Didn't you hear, minorities and social justice warrior type figures can be out on road signs and monuments regardless of what they did. Haven't you seen all the Che Guevera posters about? We only tear down monuments featuring white, heterosexual, males.

If you don't like those Che Guevara posters or don't think anything should be named after Malcolm X or Marion Berry, you are free to mount your own campaign to try and stop them. That's how it works. Or, you could go on doing what you're doing, which is to just keep your fat ass in your armchair with your sixpack of beer and shake your fist at anonymous people on the internet. Good luck with that.

Better idea: How about we keep the places named after Malcolm X, keep the places named after Jeff Davis, and grow up?

Right. And they should be free to do so. Virtually every important religious, business, political, etc... leader on earth has a mixed legacy. There are very few Ghandis and very few Hitlers in this world. For most leaders, it's fine to recognize the good, recognize the bad and try to move on and try do better ourselves.

Some are worse than others.

Most important religious, business, political leaders weren't responsible for the slaughter of over 600,000 Americans. Most important religious, business, political leaders of the modern world weren't hellbent on creating a white supremacist state that treated blacks as subhuman and chattel property to be exploited as the central economic machine of a nation. Those are not things that anyone should just gloss over with some glib "yeah, well nobody's perfect" in an attempt to just equate their deeds with anyone else's.

There's a pretty huge and stark difference where it comes to Davis and the leadership of the Confederacy as far as I'm concerned.

Did Malcolm X try to overthrow America? Was he ever convicted of a crime after his conversion to Islam?

Perhaps because Richmond was one of the capitols of the Confederate States of America and Davis was the President? You know, kind of like D.C. celebrating it's past presidents.

A defunct enemy country that only existed for a very bad cause for a brief but brutal 4 years and which has now been gone for 150 years. Should we put up a monument honoring Al Baghdadi, leader of ISIS? They are an enemy state as well.

Is Al Baghdadi the president of the CSA? Is the capitol of ISIS in Virginia?

Regardless of who he is president of or where his capitol is, WHY DO WE HONOR ENEMIES?

Has it still not sunk in to you that the CSA was an ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES?

What you don't seem to get is he has NEVER been an enemy of Virgina or any of the states part of the CSA.

Learn your history!

Please explain at what time in history was Davis an enemy of Virginia.

Jefferson Davis wanted to destroy the United States, tearing our country apart north from south, to preserve slavery. I can't BELIEVE there's anything named after him. What's next--Osama bin Laden Boulevard? OBL also wanted to destroy the United States.

There were several hundred thousand residents of Virginia who were not allowed to vote when Virginia seceded or later when Virginia yielded to the lobbying of the Daughters of the Confederacy to name highways and schools and erect statues to their anti-American heroes.

I have read my history and it says the CSA was an enemy of the United States, it says the CSA crumbled and died 150 years ago and for 150 years Virginia has been part of the United States. You still seem to think the CSA is alive and well and refuse to accept history.

Don't worry -- there will be a monument to Al Baghdadi in about 20 years when they take over theUS

While I agree with changing the name, one negative to consider is that this could be a large expense not just for taxpayers (changing signage), but for businesses (large and small) along the Hwy- changing letterhead, advertising materials, etc.

They could name it Jeff son D vis Highway. Just repaint the signs...save a lot of money.

Okee dokee

From now on we call it "Th' Cornfuderacy"

What I wanna know is who the fuck goes around talking about the Civil War so frequently that they have to have preferred terminology? Stuck in historical fantasy much?
