Shitty names. Could have went with the street names where the parks are located, but that makes too much sense.

Doesn't surprise me. I was in Charlottesville recently and the campus makeup struck me as very pro-SJW.
It's actually extremely WASP-y and fratty for the most part

Wouldn't this type of obvious pandering be offensive to some Blacks? It's public shared space affirmative action for the purpose of zipping some lips.

The local population (non-student) does tend to vote blue.

Lee Park will be renamed Emancipation Park, and Jackson Park will now be known as Justice Park.

You have to understand - heatwaves in other parts of the country are often strong enough to melt even distant snowflakes.

Any park from this point forward will have to be named after a non-white person. Those are the rules.


White folk had a gun run of naming stuff. Let the other races have a few decades.

You carve a nation up out of the wilderness through sheer force of will, you get to name shite. Those are the rules.

I'm not sure whose "side" is best supported by this point.

Travon Marten "Skittles & Iced Tea" Park
Alton Sterling "CD Man" Park

Everyone should agree that these are real heroes that need to be honored.

I live in VA and have been to Charlottesville many times and never heard of these parks until now. UVA is full of Yankees and SJW's.

And now the healing is done. Crime will stop. All can unload the oppression.

Name it what you want. Nothing will change except the next excuse why it is all f'ed up.

Be responsible for your actions. You are where you are because of you, not some park name or a statue of a dead white guy.
