It’s the perfect name for DC. It reflects our population, our African heritage, and celebrates our self determination. The name itself even MEANS self determination.


White people might have trouble pronouncing it, but F them.

If can pronounce Dun Laoghaire, I can pronounce anything.

So you too will ignore the fact that the native peoples were here first?

Washington was built by slaves from Africa, not indians. So the new name should be reflective of who labored to build it.

Don’t use the Latin-derived word “Africa” or call the native peoples “Indians”.

Oh, F off.

And the “F” word is derived from the Anglo-Saxons.

If we’re going to change the names, we should also make sure to eliminate any men who were wife-beaters or rapists.

Or any men who supported sexist laws on voting rights, etc.

Washington was built on land that was stolen from the native peoples. Sad that you will not recognize their prior claim to further your own agenda.

The indians weren’t doing anything with it. Show me something they built? Point to a building the indians made. You can’t. Black slaves from Africa built DC. Under the whip of a overseer. Black hands put up the stones that made the Whitehouse and the Capital. Not indian hands. So it’s only right that Black people should pick the name, not indians. There aren’t even an indians around here anyway.

There was more European and free black labor than enslaved contributing to the building of the White House, Capitol, and all of DC. Don't keep rewriting history.

Hey! Some lady mashed up the pulp paper that the Constitution was written on and signed. So she is the one responsible for our rights, not the white dudes who debated, authored, edited and signed it!

What's next? Was Amerigo Vespucci a slaveholder? Was he a big meanie?

It's the term used for people awaiting trial who were arrested For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.

Yeah. Well. Considering that the US is the offspring of England, I suggest that a silly name from African holiday isn't the winning ticket.

from fake "African holiday"

That’s an entirely different subject, but an entirely valid point. The constitution should be replaced anyway, with something more reflective of modern values, not the pontifications a bunch of dead rich white slave owners.

It’s worked well for 230+ years, producing the greatest nation the world has known. Pretty smart dead rich white slave owners, I’d say.

If you’re going to change the names of ANYTHING, then DO NOT replace them with different heroes. Change them to geographic landmarks or features. “Swamplandia” or “Pawtomack” or something. Naming after new people just begs for flaw-finding in the replacement.

New name, “Metrocity.” Say it like Megamind.

There is no point in changing the name. This is the dumbest thread ever.

He was a slaveholder. Nice set up.

From Wikipedia:

Vespucci wrote his will in April 1511. He left most of his modest estate, including five household slaves, to his wife. His clothes, books, and navigational equipment were left to his nephew Giovanni Vespucci. He requested to be buried in a Franciscan habit in his wife's family tomb. Vespucci died on 22 February 1512.

Shall we change the name of America?

Hell yes! Also South America, too. What should we rename them?
