OT If your last name could be construed negatively - don't donate land

[MarAzul]

I would totally join a church that said to lynch barfos.

Get er done! I'm in!

Tbh there is a line that goes too far in changing things because someone got their feelings hurt.

I can't say i'm bothered by them wanting to change the name. Doesn't affect me and it's whatevs.

The kids and schools stopped calling them by Lynch whatever awhile ago. They started just calling it Meadows or Wood or whatever.

I find it interesting at all the outrage people are having.

Because things like this seem to be getting worse and worse.

And frankly, I find it extremely disrespectful to the family that donated the land in the first place.

If I die owning a significant piece of land, I'm going to donate it on the condition that the park be permanently named something awful, like "White Trash Acres".

While that was very nice of them and I get it, the schools today aren't even on the land donated by the family. I believe that land is where the dairy queen is on 174th and division.

I had to watch NASCAR when I was younger with my dad. I hated it, but I always rooted for Dick Trickle, just for the name.

There is also male organist Dick Hyman. I have a couple of his records.

So if John Lynch of the Broncos and now the Niners donated millions of dollars on the condition that the school be named after him... they should say no?

Case by case basis bruh. People of color are being pushed out to gresham, and the kids have chosen to not even use the Lynch name. They already changed one school to Centennial Middle School and I don't remember an outrage of this magnitude.

Times change, people change, it happens.
Not saying I don't think it's a little much myself, but I'm also not affected by the school changing the name and literally could not care any less.

A last name is just a last name. So John Lynch should totally donate money and ask for that. But he should also be open to other's if they find it offensive and take that into consideration.

I'm just so tired of people being sensitive to words... and not insults or foul language.... I mean words.

The radio is blanking out words like "sword" or "knife" it just boggles my mind.

That poor Lynch family. I hope black people never have to go through anything as terrible as the PC Revolution--it's claimed so many victims!

Well obviously death by hanging is a totally new thing... right? Hasn't been around for thousands of years?
