Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson are history in Connecticut.
Under pressure from the NAACP, the state Democratic Party will scrub the names of the two presidents from its annual fundraising dinner because of their ties to slavery.
Party leaders voted unanimously Wednesday night in Hartford to rename the Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner in the aftermath of last months fatal shooting of nine worshipers at the historic black church in Charleston, S.C.
The decision is believed to be unprecedented and could prompt Democrats in other states with similarly-named events to follow suit.

Sethi: Let the name of Moses be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of Egypt. Let the name of Moses be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time.

The same Chinese crap that comes in through east coast ports.
New Orleans, too?
Relatively few? Here’a list

Arm_Bears, I agree! They hate the South so much, they need to shut up or leave.
And they hate us because we don’t agree with them now, never did, & never will.
This is a TOXiC ‘’relationship”.
So it's the Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao dinner now?
Maybe they could add Robert C. Byrd.
Not only should it not have Jefferson/Jackson, but a dinner by the Byrd party, it should not have “Democrat” in it either.
If true to their intentions here, they need to call it
the “Dinner” dinner.
Of course!
Not to mention Tampa FL, Mobile AL, Port Arthur TX, Galveston TX, Corpus Christi TX, and Brownsville TX, to name only a few.
Sir_Humphrey apparently thought there were no Atlantic ports in the Southeastern US; hence, my response.
I suggest they name it after 2 other prominent democrats. Huey Long and Andrew Johnson.
Well it’s official, the Democrats are now officially repudiating the founding fathers. We know they had contempt for them in private but now they are going public with it.
The mentality of those trying to rewrite history is not much difference than the mentality of ISIL/ISIS destroying old cities and antiquities.
Perfecto mundo!
I’m begining to lose heart and faith.
Doubtless their names to be replaced by ‘kunta kente’ and ‘malcolm X’
And Selena.
From the comments: [I like]
**On behalf of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson- Thank You for removing our names from anything representing such an inept, and clueless organization.**
How about Marx-Lenin People’s Democratic Dinner
Every dinner should be called ‘The Dorian Johnson and Michael Brown Put on The Feed Bag Feast’.
Without the rage of the black criminal class white liberal elites couldn’t be elected dog catchers...
