Further, the black doctor is not advocating a new law to force a name change. He is trying to buy it fair and square. But the pro confederacy freeper nuts seem offended that he is trying to even that.
Well... I would not get offended at a building named Confederate Memorial Hall but then I'm not from the South. Some southerners will just have to recognize that for some black people, confederate does symbolize slavery and not anything to be proud of. I think it's a shame but that's life. There's a lot to learn about confederate history but some people just aren't 'there' yet.
for SOME northern soldiers the war was about "preserving the union". unfortunately however, for a LARGE percentage of union soldiers, the war was about ONLY about FUN & PROFIT.

Well, it's a fair offer, even if it's a bit light, as someone pointed out.
However, the fact that he made the offer demonstrates that he thinks they might take the money; or he's saying, in a concrete way, that they're the sort of people who would take the money. In a way, it's a putdown. And they shouldn't accept it for that reason, or view the offer as friendly.
It's a fair offer, but it's not a friendly one. Like offering someone money for his sister's virtue, in a way.
