DC residents call for racial revamp: Change name to ‘Black City,’ remove Jefferson Memorial, redesign American flag
"Welcome to President Obama’s post-racial America.
Taking their cue from CNN anchor Don Lemon, who suggested the day may come to re-think the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., some residents are calling for the landmark to be taken down.
But that’s not the half of it.
One resident is calling for renaming the nation’s capital to “Black City,” and another suggested that the American flag be redesigned — because George Washington and Thomas Jefferson owned slaves."
How will DC residents handle the fact that Obama's ancestors include whites that owned slaves and blacks who worked with Moslem Arabs to supply slave ships with cargo for the Americas ????
