Navy Renaming Ships That Were Named For Racists

[caelric]

failric trying to figure out how Democrats renaming a ship named after a racist makes them the REAL racists:

Yep, confirmed. Taernath is an utter retard.

This is incorrect. He’s a reasonable poster. If something appears to be hyperbole he calls it out. I have to agree that you’re really stretching it here.

Again, if today's standards are being applied to people from the past - then remove them all.

Tear down the Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln (apparently?), memorials.

Tear down the White House, tear down New York, tear down everything you currently own and have.

Slavery, slavery, slavery.. We all know it was bad - but that was how people thought in the times. That doesn't do away with all of their accomplishments in other areas.

You like Rome? Fuck that - they had slaves - destroy it all.
You like London? Fuck that - they had slaves - destroy it all.
You like Morocco? Fuck that - they had slaves - destroy it all.
You like Beijing? Fuck that - they still have slaves - destroy it all.
You like your food? Fuck that - food was at one time picked by slaves - destroy it all.
You like your nice shirt? Fuck that - the materials were picked by slaves - destroy it all.
You like your new Air Jordans? - Fuck that - they're made by slaves - destroy it all.

Etc., Etc., Etc.

Fucking dumbasses. And humans will REMOVE IT ALL! in the name of CARING!... and just repeat it all again.

Odd how in every single article or story pushed about race these days... no mention at all of the Civil War - you know.. the one where we actually killed each other to end slavery? No, no... they only mention there was slavery - not the fact we killed each other to end it and evolve to where all humans are created equal. Not perfect along the way, but better than what history had known before. But fuck that fact.

And you backward ass racists want to categorize people again - just like it was... in slave times. Fucking idiots.

It's the name of a boat, man.

There is a difference between hundreds of years and 30 years. Jefferson has a lot better foot to stand on than a guy who died in the 1990s.

I don't care about the boat. What you don't get is it doesn't stop. Just wait, there are already calls for Jefferson to go. There are calls for Lincoln of all people to go.

But hey, let's just say fuck it and destroy it all. Meanwhile let's segregate people (safe spaces anyone?) - The fucking Democratic Party and the socialist wing (I won't even use liberal anymore because they've perverted what a true liberal is) - has bamboozled ignorant mother fuckers into actually creating and accepting people based on COLOR. How fucking dense do you have to be.

And what were John Stennis' accomplishments that he needs to be remembered for?

I have no idea. Never even had heard the name before. I guess, being a Democrat?

Honestly I don't think these ships should be named after congress people, I would rather they be named after fallen troops or medal of honor recipients.

I understand what you mean regarding race, I'm not a fan of the whole group identity over the individual one. I would be with you if this was a ship named after Washington, Lincoln, or Jefferson, but this guy was a unapologetic racist in our lifetime. I could care less if his name is removed, he's the type they should be going for.

So shouldn't be a problem then?
