Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 days agoYou neither agreed with what I said nor disagreed with what I said. You did not address what I said at all. I will give you one last chance, but I doubt you will bother:
“Mount McKinley” is “just a name” for what is supposed to be called Denali. Ask an indigenous person if they think changing the name of a sacred mountain to the name of a man responsible for one of them many genocides of their people is “just a name.”
Then ask virtually any black person if they don’t care about Trump and Republicans restoring Confederate generals’ names to military bases. Find out if they think it’s “just a name.”
So, since you’ve claimed you addressed it and all you keep saying is, “it’s just a name,” is your contention that Mount McKinley and Fort Bragg are just names and those people of color shouldn’t get so uppity about them?

Since you have completely hijacked this from talking about the Gulf, as I said, call it what you want. I’ll probably continue to call it Denali, because it’s just a name.
