Get over it? I don't support honoring those who fought to keep slavery legal. I won't get over that.

Yeah get over it. If you remove everything from that period in out history, it will eventually be forgotten
along with the significance of it. That's why I say it's part of our history. It shouldn't be forgotten, no
matter how bad it was.

Based on what?

That some of the entries were in ball-point pen, to start with.

Ballpoint pens didn't become a thing until 1951

I never argued to get rid of getting "rid of everything". I said I do not support honoring people who fought to keep slavery legal.

I never argued it should. Just because there isn't a Robert E Lee boulevard doesn't mean that part of our history will be forgot.

Ballpoints have been around since 1888

Remove it, and it will be forgotten, and nothing but a fine print footnote eventually. Not in our lifetime, but eventually.
You don't have to support honoring the people. But, the First Amendment is pretty strong Amendment.
Also, changing the names back does not mean that they support slavery, or racism.
But, honoring THEIR military....again a First Amendment right.

No it won't.

We still know who Napoleon was.

LOL.

I’m waiting for Sheila Jackson Lee to change her own name. She’s named after two confederate generals!

I am waiting for Alvin Bragg to change his last name to Liberty like the Army fort was renamed.

 

[Meister]

No it won't.

We still know who Napoleon was.




LOL.

And why do we still know who Napoleon is?

 

[pknopp]

And why do we still know who Napoleon is?

History books. Historical movies.

Not because we named schools after him.

The legality of slavery was not even addressed until after the war was over and the Constitutional Amendments 13 through 15 were passed and ratified.

LOL.

There is numerous things named for Napoleon…cities even. Bad example

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I'm sure she was real.

The Diary was faker than shit, though.

Why does everyone with a shred of intelligence disagree with you?

Schools were named after him in other countries.
I guess they just aren't as fragile as those we have in our country.

Good for them. I don't know for sure but I imagine in Japan they have things named after Hirohito.
