Africa and Islam are going to be re-named?
We can rename it “New Floyd”.
Do Jews count in all this. FDR was a well known anti-Semite. Should his picture and busts be removed from the White House.
I would say “Don’t give them ideas” but I know they’ve been entertaining that thought already, for for a far longer time back than anyone who isn’t them would dare to think. It’s not about easing pain and leaving bad memories behind, it’s about imposing “Year Zero” conditions and this means nothing more to the actual backers of the movement than a convenient tool. When that ceases to be useful, they’ll look for some other bloody shirt to wave.
The KKK democrat party of slavery and segregation must be dissolved.
What about all those things named after Robert Byrd?
Two slave states fought for the Union - and the Emancipation Proclamation didn’t free their slaves.
NJ was a slave state until 15 years before the Civil War; when our governor Fail Murphy removed Mississippi’s flag from one of our state parks because it had the Confederate flag on it, Mississippi could have used the same logic and removed ours. WE had been a slave state as well!
I don’t believe you are quite getting the push to rename the Army bases that are currently named for Confederate soldiers. The push to rename them isn’t because the people they were named after were slaveholders (not sure if all were, and in any case, slavery was legal at that time). It’s because they were traitors to the United States. Very simple - don’t try to muddy the waters.
US Army bases should be named after US Army heroes, not traitors to our country. My suggestion is that they be named after Medal of Honor winners from that state. For example, Fort Hood should be renamed Fort Audie Murphy, a Texas native.
I’ve proposed “Oprahoma” for Georgia’s new name. George II was so imperialistic.
Chief Seattle used to own slaves. The city must be renamed.
Anything named after a democrat should be renamed.
Okay, I claim Trumplandia for Florida!...................

Sorta has a ring to it.
Some moron on one of the news sites that I comment on, wrote me that I'd never see a Confederate flag fly at a Democrat Convention, and then I told them that Arkansas, North Carolina and some other States have Confederate symbols in their flags, and that they are flown at Democrat Conventions. These douches are so easy to screw with.
They should start with the name “New York” which was named after the Duke of York, James II, who was the largest slave trader in history to the Americas.
There was slavery going on here long before the Europeans came. Lots of rivers and Indian place names are going to have to change.
There was slavery going on all around the globe for thousands of years. I seem to remember an account of a man leading his people out of bondage in Egypt to the Promised Land long, long ago. MLK referenced this event in his famous speech.
Guess we’ll have to erase Egypt from history.
We’ll have to change the name of Washington, D.C., too. Washington owned slaves.
Let’s add SURNAMES to the demands. There are a lot of WASHINGTONS and JACKSONS around.
