NEW YORK, N.Y. (WENY) -- Governor Andrew Cuomo is urging the U.S. Army to remove the names of Confederate Generals from the streets of a New York City military base.
Earlier this month, Army officials denied requests to remove the names of two Confederate Generals from the streets of Fort Hamilton.
They said the move would be controversial.
After recent events, Governor Cuomo is urging the Army to reconsider.
Cuomo says symbols of slavery and racism have no place in New York.
He believes renaming of the streets will send a clear message that New York stands against intolerance and racism

All the Confederate Generals are U.S. military Veterans, according to the Veterans Administration
I propose that no street, or building, or bridge, or park should be named for any Democrat so as a avoid any renaming in the future.
New York itself is one big symbol of slavery and racism.
The original economy in the 1700s was built on the slave trade.
ROTFL! Hey Cuomo. Get a life, sonny.
I would tell them - Okay, gov. You have two choices. Keep the Confederate generals or we change them all the Ronald Reagan. Take your pick.
Cuomo needs to get a clue that ft Hamilton is federal land and is not his territory
He should also get a clue that when this country pulls its head out and stops killing innocent babies that he is going to be one of history’s major offenders
Abortion has killed 56,000,000 innocents in 45 years
Cuomo is a leader of that
Democrats and the left truly are shameless bastards. Now they are in the business of obliterating history, the way ISIS does it. And the way the NAZI book burners did it.
[[Cuomo needs to get a clue that ft Hamilton is federal land and is not his territory]]
What does cuomo care about that? He’s so powerful he can pass illegal unconstitutional gun laws
Then prohibit the display of the Democratic National Committee logo in New York.
"They're basically today's Democrats arguing about statues of yesterday's Democrats."
I mean, Sherman and Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston were best buds after the war.
Cuomo says symbols of slavery and racism have no place in New York.
He believes renaming of the streets will send a clear message that New York stands against intolerance and racism!
Cuomo is correct! We should remove everything/name connected with racism. We should rename New York State and New York City as they were named for the Duke of York, the racist and future King James of England.
What was the Royal African Company? - Ask History
Apr 27, 2016 - Led by the king’s younger brother James, the Duke of York(later King James II), this group had a monopoly on British trade with West Africa, including gold, silver and slaves.

So the State of New York and New York city should be torn down and deposed like Confederate monuments as they were named after a man, the Duke of York, who was responsible for the seizing and selling of slaves via his leadership/connections with the Royal African Company.
He’s running
Many of them deeply respected their opponents, and in many cases, were close (sometimes best) friends before the war.
This is insanity.
“He’s running”
Hopefully in front of a moving 18 wheeler.

Cuomo -- like 95+% of liberals-- is an imbecile!
By stating that he is opposed to "intolerance" he has already "sent a clear message" of his stance.
By insisting on erasing history, Cuomo is being the very epitome of intolerance!!
Liberals: irrational imbeciles, all...
Should we rename all the Indian-themed helicopters? Those guys kept slaves and lost, as well.
Everything associated with the Roosevelt family needs to go. The family made their initial fortune processing sugar made by slaves under horrific conditions. Roosevelt's owned slaves. Some argue Theodore was a white supremacist.
Everything associated with Stuyvesant, last Dutch governor general, needs to go. He was a racist, and an Anti-Semite.
All the mentions of George Washington from the square, statue in front of Federal Hall on Wall Street, the bridge, etc. needs to go. The reason why is very well known.
