"The inventory of 41 Confederate street names includes major roads like Beauregard Street, Janney's Lane and Van Dorn Street, as well as neighborhood streets like Lee Street, Armistead Street, Calhoun Avenue and Davis Avenue. The city is researching other names like Stevenson Avenue, Reynolds Street and Hume Avenue to determine if they are associated with Confederate figures."

First they came for the sports teams and military bases...

When will they rename anything associated with Jews? Just because you don’t like the history, didn’t used to mean to bury it.

While crime has resurfaced here after the riots, shootings and robberies at decades high in east end, broaddick road, delray and 4 mile run, we are renaming streets becuase of equity or something.

Racism and Slavery are Bad.

So bad that, after 150 years we can’t have statues of Confederates or have anything named for Confederates. Doesn’t matter what they did later in life, there can be NO pardon, no commutation, for ANY Racist person place, or thing. EVER. This is the Standard of the modern Liberal, and may never be disregarded or ignored. EVER.
Why then, does the Party of Slavery, Segregation, Jim Crow, the Ku Klux Klan, and Lynching (not rhetorical lynching of today but the actual murder committed by Racists), the party that fillibustered the Voting Rights Act for two days get a Pass? Why is the Democrat Party allowed to exist? What special mitigating circumstances cleanse the hundreds of years of Slavery, Segregation, and Terrorism perpetrated by the Democrat Party?
Or, is all of this just Political Posturing by the Victims of Democrat Policies who, with a wink and a nod, are bought off by their former masters? You are just as much a Slave as your ancestors were, and to the same people.

Cool, they keep re-writing history, there will no longer be a slavery problem in the USA’s past. And when that goes, so do BLM, and a host of other Black race baiting ... Al Sharpton will be flipping burgers.
