    I understand what you're saying. All I'm saying is it should be a two-way street. If people want the name of a school to be of a black or a white person, just let it be done without any drama.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Was there any drama in the renaming of this Mississippi school? (not a rhetorical question)

    I am truly amazed that a predominately black school would have a name like that anyway. Why didn't they choose a black person who actually lives or lived in Mississippi like B. B. King, Oprah Winfrey, Mae Bertha Carter or Morgan Freeman?

    With all the potential for investigation of Obama's administration maybe they should wait lol.

    Boom. Stretch is a bit shorter after having had his legs lopped off by Cawacko. The response if any should be interesting.
    Does he go full racist or try and parse?

    Stretch had no such problem, he analogized Davis, the president of the illegal slave owner nation, with Barack Obama, first African American president of the land of the free.

    And yet you are "triggered" because a 98 percent black school has done exactly as you suggest. Im sure their are 98 percent white schools that would very much support the name of a black activist or notable leader, and I bet
    there are zero 98 percent black schools who would want to be name changed from say, MLK to Justice Taney.

    Note the distinction. You appear not to recognize or dignify reality.

    That I can't speak too. Would be interesting to know the names they debated and how they ended up choosing Obama. I believe this school is in a lower economic stratosphere. If the name of the school helps inspire some kids I'm all for it.

    He's the first black President. I don't think he did a very good job but ultimately if the name is used as inspiration for the kids then good.

    (Now I'm not suggesting we start naming all schools Obama, but when you have a school that's 98% black named after Jefferson Davis this is quite all right)
