Old Dixie Highway is now officially President Barack Obama Highway within the city limits of Riviera Beach.

For the residents of Riviera Beach, it has been a long time coming.

Mary Brabham has been a resident of Riviera Beach for years. She says the change is welcome.

"It's time to let the past be the past. We are moving forward and do things not for one, but for all."

According to Riviera Beach Mayor Thomas Masters, Old Dixie Highway served as a reminder that this city was once heavily segregated.

♫ Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton Old times there are not forgotten Look away, Look away, look away Barak Obama Land♫....

Dammit to hell, if it’s time to let “the past be the past”, I don’t want to hear one more word about the legacy of slavery, or see one more license plate with the stupid chain around it. It’s either one or the other, they don’t get it both ways depending on when it works for them. I’m sick of hearing about the past, when they want reparations and free sh*t.

The Highway to Hell.

You must know that segregation is just peachy when blacks want it, it’s not peachy if they don’t. That’s the bottom line-no consistency of principle, just tribalism. That would be just peachy with me, if loyalty to my tribe wasn’t impugned as “racism”.

“Marxist, Mooslim, Kenyan, Steaming Pant Load Sissy Boy” wouldn’t fit on the signs....

Too late, property values slumped long ago,Riviera Beach is the ghetto of Palm Beach County.

Sounds like Bridgeport,CT.I passed through there Tuesday on my way to NYC.It's in Fairfield County,widely noted as the richest county in the nation but the city itself makes Detroit look like Shangri-La by comparison.

No, they get a pass because they are on the politically correct side.

Does this mean the Dixie Chicks have to go?

No way, a flaming liberal group like that will just change its name to the Obama Chicks or the Muslim Sisterhood.

[Organic Panic]

I have a feeling that 20 years from now EVERYTHING will be renamed to BArack Obama Who here is a Californian and remember when everything in the state was getting named for that scoundrel Caesar Chavez.

The Highway to Hell.

More like Highway Through Hell.

One of our high schools was renamed for Obama. Has a 40% dropout rate and of the ones who do graduate, most are functionally illiterate.

No way, a flaming liberal group like that will just change its name to the Obama Chicks or the Muslim Sisterhood.

Or how about 72 Virgins?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I would have to move if I lived there.

I was thinking The Road To Serfdom.

I was thinking The Road To Serfdom.

I like it. How about the Road to Perdition?

What a moronic name. President Barack Obama highway. I guess the people in Riviera beach aren’t very creative. I didn’t know there was a shortage of names used to name things. Nelson Mandela or Morgan Freeman highway would have worked also. LOL! Hey! Driving Miss Dixie highway would have been cool! Morons.

Dixie is a word used to describe the Southern states. Not segregation. What will be next? South First Street, Magnolia Blvd, Davis Street, Jefferson Circle? Will you people ever be happy? Can’t you find anything important to do with your lives? Must you get up every morning thinking you have to find something that hurts your feelings? Do you know how sick we are of you people. If you think it makes sense to change Dixie (My mother’s name by the way) to Obama (the architect of today’s racial problems)go for it. Silly is as silly does.
