Lynch

Post by kalm »

I wonder what Marshawn and Loretta think of this?
The national movement to change racially offensive names of buildings, sports teams and landmarks will soon touch a group of schools in southeast Portland. Lynch Meadows, Lynch Wood and Lynch View elementary schools will shed their "Lynch" before the upcoming school year in response to growing concern about the word's racial connotations.

The schools, part of the Centennial School District, were named for the Lynch family, which donated land over a century ago to build the first of the schools. But Centennial Superintendent Paul Coakley says many newer families coming into the district associate the name with America's violent racial history.

I don't think so. I think this kind of thing is going on all over.

The really nutty stuff is mostly concentrated in the northeast and west coast. The South has the controversy over confederate memorials, but very little (if anything) on this level.

The logical end result of all this name changing will be to rename all things currently named "Washington"...

I still chuckle when Ben Affleck flipped out when he discovered one of his ancestors owned slaves. It's an ancestor, not him. Look how HH Holmes ancestor is handling his legacy of being related to a serial killer. He has a TV series and is trying to link HH Holmes to Jack the Ripper, and making money on the relation.
