Civil rights groups are calling for the collapsed Baltimore bridge to be renamed when it's rebuilt, citing accusations of racism against national anthem author Francis Scott Key.
Leaders argued that the The Star-Spangled Banner author -who the collapsed bridge was named after - was a slave owner who wrote lyrics that scholars have said 'demeaned black people.'
They have asked for the bridge to be renamed after late congressman Parren J Mitchel, the first black man from Maryland elected to the US House of Representatives.

Can't have white people be honored, when white people have been oppressing and disinfranchising blacks throughout history and denying blacks their equity or superiority....
according to crt...
🙄
How did I know that was coming.
Wouldn’t it make a hell of a lot more sense just to save the money and not rebuild it? They didn’t put up new Robert E. Lee statues and “rename” them? Cancel Culture Club fags need to be fair here.
after all, look what they’ve achieved in S.A. since chasing out white farmers and landholders. out standing. and starving.
Who did not see this coming raise your flag......................
How about these black and whatever else groups and leaders pay for the bridge, then they can name it what they want.
I imagine they’ll name it after the black guy who wrote the MFL’s Super Sunday “Black” National Anthem.
How about paid for *and* built with only black labor?
So ‘accusations’ are sufficient. Got it. Now I hope all the locals accuse these demo-commie scum of racism for saying this, and make it clear we can’t listen to them because their reputation is ‘clouded by accusations of racism’.
Everyone gets discriminated against because human beings don't trust people who are different than them. Animals are the same way. It's bake into the cake--human nature.
If you want racism to end, show people that you can be trusted.
To be called “F You White People Bridge.”
“ are calling for the collapsed Baltimore bridge to be renamed when it’s rebuilt, citing accusations of racism ”
As expected.
As Patton said about Rommel, “I read your book” .
These people only have a very short book with one chapter, so they are 100% predictable.
Anything named after a white male needs to be erased and renamed after someone with darker skin.
Is that PC/CRT enough?
The Slave Reparations Money Bridge would work.
They heard all the suppositions on social media and decided, “why not?”
What lyrics in our National Anthem are demeaning to blacks?
Sure. And while we’re at it, we’ll rename the barge as “The Thug Boat”.
Don’t bother rebuilding it. Leaving it a disaster area makes for a better monument to the civil rights movement.
I called it within several hours after the collapse!
Nothing they say or even believe is consistent.
The modern liberal / leftist is a spoiled child. An amoral punk with a huge attitude and feeling both entitled and a victim at the same time.
They are truly disgusting humans inside and out, weirdos, dysfunctional, and think that everyone should be more like them, example: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTJbOZmkLqykEgRLu6cYzzcfcnh4vTa2-BDQhwlZhgkN3GMZuC659M4TVCv&s=10
So many freepers predicted this it started to get tedious.
