Inevitable: Chicago Pastor Demands Washington Name be Removed from Park Because of Slavery Ties
Legal Insurrection ^ | 08/16/17 | Kemberlee Kaye

Posted on 08/17/2017 5:30:39 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

A Chicago Pastor is demanding George Washington’s name be removed from a city park because Washington was a slave owner. He’s also targeting a park named after Andrew Jackson....this is the natural progression of things — once you begin erasing historical monuments, there is no end. When it becomes wholly accepted to impose current values on historical figures and events, why bother with history at all?

He should give up all of his $1 bills, quarters, and nickels too, since Washington and Jefferson were slave owners.

The probing action to push us further begins.

The end game for these commies is to get rid of the constitution.

Here’s is how the progression will go.

Demonize founding fathers as racist
Remove any monument or statue of those racists
Change any name referencing them

Then logically, why would the country want to follow a constitution written by a bunch of racists.

Wasn’t there a Chicago mayor named Washington?

Died with his fizz in a bowl of chowder, IIRC.

Maybe he was a slaveowner too, who knows?

I wonder what he thinks about the apostle Paul who sent a slave back to his master?

Based on the body count of dead and wounded, what is the threshold for “war” versus an ordinary week in Chicago?

‘Washington’ obviously a racist. For the sake of sanity, let us start a movement to call for the renaming of Washington State and Washington DC and all their satellite namesakes. We will get those Redskins after all.

I think all blacks with the last name of Washington and Jefferson should have to change their last names. Maybe something like “Obama” or “Hussein” would be nice for them.

There have been 447 murders in Chicago this year so far, one approximately every 12 minutes. This is almost 100% blacks killing blacks.

And this twit thinks the most important thing for the city to do is to destroy the statue of our Founding Father and first president, George Washington, for owning some slaves, which was very common and widespread back in the 1700's?

Where are his priorities? He should be demanding the city of Chicago put a stop to all the violence and killing against blacks that occurs every single year.

But everything to these people is about racism. Removing our history will not change anything about race but instead destroy the country's history and heritage.

The reality is that hundreds of blacks are murdered every year in Chicago alone. Try dealing with today's reality, Pastor, instead of trying to act like getting rid of George Washington will change anything.

How long will it take to have all tributes (statues, buildings, street names, etc.) to Martin Luther King removed by the LBGTQ community because he was opposed to gay marriage?

I just don’t understand how all the SJWs can stand living in the slaveholder state of Washington or the “other” Washington, DC. :-)

Nope, they’ll just be called the Capital City Redskins.

You must mean one approximately every 12 hours. One every 12.35 hours (12 hours and 21 minutes), to be more precise.

You’re correct, I did mean every 12 hours and not minutes. Thanks.
