Official "Fort Hood" on Facebook seems pretty pleased...

Dragonlady, I am not a white nationalist, so step off. I was stationed at Fort Hood with 1st Cav Div, and I am proud of my time and how the JAG took care of its soldiers and their families.

Are black soldiers in 1st Cav proud of Gen John Bell Hood and what he did to defend slavery?

Where did I say anything about pride in your service, or how you were treated? All I talked about was naming military installations after traitors.

Probably not. I am not proud of the atrocities by white CW troops either. Get off it.

So I queued you up. Get over it.

The name changes DO fix problems but not for the white nationalists and racists who cling to Civil War traitors' memories as somehow "heroic" instead of traitorous. That's the real problem. In an effort to make Southern white people feel better about themselves, the rest of the nation had to pretend that Southerners who lead their revolt were somehow "great" and should he honoured for their bravery, instead of reviled for their treason.

White children can't be taught the truth about slavery or the Trail of Tears because they'll feel bad about being white. What kind of idiocy is this? No concern whatsoever is ever shown for how black kids might feel about being consistently portrayed as stupid, inferior, or thugs? NONE.

Why are white people in the USA so incapable of confronting their past and their history? The rest of the world doesn't seem to have that problem. They teach about the Spanish Inquisition in Spain. The Holocaust in Germany. Colonization in Great Britain. Residential Schools in Canada.

You haven't even acknowledged the deaths of residential school victims in the USA, or that such schools even existed.

The pattern of oppression and denial is similar to that experienced in Northern Ireland.

John Bell Hood was not only a traitor to this country but one of the worst generals of the war

Why Trump would want to name a major military installation in his honor is beyond me

It wasn't Trump, dipshit, it was your fellow DemoKKKrat and Confederate, FDR.

Sorry Skippy
But it was changed for a reason and it was TRUMPS decision to return to honor a Confederate General
