Rename Democrat Party - most painful symbol of slavery, segregation, hatred & bigotry

The Issue

Democrat Presidential candidates like Cory Booker again want removal of statues & school names which honor DNC segregationist heroes like Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis. They rightly claim these names & images are painful reminders of a dark period in our nation’s history.

Now - please do the truly moral & decent thing, take the next logical step; rename the Democrat Party & pay disgorge the illgotten gains for its heritage.

The very name 'Democrat Party' evokes painful & horrific reminders of slavery, The Cvil War, Jim Crow segregation, Anti-miscegenation laws, KKK creation, cross burnings, marches, public lynchings, water canons outside schools, & continued policies of segregation in 2019 I.e., the worst kinds of irrational racist bigotry the USA has ever experienced.

The Democrat Party is literally the last mainstream USA institution with a DIRECT connection to slavery & segregation.

Please do the right thing and change the party name now & also disgorge all profits derived at the expense of black Americans.
