The Alexandria City, VA Council discussed what will go into three renamings per year for streets with Confederate references.

First they came for the sports teams and military bases...
Democrats trying to erase their history again.
Sometimes I wonder...what would today look like if General Lee and the Confederacy won that war? An interesting speculative exercise.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Exactly. I actually think these renamings should go further. Every single street, monument, building or other landmark that is named after a Democrat politician who was in office before 1965 should be renamed.
When will they rename anything associated with Jews? Just because you don’t like the history, didn’t used to mean to bury it.
Very soon, even Orwell will be wiped away. Who is that?
This is the kind of society this NWO intends to create. We already have a model in place.
Watch this and see if you recognize familiar things happening now.
These assholes.
Excuse my French.
Alexandria is a very old town associated with our colonies and the Founding.
Too bad, that the Lees were a VERY prominent family of VA long before Robert Lee led the Confederacy, and basically ended the fame of the name.
Many of these others are likely NOT named for “Confederacy” but just for the prominence of people well before that.
These communist bastards know that, and this is a great way to erase and ignore ALL of our history. Which, BTW, is glorious and commendable.
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.
No, they are communist America-hating TRAITORS who are trying to slander and libel EVERYTHING about America.
It’s been going on all my life.
Don’t be fooled. This is not just about the Confederacy. This is the camel with nose in tent.
Wrong.
Everything named after MLK and the other few black heroes should be renamed.
I wonder how these turd smokers find out which Lee that street was named after. Robert E. Lee, Richard Henry Lee, Sheila Jackson Lee, Spike Lee, Pinky Lee or Brenda Lee. The azho parasites living off this country have way too much free time on their hands and very little going on inside their empty skulls.
“. . . before Robert Lee led the Confederacy, and basically ended the fame of the name.”
Robert E. Lee did not end the fame of the Lee family. Sorry to disagree.
Will Holt Collier be next?
My town still! Has the intersection of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis.
what if there had been no war?
slavery would have eventually ended in the Confederate states without killing 620000
Well, they have an area with names like Pickett, Pegram (divisional commanders), Owens, Naylor, Mansfield, Latham, Rutland, Pelham (artillery battery commanders) and others. They have a lot of work cut out for them.
These re-namers are simply miserable excuses for humans that need to be placed in stocks in the public square for about 30 days.
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.
Stick a fork in America... It’s done.
