Memphis renames city parks that honored Confederacy

 Via Rob


The Memphis City Council on Monday voted to change the name of the city's Confederate Park two other parks that honor notable members of the Confederacy.

MyFoxMemphis.com reports that the council voted 9-0 to pass a resolution renaming Confederate Park and Jefferson Davis Park, located in downtown Memphis and Nathan Bedford Forrest Park, which is located a few miles away.

Three council members abstained from voting.

The idea for the resolution to change the name of all three parks emerged Monday morning, after council members learned of a state House bill that would prevent parks named after historical military figures from being renamed.

      I used to live there and I know what those blacks are trying to do there. they are trying to change and cover up history.

      The blacks have turned a once great city and a great place to live into a HELL HOLE.

      Folks, Memphis is a prime example of what happens when you let the blacks take over.

      :) Most unfortunately. As I've said many times, this just can't be the country where I grew up.

      "The blacks have turned a once great city and a great place to live into a HELL HOLE."

      Exactly right! When is white America going to wake the hell up? Go to SBPDL.com to read more about cities blacks have or are in the process of destroying.

    No shit Brock. Think we can sue the schools etc that taught us the history we really learned? Seems to have no basis in todays reality, and I am woefully unprepared to live in todays world. Man, I even believe in the Constitution,how could they have misled me so...?
