BOSTON (CBS) How would you feel if Faneuil Hall was renamed? Boston religious leaders gathered on Wednesday at the historic building to condemn the violence in Charlottesville. That is when Kevin Peterson, founder of the New Democracy Coalition, suggested it.
Here in this very place on this very ground, we see an embarrassment to the community of color in Boston, an embarrassment to white people of good mind and good spirit in Boston because this place is named after a man who engaged in the sale of human flesh and we should be quite frankly embarrassed by that. Ive called on the mayor in recent months to look into renaming this building, said Peterson. Its an embarrassment to this city to remain focusing on this place as a place of celebration and as a place of which we should have some civic pride with this name attached to it. He proposed that the building is renamed after Crispus Attucks, a black man, who was the first person killed in the Boston Massacre. Bostons famous Faneuil Hall was donated to the city by Peter Faneuil, a merchant in the area during the 1700s. He both owned and traded slaves.
Well, if God needs anti-slavery in order to get a foothold... He will gladly do it, not caring where the rest of the chips fall.
The wise will expand on the concept. What kind of slavery have we been wishing on our fellow men and our children? You hate slavery? Excellent! Now let’s show it by what we do, more than just symbolically.
Like ceasing the thrust towards turning a whole group of people (the poor, the black) into government chattels, even though this time with handcuffs of gold rather than of iron.
Muhammad was a slave trader, sex slave trafficer and specifically gives advice in the koran on how to take, trade, rape and keep slaves.
Why are there no protests to tear down mosques?
Because they know exactly what will happen to them if they do.
Penny Lane must be renamed, the Beatles’ song be damned.
Rename it? Shouldn’t they tear it down? Some people who still know who once owned it.
And the power to face up against the spiritual evil behind it is currently rare and far between to be found.
A person who gets in a situation to do this, would long before he became successful be criticized as a Christian religious nut. Like me :-).
I’d sooner evangelize the Muslims that God very conveniently put by my doorstep, but hey. There is something to be said about talking back to some of their worldviews too.
Then lets close down the Kennedy Library. After all, Kennedy had as part of the property agreement for Hyannis Port that they couldn’t rent or sell to blacks.
Stop rewriting you little Orwellian monsters!
Stop rewriting history, I meant to say.
Because the common enemy of both Islam and the Left is the Judeo-Christian West. The “Cold War” against our values, our culture, and our nation turned into a hot war long ago, but most people refused to admit it.
We need to change the name of Brown University because Brown was a slave trader. Something to honor “heroes” like Antifa Academy, as a reward for these “D Day” types so respected by the likes of McCain, Romney and the Bushes.
The alt-Left is attacking America.
Great stuff - this is exactly who they are; they no longer bother to hide their antipathy to the country’s founding principles, values and institutions.
I concur with Steven Bannon this is a fight the President will win and the disbandment of the business councils is a win.
The Davos elites don’t stand up for America.
Useful idiots on the Right thought they were going to stop with Confederate stuff, when really that was just the low-handing fruit, the warm-up act for the Left. Andrew Jackson is next, then Founding Fathers that owned slaves, along with Texas Revolution heroes.
“First they came for the Confederates......”
I’m no fan of the Confederacy, but you have to be blind not to see where this is heading.
Aristotle believed that slavery was OK. Ban his books!
Before this gets out of hand, can we please just rename every street and building in the country after Cesar Chavez or MLK?? And replace every statue with a festivus pole.
I am offended by BLM and any record of their existence must be removed from public view...NOW.
