When Are We Going To Rename Washington DC?

He was a slaveholder. Owned hundreds of slaves.
How do you explain to young minority Americans that their nation's capital is named for a white man that used to own people like them?
Rename it Columbia.
There has to be consistency, right? If you can't have statues honoring slaveholders then you can't have capitals honoring them.
Or is the line drawn at Confederate slaveholders, and American slaveholders are acceptable?

Well I certainly do find Confederate slaveholders more reprehensible from an American perspective. Patriot slaveholder>traitor slaveholder

We need to check out anyone named District and Columbia also. Got to be thorough. I've already checked Of. No one by that name back then.

If Columbus had simply owned slaves he would have been a much better guy.

Meant to talk about this in my original post, but I forgot to. The biggest problem with Confederate memorialization is that it was done with the purpose of enforcing and lionizing White Supremacy. Washington is definitely problematic, but passively instead of actively so. The DOC and other groups created those statues to tell you that the south, slavery included, was right.

Claim it's named after Booker T. and save millions on signage.

Rename it to Shithole.
I lived there for 5 years. It is the most accurate name possible.

It's all a part of the plan don't worry. One step at a time
Once the founding fathers are demonized we can't respect their legislation either, and the constitution will have to be rethought because:

With the right to free speech and right to bear arms gone the transition to globalism will be much easier to force on the American people

I find it funny that so many people discuss the removal of confederate memorials. As I was leaving my farm yesterday I stopped by a small confederate cemetery a few miles away. It was pristine. Grass mowed, no weeds or vines, no damaged or missing headstones.
And this is in Sumter county Alabama. While Sumter county is sparsely populated it has one of the highest number of black people. There is an elderly black man who lives next to the cemetery who came over when he saw me to see what I was doing. I remarked on the grass being cut and he said he kept it that way. When I asked him why he did that for these confederates he replied they were dead and had never done anything to him. And when he died he hoped someone would take care of his grave.
The graveyard is in Gainesville, I understand that is where Nathan Bedford Forrest surrendered. Just prior to his surrender his men tossed a cannon into the the Tombigbee river to keep it out of union hands. Years later it was recovered fro the river by the citizens of Gainesville and placed into the cemetery. The graves of the men there were injured at the battle of Shiloh and sent there to a local hospital.

If our brain-dead president gets his way, it'll be known as tRumpopolis for ever more.
