COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - South Carolina's Democratic Party will no longer use the name of two former presidents who were slave owners in its name for an annual fundraiser.

The Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, which is scheduled for Sept. 30, will be renamed after this year's event, according to a spokesman for the SCDP. It was named after former presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.

A SCDP spokesman said the executive committee will deliberate and select a new name in the coming months.

Hey, they need a new name, let's help them out!

My suggestion:

South Carolina "Black Lives Matter and If You don't Agree You're RACIST" Party.

Just a small tweak ought to do it: say, a Davis-Jackson Dinner. That'd be Jeff and Stonewall.

OKOK, I get it, too, ah, "racist". How about Lincoln-Sherman?

Some people just can't be pleased...

Or name it after some other prominent Democrat like Governor Wallace, or Senator Byrd, or Stephen Douglas.

They should just follow Coke’s lead,

The NEW Jefferson/Jackson Dinner.

Followed by the CLASSIC Jefferson/Jackson Dinner.

NOW with more racism!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

How about the “George Jefferson-Jesse Jackson Dinner”?

Or maybe be more diverse and inclusive at the same time.

I guess Calhoun is out of the question.

Or name it after LBJ!

I vote for the Robert K. Byrd Dinner.

OK. The WALLACE, BYRD, DOUGLAS affair or dinner or
whatever it is. - Let them call it whatever they like; just
not “LATE TO” dinner. No one likes that.
