I don't know who could have seen this coming (except for literally everyone).
After the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, civil rights leaders are calling on the state of Maryland to rename the bridge because, you guessed it, Francis Scott Key is a total racist!
Here's the Baltimore Banner:
The Caucus of African American Leaders has unanimously voted to ask that when the Francis Scott Key Bridge is rebuilt, it no longer bear the name of the national anthem's author.
The consortium of Civil Rights groups includes the NAACP, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women and others. It voted to recommend changing the name of the Key Bridge because it honors a man who enslaved African Americans and wrote lyrics that scholars have found "demeaned Black people..."
The caucus is now calling on Gov. Wes Moore and the Maryland General Assembly to rename the bridge after the late U.S. Rep. Parren J. Mitchell, the first African American from Maryland elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
You mean to tell me that the civil rights groups that promote the idea that black people should have their own national anthem hate the man who wrote the only real American national anthem?
You mean to say that civil rights leaders care more about the post-civil rights America than they do the original constitutional United States of America?
Those folks are "offended" that a bridge would be named after Francis Scott Key?
The groundwork for the renaming was laid just hours after the tragedy, when news outlets ran stories "examining" the life of the author of our national anthem and painting him as nothing more than a slaveowner.
Yeah, we all saw it coming!
While they were at it, the civil rights group also called for some other bridges to be renamed to accommodate modern sensibilities and political correctness/wokeness.
The caucus is also asking that the Senator Frederick Malkus Memorial Bridge, a beam bridge over the Choptank River in Dorchester County, be renamed for the late Gloria Richardson, a Civil Rights pioneer and leader in Maryland. The late Gov. Harry R. Hughes opposed naming the bridge for Malkus, who was resistant to desegregation in the 1960s and 1970s, according to the group.
RENAME ALL THE RACIST BRIDGES!!! THE REVOLUTION MUST CONTINUE!
