Yeah everyone sucks. I'd be ok with only making Fred Rogers statues moving forward.

His brother gets enough heat as it is and the mayor probably said to step down to lower the pressure. I'm sure he'll place him somewhere quieter but still paid

He’s so “useless and lazy” that he is resigning from his no-work free money job?

Believe me, I’m not crazy about the guy either, but this criticism is the one that feels lazy/just doesn’t really make sense.

That's how useless and lazy he is.

Well I would have cared as that would get pretty confusing with the existing Malcolm X Boulevard…

You don’t want a recycled number. Trust me

The irony of this statement is that it makes no sense for him to leave if he was actually doing nothing.

It def is ...

thanks for the clarification. Words matter.

Doing nothing must have been difficult

Yeah, I think although it sucks it's totally legal here to be racist.

Renaming streets I don't think is a major city priority except for the neighborhoods they happen in. I live in an area of NYC fighting to keep it's ethnic name, (we will most likely lose) but i wouldn't consider that newsworthy fodder for anyone outside my zipcode..

I care about the real material conditions of NYers and leaving space for every community to set up their own cultural milestones.

Would we rename chambers street? Should we rename the stock market. Whos racism gets to stay and whos is intolerable?

If the issue is "named after a racist person" its a drop in the east river.

I have clearly illustrated why Columbus crimes/myth goes way beyond racism.

Would argue she's a black nationalist

I guess words aren't your strong suit?

I think it's very newsworthy. Shows the blatant contradiction of politicians and those who support them.

it's just odd that your takeaway here is "naming more streets after racists doesn't matter" instead of "maybe we ought to rename Columbus circle if renaming streets is a priority"

Yeah, she could have named it after Malcolm X and I would not have cared but not someone who thinks white people were invented by evil scientists......

would you explain the point you were making, please?

Nothing wrong with people who have mental illness as I am not an ableist.
But which part made you diagnose me across the internet?

I assure you that I genuinely hope you break free if whatever you’re in. As for the rest… 🤷‍♂️
