Unreal: Chicago Names City Street After Terrorist

I knew I could count on you to not equally condemn such actions. Thanks for showing your true colors. Hypocrisy!

 

Israel's prime minister Begin was a stone-cold terrorist, everybody knows that. How many British soldiers did he blow up in that hotel? Not that American conservatives care....Begin's men also flew Messerschmidt BF-109s and shot down British Spitfires...

1. I'm opposed to both. However I see the issue of multiple monuments, streets, and buildings named after the founder of a terrorist group in the South a far bigger issue.

2. Did Nathan Bedford Forrest found the Confederacy? No, he found another group with a 3-letter acronym who went on to murder lots of black people.

 

I agree terrorism is terrorism and that no terrorist should have a public location named after them in america.

But someone like you would fight against renaming a Nathan Bedford Forrest High School after someone like MLK because "they were both controversial figures".

 

Oh, so that's why you're deflecting in this thread about Chicago naming a street after a Puerto Rican terrorist?

He didn't found the KKK. He joined it. Just like he joined the Confederate Army. You need to check your facts.

 

Want to bring up the KKK, how many bridges, buildings, schools were named after Robert Byrd? A known KKK member that Democrats kept in the Senate for over 50 years?

 

Thousands of lynchings in the U.S., running up quite a score for the Klan. More than previously thought. Run Forrest, run.

Nice try. I'm sure this attempt of yours to paint me as a racist covers just about every fallacy in the book. First, you never mentioned this controversial figure of yours. You just kept babbling on about a "Southern terrorist." Second, You never compared this secret terrorist of yours to MLK. If you want my blessing to make the switch, fine by me. I hold MLK in high regard. It's too bad his movement has been derailed by SJW snowflakes.

 

Byrd very publicly split with and denounced the KKK. He was never a member while he was part of the Senate.

Did Forrest ever condemn the KKK?

So do you or do you not support renaming building and other places named after Forrest, a terrorist group founder?

 

The KKK and their century of terrorist actions are the Civil War?

 

Ok, so the standard is that we can honor people who join terrorist organizations just not their founders?

 

Do you even bother to read anyone's post before responding?

Don't know enough about Forrest, but no I don't support terrorist of any type. Do you support all the things named after Byrd who only "denounced" the KKK because of political reasons?

Byrd spilt for reasons explained in his bio, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Byrd#Ku_Klux_Klan Byrd was still racist while a sitting Senator.
"Byrd joined with Democratic senators to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1964, personally filibustering the bill for 14 hours, a move he later said he regretted. Despite an 83-day filibuster in the Senate, both parties in Congress voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Act, and President Johnson signed the bill into law.[32] Byrd also opposed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 but voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1968. In 2005, Byrd told The Washington Post that his membership in the Baptist church led to a change in his views. In the opinion of one reviewer, Byrd, like other Southern and border-state Democrats, came to realize that he would have to temper "his blatantly segregationist views" and move to the Democratic Party mainstream if he wanted to play a role nationally.

 

Thanks,You made my point. From the link.See post #39
"United States Senator Robert C. Byrd (November 20, 1917 – June 28, 2010) represented the U.S. state of West Virginia as a Democrat in the United States Senate. During his tenure as chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Appropriations, Byrd secured billions of dollars of Federal funds for projects throughout West Virginia," many of which bear his name.

 

Yep. There are lots of (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s who don't have an issue with a fellow racist (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*).

 

I was simply correcting the false statement that you made that Forrest founded the KKK. He did not.

 

That's messed up.

 

Then when David Duke endorsed Trump and he disavowed it in minutes the left still brought it up as if Trump said nothing about it.

 

He was one of six.

And? Your point is moot here.

 

Joe Connor said it best; “The world is upside down here. What’s next for Chicago, bin Laden Boulevard? Charles Manson Court?”

 

But wait the KKK is not a terrorist group they was just trying to preserve States rights and their way of Southern life.

 

Nathan Bedford Forest ! Founder of KKK, his us that wrong?
