Ideology enforcement at work - erase all parts of history that don’t conform to the present-day narrative. The leftist urge to control what people think is relentless.

Confederate street names????

What the ????

One fourth of my town’s streets are: South something - - -

South Main, South First, South Division, ... you get the picture.

Better rename them. Fast. DANG fast.

OH! And what is Google Maps going to do??? EEK!

I’m glad I live on West ‘xxxx’ Avenue.

But, you know, “West” is the next to go.

Myself and about half of all veterans from NYC were inducted at Fort Hamilton. There was a little sign outside the commander’s quarters indicating that it was General Lee’s home when he was post commander. They were proud of the fact.

“To honor these men who believed in the ideology of white supremacy...

If whites are not supreme, who is?

Only God is supreme. Ecclesiastes 3:19 says that mankind does not even have any advantage over the animals.

It’s high time to rename all the Chavez streets and streets named after socialists who
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Excellent idea...

Also may rethink all the MLK etal named streets & schools, they also ‘fought’ a system they thought was against their line of thinking....

FIRST we start with all the USN ships named after controversial types...

Chavez, Giffords, Murtha, Milk, Carter, Lewis etc etc etc

I am also not ‘fond’ of the Gerald Ford, George Bush etc etc and am willing to drop them if they drop my first group....

Of course renaming a ship is tantamount to putting the fizz back into the alka seltzer tablet after it has been exposed to water.

A+ answer.

I should’a said superior, but they don’t call ‘em white superioracists, but white supremacists.
