A North Texas man wants to rename sections of two local freeways that bear the name of a past Democrat Dallas mayor who was a prominent member of the Ku Klux Klan. He kickstarted a campaign to sway city officials into renaming the roadways to honor former President Barack Obama. African Americans, Hispanics, everyone, whites, should be insulted that we have a freeway named after a former Klansman, said James Dunn, a former teacher and black activist, according to CBS DFW. He started an online petition this week, reportedly, in response to the recent violence that broke out in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Certain portions of I-30 and I-35 in Dallas bear the name of Klansman R.L. Thornton, a Dallas banker and successful businessman who served as the citys mayor from 1953 to 1961. According to the Texas Historical Association (TSHA) Thornton was also a Democrat, a Mason, and a Methodist.

This is exactly what conservatives should be doing. Get the name of every Dixiecrat Democrat off of every single building, highway, road and monument. Long, Gore Sr., Fulbright, Ervin, Rayburn, Stennis, Johnson, Russell. All of them.
I therefore infer that he is himself a racist.
And then I read further into the article, and I find:
James Dunn, a former teacher and black activist
And I'm right. He's a racist. Probably also a communist, and probably also supports illegal aliens.
So can we now re-name all of the Robert Byrd federal buildings, bridges, etc.???
I’m all for that!

Another “Occupy” pretending to be alt-right
Renaming a public road after a notorious racist like Øbama guarantees the destruction of that roadway.
Well, there’s a bridge in NYC named for a womanizer and a Dem, the Robert Kennedy Memorial Bridge, I demand the named be changed back to the Triboro. Also out on Long Island is the Robert Moses Causeway. According to his biography The Power Broker, Moses’ racism would embarrass a klansmen. If the antifags in NY ever realized that I wouldn’t put it past them to demand the parkway be renamed for Colincnacer Ferguson, the LIRR shooter.
They should be renamed after Eisenhower the one who really started the civil rights movement.
Black activist priorities:
High unemployment?
High crime?
High drug usage?
High high school dropout rate?
High children out of wedlock?
High children growing up without fathers?
Nope, statues
Obama is the racist who spent eight years kindling these fires.
Let’s not forget LBJ.
Yeah but everybody calls it the Triborough
There is serious discussion in seattle regarding changing the name of the state of washington to obamaton.
Wow! West Virginia’s got a whole lot of renaming to do!
Rename every street in the nation MLK Blvd. and be done with it.
MLK is old school.....Obama is new school.
