[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s all a political stunt. Why don’t they ever consider changing the names of Fairfax County, given that it’s named after a Slave owner? Because it would be too much effort, there’s other ways they can make a progrssive name for them selves [/quote]

It’s because it wasn’t named “Fairfax County” to enforce the redemption of white supremacy. You need to look at the timing and the motivation, not just whether the person enslaved people. [/quote]

Exactly right. This sort of whatabout-ism from Confederate sympathizers is just an excuse to deflect from the fact that there’s no good reason to name public property after traitors. Many founders owned slaves, but at least they helped found our country instead of betraying it.[/quote]

This is really funny. Of course the founding fathers betrayed their country (England). Now, they weren’t doing so with the goal of continuing to own people, but they did in fact continue to own people, and they did in fact rebel against their country as traitors. How is that so different from confederales? By the way, I am fine with the name changes, but this dichotomy people create to decide who to celebrate and who to vilify is really something. [/quote]
