But if the statues and building names in southern states really bother you that much (they don't), you're more than welcome to leave.



What’s funny is that in New Orleans all the people go support the statues did leave the Parish.

Strom keeps changing to Storm when I type.

Anyway, he was a big ole racist moron. He probably brought in a lot of $$ though, so they put his name up in places.

BOTs have announced they will not consider renaming The Strom at the meeting Monday.

Most of them are so ancient they were probably alive when the civil war happened. Fossils.

No they didn’t. You have no way of knowing this, retard.

What is funny though, is crime rose substantially after removing them

You're from Aiken right? Should the town be renamed because William Aiken was one of SC's most prolific slaveholders and rice planters?

Agreed. Now explain why the Left and the Democratic Party are hell-bent on returning us to a segregated society at warp speed?

The man had a black daughter and went around promoting racism and passing racist laws. If there was ever a dude that deserved a nut punch it's him but since that can't happen removing his name is a good start.

If only there had been a book, telling people to not be shitty to other people. Shame the Bible only came out in 1973.

So the Jefferson Memorial should be blown up? He had a black daughter and was a slaveholder.

So Hitler should have a statue? He didn't kill ALL the Jews.

I think It speak more to the culture of the south.

You can’t really blame the Democratic Party when this guy bailed on it when they signed the Civil Rights Act


The other segregationist senators did not bail on the Democrat party. Strom was the only one. It was Democrats including Al Gore's father that filibustered the CIvil Rights Act.

trying to link 'the south' to racism rather than the Democratic party is the standard trick Democrats use.

They still use the Democratic Party name despite it being Tillman, Strom, etc party.

You're not going to convince him of anything. He seems to be one of those "my opinion is the only opinion and I'm always right" kinda ppl.

Comparing Hitler to Thomas Jefferson? Sounds about right for you and the SJW crowd. This has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with tearing down the foundations of Western civilization.

I've defended you for years on this forum. But count me out when you quote someone who compares Thomas Jefferson to Adolf Hitler. Frick that and anyone stupid enough to believe that nonsense.

Did these people that buildings are named after donate the money for the building? If not, get rid of the name. If they did donate, then no way the name should be removed.
