I assume the push for a name change will be coming soon.

quote:

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - In a 5 to 1 vote, Jackson city council members have authorized the mayor’s administration to relocated a statue of Andrew Jackson that rests on City Hall grounds.


quote:

During comments council members talked about Jackson’s record as a slave owner as just one of the reasons the statue should be removed.


quote:

The city will look into finding a “more appropriate place for the statue.”

Maybe they can change the name to something more fitting like Stalingrad or Leningrad.

They should find a more appropriate place to put people thinking his statue should go.

Good we've been giving Jackson an African nickname already. Might as well make it official.

Pretty sure they'll go for a lot of vowels and a few oddly placed apostrophes

Just put up a statue of Action Jackson, and say the city is named after him.

At this point, I think Tito is willing to stand there in gold body paint if they will pay him enough.

They could glue this Lenin statue back together to replace Jackson.

Yeah cause removing the statue will fix that shithole. Mayor chumbawumba and the rest of his african marxist crew need to get the frick out of this country.
