Here's another state with a racist name that needs a changin' ...
Let he who is without sin cast he first stone!
New Amsterdam. We can name it after Maury Amsterdam. (Mega mouth snark)
Explains a lot. NYS taxpayers are slaves to their so-called public servants.
I thought it was named after those nervous little dogs.
He became James II, not James I.
If we have to eliminate everything that has some historic connection to slavery, there will be nothing left. Actually, I think that’s their goal.
We’re moving into the realm of the absurd here. 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon territory.
Democrats must burn it down to save their heritage.

This is big..
Start spreading the news...
Al Sharpton called for renaming New York “MLK City” some 20-25 years ago. No joke.
I wonder the following:
When will they tear down the Coliseum the site of many Christian Slaughters?
When will they tear down the Jefferson Memorial?
And let’s not forget Auschwitz and other camps left standing in Germany.
And of course we must name the nation’s capital from Washington to something else
And dismantle the Holocaust Museum
Let’s get working on Paving over Gettysburg; make it into a nice big mall
And of course let’s go after each individual who has had their photo taken in front of any of these memorials because clearly they are celebrating many horrible things that happened in history.
I live near Valley Forge and I am waiting to see many of the statues of George Washington and other slave owners toppled to the ground
I wish I was as smart as a liberal I didn’t know you could erase the past by tearing down statues and destroying buildings oh well I guess I’ll just have to learn to be a smart as them and if there’s a statue of a liberal erected and then later torn down because it offended somebody torn down some day in the future hopefully we won’t forget what they stood for (sarcasm)
At 100,000 African slaves between 1672 and 1689, James was a piker.
Oliver Cromwell (and his successor) sent the Irish into slavery between 1641 and 1652, and reduced the population of Ireland from 1,466,000 to 616,000. That’s 850,000 people, more than 8 times as many as James.
Looks like we’re on a roll to pay for transgressions done in the past.
Problem is, the carpet of transgressions covers everybody stretching back to Adam. So, good luck with that.
Ultimately whites will defend themselves or our nation will be destroyed.
Let’s not forget the KENNEDY family who enslaved people through the bootlegging of liquor.
100 Amazing Facts About the Negro No. 21: Did black people own slaves? If so, why?
One of the most vexing questions in African-American history is whether free African Americans themselves owned slaves. The short answer to this question, as you might suspect, is yes, of course; some free black people in this country bought and sold other black people, and did so at least since 1654, continuing to do so right through the Civil War. For me, the really fascinating questions about black slave-owning are how many black "masters" were involved, how many slaves did they own and why did they own slaves?
The answers to these questions are complex, and historians have been arguing for some time over whether free blacks purchased family members as slaves in order to protect them — motivated, on the one hand, by benevolence and philanthropy, as historian Carter G. Woodson put it, or whether, on the other hand, they purchased other black people "as an act of exploitation," primarily to exploit their free labor for profit, just as white slave owners did.
The evidence shows that, unfortunately, both things are true. The great African-American historian, John Hope Franklin, states this clearly: "The majority of Negro owners of slaves had some personal interest in their property." But, he admits, "There were instances, however, in which free Negroes had a real economic interest in the institution of slavery and held slaves in order to improve their economic status."
Nicolas Augustin Metoyer of Louisiana owned 13 slaves in 1830.
He and his 12 family members collectively owned 215 slaves.
How come this was not a problem the last 8 years or past 40 years that Democrats have controlled NYC?
Has Jesse Jackson changed his last name yet? Just askin’.
Let’s rename NYC then. How about “New Market?”
Oh, wait...
No country or religion was founded without blood shed, controvercy and imperfections. The “perfect” Barbie girl in a Barnie world snowflakes are the epitomy of decadence, strife and candidacy for militarized hypocrit life in America. Cults of moral superiority are the most hyerarchized systems, I do not care what antifa idealist are claiming. It is in the language and deeds, not in the nice speech propaganda that hate festers.
