Birmingham to rename 16th Street to Black Lives Matter Blvd

CBS42 ^ | Jun 19, 2020 | Cory McGinnis, Shannon Robinson

[plain talk]

What's odd to me is the 16th street Baptist Church is renown by the black community as a land marker in their struggle for civil rights in light of the bombing that took place in 1963.

The "Black Lives Matter Baptist Church "doesn't roll off the tongue the same way.

Names of streets are changing so fast it is a wonder the Post Office and other delivery services can keep up with the changes.

[euram]

That offends me, so I’m guessing I can go and tear down all the Black Lies Matter street signs without fear of being arrested or interfered with in any way.

Wait until every street is named Black Lives matter Blvd.

Capitulating to Satan.

Used to live on 16th Street SOUTH.........in 1969................

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Well, another street people know they shouldn’t go down/on.

[ClearCase_guy]

Very useful. Helpful to know which street needs to be avoided.

What streets are being renamed “White Lives Matter”?

[outofsalt]

To paraphrase Chris Rock, "If you are lost on Black Lives Matter Blvd, RUN!"

[EinNYC]

How utterly pathetic. These idiots are teaching the thugs that if you destroy enough property and throw a big enough tantrum, you win and get streets, schools, etc. named after you. What happened to honoring people who actually deserve to be honored, not street trash? There are long lists of humanitarians, scientists, doctors, statesmen, heroes—and BLM is not on them to deserve anything.

[gundog]

16? Hmmmm....that’s 8+8. Doesn’t that mean ”Heil Hitler”?

[golux]

Yo - Jew Lives Matter, too! ALL minorities is equal. Where my free phone and food and cash and preference at universities and corporations and ‘govmint and stuff? I DEMAND FREE STUFF BITCH ELSE I GONNA SMACK YOU ASS ‘WIF A MATZOH!

[a fool in paradise]

It sounds like it is a toll road where drivers may be confronted by toll collectors at any intersection and made to cough up protection money.

[Skywise]

Cool - segregation and racism is hip again.

Can white counties now rename MLK to Robert E Lee Street?

Can we have an “it’s ok to be white” lane?

[a fool in paradise]

BLM’s coffers are now into the billion dollar range thanks to corporate America.

[a fool in paradise]

Since political causes and PACs can now become street names, where is Right To Life Way?

[TnTnTn]

Great....another easily recognized no-go zone.....
