Guess we need to change a lot of names around here...

[CosmicCowboy]

If we are going to purge our town of names of slave owners and those who advocated and advanced slavery we have to start at the top. Bexar County, San Antonio, and even the Alamo were named after a notorious slave owner. As viceroy he oversaw the subjugation of hundreds of thousands of slaves.

[CosmicCowboy]

Hmmm. Guess Valero will have to change their name back to Shamrock.

[Spurminator]

Okay, sounds good.

[Pavlov]

Just traitor statues and schools. Stop crying.

Just traitor statues and schools. Stop crying.


It was never about them being traitors.

I'm not crying, snowflake. Just making an observation.

[Pavlov]

It was never about them being traitors.Correct, the statues weren't erected because they were traitors. They were erected to stick it to the blacks.


Im not crying, snowflake. Just making an observarion.You're being sensitive and passive aggressive.

Did you shed a tear, CC? Darrin?

[CosmicCowboy]

No. I can think its as dumb as the snowflakes who advocate it but I'm not particularly emotional about it.

[Pavlov]

No. I can think its as dumb as the snowflakes who advocate it but I'm not particularly emotional about it.You're sensitive enough to start a passive aggressive thread about it, ma'am.

[CosmicCowboy]

Lets just change all the school names to PS-1, PS-2, PS-3 etc and be done with it. Cheerleaders can wave their pompoms and yell "go pissers!!!"

[CosmicCowboy]

You're sensitive enough to start a passive aggressive thread about it, ma'am.

Just pointing out the lack of rational thought from snowflakes like you.

[Pavlov]

My pretty conservative hometown had place names for the high schools. Looks like a good way to go tbh. The naming of things after people borders on fetish.

[Pavlov]

Just pointing out the lack of rational thought from snowflakes like you.You're just being pissy and resentful and it's hilarious.

Just saying our fucking city is named after a vicious slavery promoter. Where exactly does it stop?So emotional. :cry

I'm fine with working on the traitors first. I'm glad the larger conversation pisses you off tho. Reassuring.

[Pavlov]

And btw I think the Austin government is not being strong enough in condemning the vandalism of the Lee and Davis street signs up here. The process to change them has already started. Quit being dicks.

[CosmicCowboy]

So emotional. :cry

But if your only problem is you think some people are stupid, you don't really have a problem with all the changes themselves -- so thanks for your tacit approval.

so it is ok to change a lot of things just because some one is offended?
do we vote on the names now and put them in place?

where does the SUPIDITY stop?Well, yeah -- we do vote on the names indirectly. Elected representatives and all.

Why are you so offended by simple name changes?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

All of statues being taken down are Confederates. Now we have the resident dimwit club trying to expand what is being taken down so as to change the narrative.

This of course is the same narrative being bandied around by alt-right media. Dimwit is as dimwit does.

Sam Houston rebelled against Mexico not the Union. Do try and keep up.

The issue is not that they were slavers the issue was they rebelled when it came time to end slavery.

Luckily we whities won though and we get to hold off on the minorities and SJWs completely ruining our lives for a few years yet. Pretty relieved myself

[FuzzyLumpkins]

It's never been about being traitors. It's about slavery.

You struggle to speak for yourself. You don't get to define your political opponents. If it was about only slavery then you would see people looking to do what you are claiming.

Instead the issue is the people that rebelled to preserve slavery. I get that nuance is tough for you but you're being pretty obtuse on this issue and showing a lack of independent thought.

[Pavlov]

Jefferson not only owned slaves, he literally fucked them.When was he a traitor?


It's never been about being traitors. It's about slavery.The confederate statues and place names are about sticking it to the blacks.

You're going to have to provide some evidence it would cost billions. And if that's your only complaint, it's a decidedly weak one. Names change and maps and GPS devices are constantly updated regardless.

Lol.

No it's not. They are confederates. The line is the one between confederate and not confederate.

Confederates are people that rebelled when slavery was coming to an end. The KKK and similar white supremacists erected statues celebrating them in the early twentieth century. Those are the ones being taken down.

Lol.

CC and Darrin, give us the positive reasons you want to keep all the confederate statues and place names.

[ducks]

why do you want to change history

[Pavlov]

why do you want to change historyYou know what, Austin took all the confederate statues out of the mall at UT and I still know there was a civil war!

It's amazing.

I will go so far to say that even people in places with no confederate statues or place names at all know there was a civil war -- and that absence changes history not a whit.

[CosmicCowboy]

I have no reasons to keep them or get rid if then. I do think the snowflake hysteria against them is just a further sign of the pussification of the US like safe spaces, etc.

[Pavlov]

I call bullshit. You wouldn't get this worked up just for that.

[spurraider21]

Jefferson not only owned slaves, he literally fucked them.
Jeffersons place in history extends far beyond slavery. He penned the declaration of independence. Was big on religious freedom. Was our first secretary of state. Powerful advocate for states rights and co-founded the party to oppose federalists. He orchestrated the Louisiana purchase.

His impact on our history extends so far beyond slavery that it's entirely disingenuous to throw him into the discussion. Robert E Lee is primarily known as the general of the Confederacy who's primary purpose of existence was the preservation of slavery.

It would be pretty awesome to have a Sally Hemings presence somewhere in the Jefferson Memorial and some context explaining their relationship, such as it was, and the fact that Jefferson's blood flows through African Americans to this day.

40 foot statue of anonymous confederate but up by white women when blacks couldn't vote? That can go.

I'm not expecting you to explain much more after you totally didn't get angry.

And actually your kids didn't go to high school at Lee because now that they've changed the name it means there was never a Lee High School. I hate when history get erased...

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Your words chumpdumpster. You dont have any beef with slave owners, just actual participants in the civil war.

This is what I was getting at about you struggling with speaking for yourself. You really suck at speaking for others.

I have no issue with the Union side of the war. I do take issue with Johnny Reb though. They tore the country apart so they could keep their slaves and saw over 600k people die as a result of it. They deserve no honor whatsoever.

I do find it amusing that you struggle to support the works of 20th century white supremacists because you lack the capacity to think for yourself though. Those are the ones who erected the lion's share of those statues and monuments.

If you are so intent on history being preserved, you should look into the Jim Crow south and what precipitated the erection of those monuments you are so intent on keeping around.

[CosmicCowboy]

The seeds of the civil war were sown by the original country founders kicking the slavery issue down the road. The "add one slave state for every non slave state" bullshit perpetuated for the next 75 years just inflamed the issue.

It was a young, fragile union of states that broke up over the slavery issue and for the most part people just went with their state because they had more loyalty to tbe state than they did the federal government.

Actually he raped them. We should be honest about that and all the other history of the people who founded this country. But the difference between Jefferson and Lee is that one was a slave owner who did some horrible things but also some amazing things and the other is only noteworthy for being a traitor who fought to protect slavery. You surely can see the difference there, right?

Also, you're claiming a literal saint whom San Antonio is named for is on par with Lee? The Alamo is named for a tree. Your argument is....odd....

And yet we call it the Alamo. In any event, it's a historical site. Aushwitz is preseved too.

You've resorted to this ridiculous posturing to have an argument. You've resorted to comparing astronauts maybe offending someone at some point to people who devoteed their lives to defending slavery.

It's really not a tough sell to most people that if you're only noteworthy for being a traitor who fought a war in order to keep slavery around that you don't deserve to be memorialized.

The argument presented in this thread was literally that since we're changing some school names, we should stop naming any schools after people because no person is perfect.

You got a better illustration?

You're sensitive enough to start a passive aggressive thread about it, ma'am.

You and Dale need to go about 500 pages of rodeo spam fuck. Start now.

I think it's actually the slippery slope argument and multiple examples were given.

I don't really give a shit about confederate monuments , but I think some of them look pretty cool. But, if people really see these things as Hitler statues, I can see why they want them gone. I just don't remember any controversy about them until fairly recently.

So why post the same bullshit about it?

Slippery slope arguments are generally considered to be fallacies.

Stopping the naming schools after people is not stopping school names. It's stopping the naming schools after people.

You illustration was ridiculous.

wat?

wat?


Reasonable people: "N!gger is an offensive word."

Unreasonable idiots: "Fine, why don't we just ban words?"

That was his comparison for people saying to stop naming schools after any one person.

"Stop naming schools after people" doesn't mean stop naming schools. It's means just don't name then after people. PS1, PS2 are still names. Boring and plain, but still names.

His comparison was extreme and stupid.

LOL we've got the metaphor police on the job.

The comparison is extreme and stupid because the original idea is extreme and stupid.

[Spurminator]

In the metaphor, "n!gger":bad people as words:people.

Fairly simple idea, regardless of whether you like it or not.

Soon enough it will be "Duracell Middle School" and "American Airlines High School" anyhow.

Gotta sell naming rights when your high school needs a $70 million football stadium.

Dont laugh, that's where it's heading....i.e. part of the trend of wanting to privatize schools....

[Nbadan]

I just think decisions on monuments should be made at state and community level.

I remember when Darrin first posted in the forum, he represented himself as a libertarian... lol

Libertarians would want to tear down all the statues to everyone.

[Nbadan]

Soon enough it will be "Duracell Middle School" and "American Airlines High School" anyhow.

Lol Don't think it would be that transparent....

Did you guys know other countries used slavery as a means of economic prosperity? So glad America never did that! It could have led to a big fight!
