved to make Obama president for life.

We could call it “National District #1”. Precedent to “State Farm #22”, “National River # 106”, “Mountainous Area #4” and other unoffending names.

D.C. is majority black and yes it is not really safe.

Stupid. There are millions of people named Washington who had nothing to do with slavery. Change their names too?
