Here Is the List of Army Bases to Be Renamed-- Part 1

From the March 26, 2023,  "Army: Cost of renamimg  nine Confederate-named military bases  has nearly soubled" by Suzanne Downing.

**********************

THOSE who want it renamed should bear the cost of doing so.

That means that BLM, SPLC and NAACP as well as their white minions should pay.

Hey BLM and NAACP, Where Are the Marches and Protests After a Chicago Cop Was Killed In Line of Duty and Another Wounded?

What if it had been the cops shooting and killing the occupants of the car?  What would BLM or the NAACP have had to say about that?

Have either group sent condolences?

Have they condemned the actions of the people in the car?

And, I'm kind of surprised that SPLC has not come up with one of their famous lists showing times cop have been killed or wounded by Blacks.

***************************************

Meanwhile, the statistics for Chicago:

LAST WEEKEND:

13 killed, 74 wounded

WEEK IN PROGRESS (8/8 to 8/14):

12 killed, 80 wounded

AUGUST TO DATE:

35 killed, 184 wounded

YEAR TO DATE:

475 killed, 2306 wounded

You can get updated stats at the Hey Jackass, Chicago Mayhem site.

****************************************

Most of the wounded and killed were Blacks, shot by other Blacks in case you didn't know.  And, sadly, this is not just happening in Chicago.

Which is more of a threat to black people, a Confederate statue or flag, or certain other black people?
