Activists are planning to boycott Boston's Faneuil Hall after their calls for a name change to the historic site, which is named after a slave owner, have went unanswered.

The hall has served as a home for civic rhetoric from the time colonists congregated to talk about freedom from the British.

It is rank hypocrisy to keep the building donated by the slave owner but change the name. If they are so indignant, they need to return the building to his heirs.

If they had their way it’d be converted to a battered women’s shelter only for people of color and be renamed for Obama.

They read the history books to find out who was a slaveholder before slavery was abolished. That includes a lot of people. If they plan to abolish everything with the name of a former slaveholder, they have enough to keep them busy for the next few hundred years.

After that, it will be descendants of the Columbus ship crew.

If this building was located south of the Mason-Dixon line, the rabble would be demanding the structure be torn down. /s

Have went? More proof that no one, I mean NO ONE, uses editors and/or proofreaders anymore.

As a stickler for good grammar, this drives me crazy (and it wasn't a long drive to begin with).;-)

The rich liberals that own all the high end eateries up in Boston are going to get a taste of their own SJW tactics. They created them and now they are trying to eat their own. But Boston liberals are nothing if not vicious when they are threatened. They hate losing money and they are as cheap as they come with it.

I move to FL from there years ago and I can tell you there is more racism and bias in one square mile in Boston than half of Florida. I would love nothing more than to see Boston become the next Oregon or Seattle, but it probably won’t happen...they will stomp it out and do it in a way to teach the little critters a lesson.

Does anyone think that one of the most racist cities is really going to give a hoot what these snowflakes think?

No real Bostonian spends much time there, except if friends from out of town are there.

If by Boycott, that means the troublemakers will stay away, I say great!

Boycott meaning staying away, or boycott meaning typical left wing activist protests bothering people and getting in the way of fun and commerce?

Possibly they DO use editors and proofreaders, but that the editors and proofreaders were educated in the “everyone graduates” school districts we hear about so much these days.

(FYI, my first reaction to the post was also a cringe due to the “..calls have went....” usage.)

Yeah, this is awful. The correct syntax should be: have done gone went unanswered.
