Of course this is absurd, however, it makes about as much sense as all the other nonsense that is going on out there now regarding history, the tearing down of statues and demands for name changes.

[rxsid]

Lets see if the liberals of New York are ready to put their money where there mouth is....so to speak.

[Steely Tom]

They won’t stop with the renaming stuff.

When that doesn’t work, when that doesn’t make them feel better about themselves, they’ll want more.

Could well end up with some sort of attempted genocide.

CHAZ/CHOP 2.0

[Ed Condon]

I propose that we should abolish any and all names or titles
that anyone finds offensive, for any reason.
The first one I want changed is Clinton, Connecticut. I don’t
want a place to have the name of an impeached president.
Also, any place that has appropriated an “Indian” name, should be changed. Example, Seattle, Schenectady, Erie, etc.

[sauropod]

Oh no. Not absurd.

I cant wait to see di blabbio twist in the wind in front of these woke children.

[jetson]

What the hell, let’s just call the country the United States of Africa. Screw these hammer heads. Time to tell them to KISS MY ASSKY.

[KTM rider]

Well, by that reasoning Black Africans should pay reparations to Black Americans for rounding them up and selling them to French slave traders at the Barbery coast. White Americans rescued them and employed them at one of the most kind examples of slavery in the history of mankind and eventually set them free.

. Therefore Black Americans OWE the white people of America for setting them free from the horrors and despair of Africa.

. I will take my payment in gold krugerands or cash USD please

[Repeal 16-17]

I know your joking, but there was an attempt at such a name change in another State. In the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations there was a State constitutional amendment proposed by its State legislature in 2010 to remove "and Providence Plantations" from the State's name. The reason for the proposal was that the word "plantations" made people think of the antebellum South.

The People of Rhode Island overwhelmingly rejected this PC-based amendment. The vote was 78% against to 22% in favor.

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can’t say
People just liked it better that way

"History is a horror show for liberals, who only look to the past in search of grievances they can exploit in their remorseless quest for political power."

James II was an equal opportunity slave trader. After Monmouth's half baked rebellion, His Majesty, the Queen and many at court vigorously pursued receiving captives who were condemned to slavery or long terms as indentures in the West Indies. It became sort of a prestige thing at court to get some condemned rebels to be able to sell them as pure profit. These were good strong farmers from places such as Bridgewater, who were considered prime beef on the slave traders block in Bristol. Also a good many nice strong young farm girls were also condemned, sometimes for just wearing their lover or brothers handkerchief as a token of support. Lots of all sorts of white guys and girls from Scotland and Ireland and the west of England got to take a very long visit to Barbadoes or Jamaica. in the 17th and early 18th centuries,

[Songcraft]

No problem!   We'll just rename it in honor of the current governor there..."Old Dork".

[SkyDancer]

New Hampshire?

[oldplayer]

Ahh . . . York is a PLACE. The Duke was named after the place. NEW York was named after the OLD York across the pond.

[JudyinCanada]

Anyone who doesn’t want to participate in the American dream, to live in the country as it is, should be purchased a one-way ticket to whatever country they’d rather be in - I understand Ghana will take them. Just go.

I don’t know why I never hear anything but guilt from America about the past slavery. The whole darned world practiced slavery. It was the way things were at the time. One by one, countries abolished the practice. Why isn’t EVERYONE being raked over the coals for past ways that are no longer acceptable? You’d think America was the only country who used slaves. Heck, the North American natives used each other as slaves if they lost a battle.

The world needs one great big “Get Over It” day.....enough is enough.

[Andy'smom]

I’d like to see them try, it would be hilarious.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

To honor the sub-Saharan Africa home lands of the new majority, I propose New York be renamed New Niger.

[airdalechief]

Re-name it California.

[Polynikes]

Rename it New CHOP. Yeah that’s the ticket.
