Re: Red Sox owner seeks name change of Yawkey Way
The most racist owner in the most racist city in the North...why would they want to whitewash their history
It's not like it was just yesterday that it was discovered who Tom Yawkey was or are they talking about Jean Yawkey She was a sweetheart compared to her husband...ya gotta be careful when choosing a Yawkey.

I call shenanigans. The last team to integrate had to have been based in the traitorous south, because the noble north embraced diversity and fully accepted African American people after the war.nolanvt wrote:given Yawkey's racist history.

It's amazing how many of our younger posters have no clue as to the complete chaos Boston was in the mid 70's...we in Richmond were shocked at the violence.WestEndHokie39 wrote:I call shenanigans.

No doubt but Richmond was serene compared to what was going on in Boston, it was brutal.133743Hokie wrote:1970s school integration in Richmond was nothing to sneeze at and had many up in arms
Most people in the counties were more upset at Merhige than anything else.

Re: Red Sox owner seeks name change of Yawkey Way
So when we get rid of all of the racist plaques, streets, buildings, monuments, etc. What's next? What is the alt-left end game? Will Baltimore be safe then? Will Detroit school children be able to read on their grade level? What is their dream endgame? All black cops? all black workforce? White slaves? what do they want ultimately- serious question?
