Mods pull if too controversial.
Mods pull if too controversial.
Sen. Byrd was not a KKK Grand Wizard. And that photo of him is obviously faked.
There is no need for any exaggeration when it comes to Byrd’s Klan history. Byrd was an Exalted Cyclops. So he was not just a local Klan leader. He was THE local Klan leader. And he said many filthy, racist things about black people.
Yet as you noted, Byrd has many buildings and roads named after him. And since he’s a Democrat no one cares about his past.
A Racist Ballpark?
What, they don’t let coloreds in?
There’s a ballpark named after a racist? Good thing our government has better sense.
Why there could actually be a Federal Courthouse named after a Racist.
Oh, wait....

A step in right direction to BAN the entire Democrat Party for their ties to Slavery and Racism.
They should name it after a drug dealer like Floyd
A suburb of Dallas, Texas is named “Euless”.
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.
Take all Democrats’ names off every public entity.
“Mods pull if too controversial.”
LOL! My first thought too...but it’s still here some 5 HOURS later.
