I received this email this morning.
"You have not gotten frothed up yet this morning
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A rally is scheduled to take place in Nashville to save Rep. John Lewis Way.
The road was recently renamed to honor Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights leader and one of the 13 original “Freedom Riders.” He led the historic lunch counter sit-ins that led to Nashville becoming the first southern city to start the desegregation of public places.
Now, Tennessee lawmakers are considering a bill that aims to rename parts of Rep. John Lewis Way to President Donald Trump Boulevard."
To which I replied:
"No froth. That's just the same trolling, jim crow bullshit as was putting up confederate hero statues in the Twentieth Century. If Tennessee lawmakers want to sign up for that, let history judge them. I think if I were in the black leadership structure in Nashville I would propose that dishonoring John Lewis by concatenating his name with an unindicted criminal and traitor is such a heinous act that the Tennessee legislature should instead name the whole thing donnie the dildo way.
