Rhode Island considers name change due to slavery connotations

What’s in a name? For the state of Rhode Island, years of acrimony over an official designation with connotations of slavery.

But change is brewing in the union’s smallest state, as Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo signed an executive order on Monday taking the "first steps" to change the state’s full name: "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations."

The "plantations" part of the name has come under increased scrutiny following widespread protests after the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

Yale and Brown University were named for wealthy slave traders who made gifts to the colleges and supported them. The names must come down, and alums must exchange their diplomas. Karma casts a wide net.

Why don't we make it voluntary to see how many with African or West Indies roots who want to go back for free and see how many want to go back.
I bet we won't get a single volunteer. just sayin

This attempt to transform this counrty to something its not will be stopped one way or another! Bullets or ballot box..we will find out in NOV! no way in hell the democrats will win (if they do they will cheat) So its gonna be hard to bite that bullet.They will pull out all the stops this time no hanging chads, no popular vote BS.
SO be ready for a revolution if these scumbags win anything. It will be a bad sign but id the zones of communist..its a very bad sign but obama did a good job stacking the deck for just whats going on now! Government and community orgs with foriegn interference. Liers deceiver is what the democrats are. Master of it and they have help from the same demon seeds across the aisle. Our freedom is under attack They hate TRUMP, n USA. We stand in their way. The nations faith is lacking any moral backbone.so thats not working for us.They need to keep us at each others throat but its all to distract us
Look around is that vice getter tighter? Anyone gone to jail yet id the pedos, theifs , subversives. I pray they are exposed soon

Facts don't matter to the Democrats and to this day they still play the black people as fools. Black lives matter created by rich liberal whites to make them feel that are getting something all the while being controlled by the elite.

A warning to all the democrats. Admiral Yamamoto 1941. All you have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill them with terrible resolve. Paraphrased. Your time is almost up.
