Why is a Senate office building named for a racist?
While the secular Taliban of the Left has been busily destroying statues like they’re ISIS in Palmyra, scrubbing American history and reducing Founders, such as Declaration of Independence authors, to racist caricatures, they’ve missed one big, glaring target: the Russell Senate Office building.
But there’s big reason why groups such as antifa, Black Lives Matter, and other professional protesters probably don’t want to touch the issue.
The building, previously known as the Old Senate Office Building, was renamed for Georgia’s Senator Richard Russell, a Democrat, in 1972.
Senator Russell, a Democrat, Was an Avowed Racist
The Georgia Democrat was an unalloyed segregationist and co-wrote a pamphlet with fellow Democrat Senator Strom Thurmond, called, “The Southern Manifesto,” a racist answer to the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision ordering school integration.

As if BLM and all this crap is not ‘racist’. We are one sick society and apparently also helpless.
It will also be the money they carry around and use...Hate the statues,but love the money with slave owners pictures on it....BLM your name is hypocrite.....
Didn’t FDR inter Americans of Japanese ancestry in concentration camps? Isn’t that way reparations were paid? Why is his name still on anything?
Good question
Yup.
The Democrat party is the party of slavery and the KKK.
Pull all statues of Democrats down. Make all Democrats get down on their knees and apologize. Then cancel the Democrat party.
There may be a more practical reason BLM is not pushing to rename it. All the funds BLM raises goes to ACTBLUE. If BLM did not start as a subsidiary of the Democratic party, it effectively is now. The name of the building is under control of the Senate, maybe the House.
If BLM were to challenge the name of the building, that would bring them into direct conflict with Congress. They are not going to bite the hand that feeds them if they want to keep getting fed.
ROBERT BYRD, KKK GRAND KLEAGLE!
What about all the stuff named after KKK “Grand Kleagle” (???) Robert K Byrd?
Didn’t he get half the state named after himself?
We, and Trump, are being given a great opportunity for a great meme.
The meme will consist of nothing other than a list of a bunch of statues that have been toppled or names removed from buildings and such. Then the list will be narrowed to the post-civil war era alone.
Then we can most likely legitimately list:
statue of xxxxxxxx taken down - Democrat
statue of yyyyyyyy taken down - Democrat
statue of zzzzzzzz taken down - Democrat
name of aaaaaaaa removed - Democrat
name of bbbbbbbb removed - Democrat
name of cccccccc removed - Democrat
ect
ect
Interesing this Wikipedia page mentions Black Lies Matter...lol LIES~
ActBlue - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActBlue
ActBlue is a nonprofit technology organization established in June 2004 that enables Democrats, progressive groups (such as Black Lies Matter), and left-leaning nonprofits to raise money on the Internet by providing them with online fundraising software. Its stated mission is to “empower small-dollar donors”.
A Republican senator should immediately introduce a bill to rename the Russell building after Hiram Revels and explain who he is. Then MAKE the Rats come out against renaming that building in honor of the first black senator of Reconstruction. MAKE BLM freak out over it...if we’re lucky, some cracks will open up between the two.
