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