"I find it very insulting to change street names and a lot of other places to King''''s name. To me, he was a terrorist in his time. I was around then and can assure you that a lot of people felt that way. If we re-name something every time someone objects then nothing will have a name. A lot of people consider Columbus a terrorist, they actually teach that in school. Should we do away with anything named after him? How about the first 10 or so presidents, they all owned slaves? The list goes on and on. This political correctness is the most offensive thing of all!!!!!!!!! "

MLK was a terrorist? So, sit-ins are terrorism compared to burning churches and hanging blacks from trees? You were around then ah? And people found what exactly offensive? That blacks wanted the right to vote? Maybe ride on a city bus and sit where they want?

Thanks bob for exposing yourself as a racist swine.

It'''' s American history,right or wrong(yet to be proven).This cry baby tactic to get everything without earning it is the worst racism and it dividing this country.I am looking for one day states start to wanting to be be their own country apart from America. THIS RACISM TOWARD WHITES MUST STOP BEFORE THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE NAME OF AMERICA TO AFRICO(AFRICA AND MEXICO). NOW THERE VOTING FOR SKIN COLOR FOR A PERSON THAT CAN''''T PROVE WHERE HE FROM,WHAT SCHOOLL HE WENT TO AND LIES ABOUT HIS RELIGION,JUST AS THE MUSLIM RELIGION TEACHES YOU TO UNTIL YOU GET POWER TO DESTROY THE CHRISTIANS. WHAT ARE AMERICAN PEOPLE THINKING. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. THIS IS PROOF DIVERSITY WILL DESTROY A NATION.

You know what the ironic part of this story really is likely to be. That this once all white school that is now 50% black and failing probably had blacks batching and moaning about how they needed to have blacks bussed to these schools so they could learn better. Since we all know longer bus rides and school names are all the matters when it comes to a kid learning anything.

Byrd was KKK, period end of story. He was repentant like Clinton was after he found out about Monica''s blue dress, otherwise known as not at all. If he was a Repub former KKK member he could make monthly trips to Africa helping the blacks being killed by the other blacks and would still not be allowed to hold any political seat I assure you.

Re-name it after Thomas Jefferson or George Washington - so it would be named after slave-owning US presidents instead of just a lowly klansman!

Angry black man (who thinks Obama won''t do much)!

nObama4 - you''re disgusting and as racist as they come! No doubt a KKK supporter!

Correction:

I wonder if some Germans name a school after Hitler after some 135 years, if someone will be telling the Jews, "Get over it"?

You might as well name a school after Hitler as after Forrest.

In 1869, he ordered the Klan to disband because of the members'' increasing violence. Two years later, a congressional investigation concluded his involvement had been limited to his attempt to disband it.



So wait a minute, shouldnt he be considered a hero to Blacks? He did more to eliminate the KKK than the assinine NAACP or that h o m o Morris Dees?

Notice the school scored 2 consecutive F''s and is made of of 50% African American, the main detractors to its namesake are African American, my guess is they can not read, have no knowledge of history, which is why the school is doing so poorly.

demonsmurf Posted "My ancestors were enslaved by the Vikings AND the British... You don''''t see the populaton of Ireland whining for reparations for Scandinavia or Britain. They just GET OVER IT.
For god''''s sake it was nearly 135 years ago.. LET IT GO!!! "

-------------------
The reason that a lot of Blacks haven''t "got over it" or "Let it go" is because whites haven''t got over it or let it go.

Blacks didn''t stop being discriminated against simply because slavery was outlawed. Blacks were still segregated, denied jobs, education, housing, etc.

It wasn''t until the civil rights legislation of the late 60''s that blacks became truely equal under the law. And even after that Blacks have never been treated fairly. Granted a lot of progress has been made.

My point is this, when whites "Get over it" Blacks will do the same.
