Saw this yesterday morning. It's ridiculous and this is the type of shit ruining the country. The whole context is it came from a family with the last name lynch, there is nothing racial about it. It's insanity. This country is so dumbed down and sensitive over everything now
 
Careful everyone-------Don't say a word and don't look pissed---Big Brother is here.
 
The schools, part of the Centennial School District, were named for the Lynch family, which donated land over a century ago to build the first of the schools. But Centennial Superintendent Paul Coakley says many newer families coming into the district associate the name with America's violent racial history.

1. If I were descendants of the Lynch family I would sue for defamation.

2. Someone needs to add Coakley to the urban dictionary. Coakley: Having sex with with minority children. Then show Mr Coakley this and demand that he changes his name.

3. I wonder if someone has told former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch that her name is offensive to african americans?

wow good shit, you aren't a cuck dog after all, 10/10 post
 
That first article is dumb enough. Then we get the second.
"
Oregon State debates buildings with controversial namesakes"


"Other controversial namesakes include Joseph C. Avery, who founded the city of Corvallis and ran a pro-slavery newspaper and Amory "Slats" Gill, a former men's basketball coach accused of segregating the team."

Now coach Gill was a bit of a scoundrel, but this charge was not it. Changing the name of Gill Coliseum would be foolish.
Coach Gill had the first black player in the schools history, a walk on in about 1960, so how the hell can you claim he segregated the team? Black guys did not want to go to Oregon State for any thing. Terry Baker went to OSU, but there was no way known to talk his high school team mate, Mel Renfro into coming to OSU.

Coach Gill liked to hold player back from using their eligibility until after they served their Military obligation to get older players that way but accusing him of racial discrimination is unfounded.
 
My church used to be Lynch Baptist for decades, but changed our name for the same reason several years ago.

Poor assumption. It was changed for the purpose of removing a potential obstacle to ministry.
 
I worked at an insurance company and we had a customer named Ada Dick. Everybody, everywhere, should name everything after her always.

Linda: Where are you off to this weekend?
Brian: I have a meeting in Boston. I have to take the Ada Dick Memorial highway all the way up to the Ada Dick International airport. Ugh..... and when I get to Boston I'm going to have to get a rental at Ada Dick Auto.
Linda: I'm sorry Brian. That sounds like a clusterfuck. Why do you have to head up to Boston?
Brian: Some guy is going to pay me $800 dollars to eat his dick..... look....i need the money Linda.
Linda: At least the entire world will make sense to you after you've done it. The.. um... dick eating thing.
Brian: Make sense?! More like mocking me everywhere I go.
Linda: Look... um... I gotta go Brian. You want to get lunch with me when you get back? If you are still hungry after eating all of that di.....
Brian: Eat a dick Linda.

I just started typing and that just kind of splooged out of me.

Ada Dick was a real insurance customer of mine though.
 
They should change the name of the Minnesota Vikings because it's offensive to my Swedish ancestors.

I'm sure if had nothing to do with guilt and was more of a fear that people would take it literally and lynch them.

"The sign said to lynch baptists..."

Ok, let me try again.
What exactly tipped you off that the name would be an obstacle to your ministry?

Me personally, I knew the moment I heard the name of the church, before I even began attending. It was the first thing I thought when I found it. And while I knew the name was simply referencing the neighborhood, it didn't change the obvious alternative connotation.

As for the leadership who made the recommendation to the church shortly after we joined, I couldn't say.

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

Ah! I see it now.

This is the sort of thing that I usually have to defer to other people more in tune with this feeling thing. It took both of you to get me on board.
