They haven't even finished recovery operations yet, but the AP is already moving on to declare the collapsed bridge in Maryland "racist."

"Key, whose family owned people and who owned enslaved people himself, supported the idea of sending free Black people to Africa but opposed the abolition of slavery in the U.S., according to the National Park Service's Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine.

Some idiots in San Francisco tore down his statue in 2020, so he's obviously a controversial figure!"

Rep. Mike Collins:

“Baltimore obviously won’t rename the new bridge after Francis Scott Key again.

So, any guesses on the new bridge name?”

I’ll posit a guess here:

The Freddy Grey Martyr Bridge

I mentioned this yesterday in another post. Wait until they rebuild, I can almost promise Maryland will not name it the Key bridge.

I’m wondering if the bridge will ever be rebuilt.

The feds have already said they’d send the money - most of which will disappear into the corrupt politicians pockets.

Reminds me of the high speed rail in California - 16 years, billions of wasted dollars and not a single inch of track has been built (was supposed to fully open in 2020).

I can see the azho in the White Hut naming the replacement bridge after the clown that wrote the “Black” National Anthem and making the bridge a “sacred” National Park for the Indians. The Black Looters Movement has the white National Anthem on the way out anyway. The Ass Press will be going all out pimpin’ this stuff.

My early money is on it being named after Harriet Tubman. There’s a Maryland connection with her.

I stated yesterday that when rebuilt, they will rename it something else.

Maybe name it for Joe Biden after he said he traveled over the bridge many times riding Amtrak.

They can name bridges whatever the hell they want, I will always make reference to the original names as long as I'm alive.

For example, I still use "Tappan Zee" for the bridge crossing the Hudson at Tarrytown and "Triboro Bridge" for the one that goes over the East River at Astoria Park (Queens).

If they are smart, they won’t waste the money rebuilding the ship target.

They could have the ship channel cleared in a couple of months, tops and the harbor will be back in operation.

My money is riding on it to be named “George Floyd Bridge.”

“... supported the idea of sending free Black people to Africa ...”

In some cases, that is the best solution. I’m looking at you Leticia James.
