“The inconvenience of reprinting business cards is minor compared to the offensive history of the city’s namesake,” responded Terry Schanz, a spokesman for South-Bay Senator Isadore Hall III, vice-chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus.

Says someone who is not responsible for paying for such foolishness.

These people need to deal with history as it is or find somewhere else to live. I guess they wouldn’t consider Africa seeing that it was there own kind that sold their ancestors into slavery in the first place. Its amazing how many blacks do not know their own history.

It's impossible to stop following this stuff because it just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Is anyone who's sane in charge of anything?

St. Petersburg was Leningrad before it was St. Petersburg and St. Petersburg before it was Leningrad. Some comrades fall from favor.

You know I speak for myself here but, an yeah I have to have a similar skin color some of these folks have but to be honest I have known plenty of folks of many ethnic backgrounds who have served at Bragg and I have never heard not one damn complaint about the name, which leads me to believe it is all ado about nothing. Removing this name will not and I repeat not help these mostly inner-city neighborhoods that are hellholes, or solve what is the failure of the great society, the only hope for them is go back to the values that got them through the hard times back then, if it means acting like a so called white-bread then so be it, for it is better than being dead and also god forbid that Latino’s become the majority someday for if they do the White guilt card will not work and they will be finished, all of them.

Braxton Bragg wasn't liked by some of the Confederate Generals LOL. One in particular.

McCown declared the Confederacy was nothing more than "a damned stinking cotton oligarchy... gotten up for the benefit of Isham G. Harris and Jefferson Davis and their damned corrupt cliques.

My late beloved was McCown's GG Niece :>}

Bragg wasn't really liked by anybody.

My favorite Nathan Bedford Forrest story:

For the second time, Bragg ordered Forrest to turn over the command he had worked hard to train to Gen. Wheeler. Riding to his commander's tent, Forrest minced few words with him. "..I have stood your meanness as long as I intend to. You have played the part of a damned scoundrel, and are a coward, and if you were any part of a man I would slap your jaws and force you to resent it...I say to you that if you ever try to interfere with me or cross my path again it will be at the peril of your life."
