Rachel (although to be fair, not deliberately) is at about 1,000,000 per year for nearly a half century.

For Rachel it was BLM - Bird Lives Matter, more than Black Lives.

The story of Kit Carson is freaking amazing. Anyone not familiar with it should take the time to do so.

[MarvinStinson]

This is the height of stupidity and insanity.

What the hell is "controversial" about Kit Carson?

KIT CARSON. What a man.

[madison10]

This is extremely sad.

[crz]

Hate to say it but Carson isnt really reviled by the Navajo tribe.

[Regulator]

So uh...what are the people removing the statue doing there?

Time to give up the big house in Golden to a deserving Cheyenne descendant.

Not black people, they weren’t there.

San Antonio is named for St. Anthony, who was born in Lisbon, so Portuguese. He is the saint people pray to for help when they have lost something. If only the liberals who have lost their minds would turn to him. But he might be overwhelmed with the number of cases. "Take a number."

St. Gabriel is an archangel so the "white" part may be irrelevant.

St. Mark was Jewish and presumably born in the Holy Land. Didn't the Obama administration try to create "Middle East and North Africa" as a geographical label (MENA) to create another group entitled to special treatment? But they probably did not intend for that to include Jews.

When do they rename Bowie Knife?

I read that book when I was a kid.

Even then I thought it was crap.

I’ve always wondered if she got to meet the souls of everyone for whom she is responsible.

Wonder what California is going to rename all those cities with “San”?

[CatOwner]

The left might as well rename everything they want. Who is going to stop them? Certainly not the GOP and conservatives.

[laplata]

I understand.

[EEGator]

Cholo?

[dfwgator]

Ciudad de Guevara

[EEGator]

Y El Ciudad de Zapata.

I always laugh when I saw young Blacks at UF wearing a Che shirt. I was always tempted to let them know what he thought of Blacks.

[ifinnegan]

Yes. Why is Kit Carson “controversial”?

[LeoTDB69]

“Yes. Why is Kit Carson “controversial”?”

Well, he was Rush Limbaugh’s chief of staff :)
