The idea that there are still parks and places named after Civil War Generals from the South

seems odd to me. Why do we still glorify these people? Glorifying people who fought to keep people enslaved? WTF?

Lots of delicious DUmmy savagery in this thread.

6. There's a huge memorial in DC named for a dude who owned hundreds of slaves.

It's called "The Washington Monument".

37. Well, everyone is grateful for your input.

Treason against a state is worse than owning another human. Got it.

We'll make the changes immediately.

15. Why do people celebrate Columbus Day?

Why glorify a man who committed the atrocious acts that he did?

197. I'll ask you again for the fifth time in this thread:

Should public parks and other public spaces be named after Confederate traitors who fought to enslave African Americans?

It should be an easy question for someone with progressive values and liberal beliefs posting on Democratic Underground to answer. Why won't you?

I think that the DUmmies have taken notice that conservatives are no longer intimidated by DUmmies calling them racist--the charge has lost its sting. They have now been reduced to calling each other racists.

The shoe's on the other hand now DUmmies. How's it feel?

Post by: Undies on November 20, 2012, 05:13:00 PM: I think everything named after an infamous racist bigot democrat should be renamed. We could start with JFK airport in New York and LBJ Freeway in Dallas. It doesn't have to be limited to the Civil War era democrats.

Post by: GOBUCKS on November 20, 2012, 08:24:27 PM: Here in red state hell, we still have the Senator Albert Gore interstate highway system, glorifying a bigot who voted against the Civil Rights Act.

What's up with that?

A tweet I saw the other day:

Irony - the opposite of wrinkly.
