Good god. I wasn’t born there but moved there in ‘78 at 14 yo. Sure we joked there were racist groups in nearby Davie, but Plantation was never rooted as a “southern Plantation”. A few years back there was a movement to rename PHS mascot Colonels who looked like ol Reb from Ole Miss but the compromise was to change just the logo to a red football shaped “C”. There was no secret shrine to the confederate or homage to cotton plantations in the history of city. What’s next? Book burnings and destruction of all films that might have offensive words and pictures?

I'm sure they'll want to change the Broward to something else too.

I do believe that will eventually happen. They removed his statue from the courthouse already. Which actually brings up that the majority of Presidents on currency were at one point slave owners. Hmm... what to do.....

If they keep building up steam and no one does anything, it emboldens them and it's gonna be pretty sporty by the end of the year. I graduated in Coral Springs and got out of there in '85. Don't miss it and have never looked back.

Are they also going to rename Columbus Ohio since they've been pulling down his statue too and every other city or town they do not like. :

How about these. Look at link. How about all of these. This is IDIOTIC by a bunch of DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS who as usual at every election time run on the same exact platform of RACISM and HATE.

Because they absolutely nothing else to offer. Except a senile old man that has no idea what day of the week it is or even where he is most the time.
I've never seen it this wide spread and it get's worse every year. Because this so called political party who now call themselves the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS PARTY keep stoking the RACISM and HATRED.

They are using murders of blacks as their platform to try to win an election. Oh wait I'm sorry. That falls into the category of RACISM and HATE. My bad.

Jackson County Oklahoma named after Stone Wall Jackson

Jeff Davis County Georgia. Named after Jefferson Davis

Jeff Davis County Texas

Jefferson Davis County Mississippi

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of ... al_figures

Here is the next list they will go after. Founding fathers that were slave owners. The DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS PARTY will be leading the charge too. The LEFT WING SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS are already going after Thomas Jefferson Memorial and the the Mt Rushmore Memorial.

They are wanting to put music singer statues and watch sports athletes statues up at state capitals. Also I bet you before it's over with black criminals that were killed because they were breaking the law. But that doesn't matter. How about the two innocient black officers that were murdered by the rioters. Yeah good luck with that.

Charles Carroll Maryland
John Adams Massachusetts
Samuel Chase Maryland
Samuel Adams Massachusetts
Benjamin Franklin Pennsylvania
Oliver Ellsworth Connecticut
Button Gwinnett Georgia
Alexander Hamilton New York
John Hancock Massachusetts
Robert Treat Paine Massachusetts
Patrick Henry Virginia
Thomas Paine Pennsylvania
John Jay New York
Roger Sherman Connecticut
Thomas Jefferson Virginia
Richard Henry Lee Virginia
James Madison Virginia
Charles Cotesworth Pinckney South Carolina

I know another long post :lol:

But you watch. I bet these things are coming :roll:

That's true. The reason I used the 1984 one is, well, look what the useful idiots are doing. And, I saw your other list of likely more to come, and I think you're right about those.

Got an email from the UF President saying he has banned the chant Gator Bait because the term was used 100+ years ago depicting black babies being used as lures for gator hunters. Although he claimed the chant was created with zero racism, he felt it was insensitive and banned it. It was started by a former black player to rally up the crowds and he is even petitioning to reinstate it. I had to snopes it and it was depicted but never substantiated as being true even tho newspapers were claiming it was true from 2nd hand statements (sound familiar?). It was started 25+ years after I went there but since my kid started there last year I been going to the football games and been a part of it. I think this white guilt thing is going overboard. One day they will remove race from DL and birth records along with sex.
