Guy who couldn't get a sandwich named after himself proposes renaming things honoring Thomas Jefferson

'Problematic', what a weasel word. Typical of the new virtue signaling, they want to ban things but only if others support them, they're fishing for a new lynch mob, throwing out baits. Give me someone who firmly takes a stand right or wrong and argues their case.

“The real reason I think there is a lot of pressure on this is the relationship between the past and present that we’re finding in a million different ways that racism isn’t some curiosity out of the past that we’re embarrassed about but moved on from,” Buttigieg said. “It’s alive. It’s well. It’s hurting people and it’s one of the main reasons to be in politics today is to try to change or reverse the harms that went along with that.”

Here's a word to the wise for little Petey Buttcheeks: actual, overt racism was gradually disappearing in this country until President Black Jesus Lightbringer came along and deliberately stirred things up. As for slavery, it was changed and reversed a hundred and sixty years ago, so fishing around to keep the legacy alive is nothing short of racism itself. If Petey Buttcheeks wants to address racism in this country, how about tackling the anti-white, anti-Jewish bullshite that's going on in the Democratic Party?

Rebecca,

So you're in agreement with Jon Gabriel's sarcastic take?

bruce,

He's not merely using an overused "weasel word", Mayor Peewee is, in fact, a weasel.

True Spiny, the 'shape shifting lizards' theory is a bit wrong - we are being overrun with shapeshifting weasels.
