Will They Be Removed?: 30 Places Named After Former Klansman Robert Byrd
August 16, 2017
That's just a few. Since we're gonna rename schools and take down every sign and statue of people who have a controversial past. Are we also going to include Former Klansman and Grand Wizard Robert Byrd?
If we are consistent, these are some places named after Robert KKK Byrd that should be taken down. You won't see this on cable news.

Too late. The left is already protesting there to advocate the removal of the statue of Stonewall Jackson.
Is that the world liberals want us to live in?
Where does this stop? At the point where it starts to hurt democrats? That's my guess.
Tear it down. Take some black freepers and friends that are against the kkk and tear it down. Make sure all the signs say "No KKK in WV"
Let his name stay on Green Bank. He got the funds to rebuild it after it collapsed, and it is in a special transmitter-free area.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah
That list reminds me of Kim Jong Un.
Grand Wizard?
I thought he was a Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops!
People never seem to remember that Byrd turned on the KKK, explicitly repudiated his racist past, and worked to combat racism.
I believe in the transformative power of change and the ability of people to outgrow their past mistakes. For this reason I’m unwilling to use him as a club against Democrats the way so many other people do.
I would also be willing to forgive any of those Nazis from Charlottesville that did the same as him.
Inconvenient truth.
Tsk, tsk.
The troll at post# 28 would not approve....
It has nothing whatsoever to do with forgiveness or transformation. Do you not see that?
History bears out that democrats are the party of racist words and actions for the most part.
Yet they get to decide who/what is racist or not racist. And if we disagree with them, we prove they’re right somehow!
It’s whatever they say .. at their discretion.
So now they want to delete American history on their whims and we’re not supposed to fight back with the “clubs” we have available? I pray we’re not that passive. I know Pres. Trump isn’t.
I’d like to see a ML King St be renamed...
Does this article mention that Byrd was a democrat?
