Once again history goes down the memory hole thanks to PC BS.
And just how many people actually know the full name of the state of Rhode Island? I’m from MA and I never knew this. This is just more liberal empty symbolism.
Well that’ll be enough to cause me to use the entire raightfull name.
The word plantation doesn’t automatically denote a slave farm.
The word "plantation" is used here in the same manner as in "Plymouth Plantation" and the way the English "planted" Protestants in Northern Ireland.
Good!!!,,,
Learn em’ too spelll “ROAD”!!!...(dumb yankezz!)...;0)
History buffs—was there slavery on any Providence plantations as this bill says there was?
That may just be a modern intrepretation of the word “plantation”.
Three words to liberal PC revisionists. Get Over IT.
“Plantation was an early method of colonization in which settlers were ‘planted’ abroad in order to establish a permanent or semi-permanent colonial base...”
“...In the state of Maine, the old meaning has been preserved in the name of local government jurisdictions. It is also preserved in the full name of Rhode Island, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.”
Once again, PC go wild.
You know anything about this?
Perhaps the names of the Democrat and Republican Parties should be changed as well to:
The Democratic Party and Black Plantation
The Republican Party and Conservative Plantation
Don’t you dare go runnin’ off boys. We’ll send the dogs after you! Get too uppity and we’ll sell you down the river!
Although it’s not a big enough state then may I suggest the name Oprahoma.
I suggest “The State of Rhode Island and Providence Dude Ranch.”
“Rhode Island, a PC liberal plantation” is kinda catchy.
they should do this. all american history has to be re written to attone for the sins of our founding fathers and whites must pay.
Wouldn’t it just be easier and quicker to just eradicate all white people?
We have become a very sick, diseased and suicidal people. It is almost indescribable what we willingly allow and take part in. Lemmings have nothing on us. Our children, whats left of them, will damn us to hell.
A little White Guilt, eh Rhodies?
Got news for you. Doing this won’t erase your White Guilt.
Then the name would be "State of Rhode Island and." ;-)
How about “Small, insignificant, but still a State”
Almost as bad as the "niggardly" fiasco.
I’m jealous. Things are going so well in Rhode Island, that the State legislature can afford to waste time on idiocy such as this. While they’re at the name change, they should outlaw the use of the word ‘niggardly’ as racist. Just clean all that racist stuff up.
I suggest they use TSFKARIAPP
The State Formerly Known as Rhode Island and Providence Plantations
