SJW pissed at the naming of the Navy's newest combat ship, the USS Jackson

So it was actually named after the city of Jackson and not Jackson himself. Yes, I realize that Jackson was named after Jackson but that's not the direct reason why they named it the USS Jackson.
quote:
The new ship, also designated LCS 6, was commissioned in Mississippi on Saturday and honors Jackson, Mississippi, which the Navy noted in a news release is named for former President Andrew Jackson. The ship is the Navy's third to bear the seventh president's name.
quote:
"This is totally appalling," said Connecticut NAACP President Scot X. Esdaile, who described Jackson as "a big-time slavemaster, pro slavery, the whole nine yards."
Esdaile continued, "Amazing how we have an African-American president and the U.S. Navy slipped this thing through. I think it should be reconsidered."
quote:
Esdaile's sentiments were echoed by Chuck Hoskin Jr., secretary of state for the Cherokee Nation. Jackson put in place the Indian Removal Act in 1830, which forcibly removed Native Americans from their lands in the South and led to the harrowing migration known as the Trail of Tears.
"For our government to hold Andrew Jackson up to some reverence today, given our nation's better appreciation of American history today than generations ago, is very troubling," he said. "For the Cherokee people, Andrew Jackson represents the period of Indian removal," a legacy of "trauma" and the "brutal act" of evicting people from their lands.
quote:
"As we welcome USS Jackson to the fleet, we are reminded of the importance of the partnership between our Navy and our nation's shipbuilding industry," Mabus said. "We also celebrate the lasting bond this ship will share with the great people of Jackson, Mississippi, as it sails the globe, providing a presence that only our Navy and Marine Corps can maintain."

In 1814, we took a little trip,
along with Colonel Jackson,
down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon,
and we took a little beans,
and we caught the bloody British at the town of New Orleans (Chalmette).

They won't be satisfied until every ship is named the USS Rosa Parks 1, 2, 3, and so on.
I mean, MLK did way more for this country than Jackson did, right?
Jackson didn't defend against the British twice and pay off the national debt, right?

We should load these people into the USS Jackson's cannons and fire them into the sea.

The fad is mad with liberals, since they don't have jobs or purpose in life.

It's no wonder black males are more susceptible to heart disease. Everything offends them.

Besides the UCONN basketball team, are there even any black people in Conn?

I don't know what they're so mad at, native Americans have casinos.

Y'all need to settle down in the back of the bus.

Every black person in America that is offended by this should take every $20 bill they have and send it to me. I promise I will destroy it to help erase Jackson's legacy from this nation
