BOSTON Voters in Boston rejected a non-binding ballot question that asked whether voters supposed the renaming of Dudley Square to Nubian Square in Roxbury.

It’s a good thing. Because if they did rename it to Nubian Square, a lot of people would give a slightly different name. And that would be very un-PC.
Red Sox owner got city to rename area
street from Yawkey Way back to Jersey
St saying owner Tom Yawkey was racist
even though his foundation helped black people.
The Earl of Jersey imported slaves.
I remember when they wanted to from thier own city and call it Mandela city.
What’s keeping them from renaming Roxbury Nubia ?
Geez, do they ever think of anything but their color?
Should’ve named it, “Joyzee St.”
Fun fact: Whenever New Jersey is referred to in Latin (as in diplomas, etc.), the name used in Nova Caesarea. The Caesars, of course, NEVER imported slaves (/s).
If it was a non-binding ballot then the city leaders will do it anyway.
I thought Roxbury was Little Chiraq
Boston was named for St. Botolph; the British city name of Boston is a contraction of St. Botolph’s town. (Or, St. Botolph’s stone, alternatively.)
Why not? As George Lincoln Rockwell put it, their skin color is their uniform.
ROME “burns” and this issue gets a vote.
Every parent should be girding their children to endeavor to become wealthy enough that, no matter how far this country goes down the toilet, they will be able to sustain themselves.
Probably would’ve passed if it had been Popeye’s Square.
