Yale University was Named After a Slave Trader

[Desperado]

So what is worse an American Fort named after a confederate General or Yale University which was funded by and named after a slave trader Elihu Yale

Should Yale rename itself? Founding benefactor Elihu Yale was slave trader | The College Fix

Yale University recently announced the creation of a “Committee to Establish Principles on Renaming.” It’s charged with articulating “a set of principles that can guide Yale in decisions about whether…

The state of Washington was named after a slave owner.
They should change their name to Chazistan.

We have no choice here. Level the buildings and kill all the alumni. We have to preserve the purity of the movement.

Penny Lane is about a lane. The Rolling Stones’ Brown Sugar on the other hand:

The problem with the Rolling Stones' 'Brown Sugar'

It's time for the Rolling Stones to retire "Brown Sugar," a song glorifying slavery, rape, torture and pedophilia.

This is getting fucking ridiculous. When are people gonna get over the fact that slavery existed? Yale is named for Yale because he funded them! Harvard was named for its benefactor, as well. Washington, Jefferson, etc. etc. owned slaves; it was legal and it was rich and influential men who were the movers and shakers that did big things we honor people for. No one is honoring Yale because he was a slave trader. The Washington monument and the Jefferson Memorial aren't there because those two owned slaves. It was part of their businesses. Slavery was so entwined with American life that it took a four year Civil War to unravel it. NONE of these people deserve to have their statues taken down or their names taken from buildings. Even Columbus, who was a total creep, DID discover the Bahamas, which in turn led to the discovery of the continents directly to their west. It was his THEORY that sailing West would land you in India that Columbus is famous for. Took a lot of balls to test that theory, sailing into the complete unknown far from any help. THAT is why he is honored.

If people are so fucking offended by these men who achieved important, planet changing events, they can take a Xanax. It's what they need. SLAVERY DID INDEED HAPPEN AND PEOPLE DID INDEED PARTICIPATE IN IT AT THE TIME. Get. The. Fuck. Over. It.

Damn............I liked that.......

Well, this is very troubling. There is only one thing left to do....and that is to change the name
of Yale U. The only appropriate name I think that could calm the outrage is 'Black Lives Matters University".

This is true. At some point it becomes ridiculous. The confederate statues I can understand the rationale, but beyond that it all starts becoming ludicrous.

I'm thinking that the ultimate plan is to get rid of the police and install their own
law enforcement, they can call it the Thought Police. lol

Martin Luther King, Jr., was a womanizer. Perhaps wives across America should be offended that he has a statue and tear it down.

It got ridiculous when they were tearing down the confederate statues....period. The foot is in the door and now we have a slippery slope.
