Re: Highway Signs Replaced in Texas

But you know Joe. I don't mind that. That's just human nature and fully explainable in addition to being actually quite humorous. But what I have complete disgust for are those who deny their heritage today and are afraid to defend it in public or be branded a racist.

I spoke with a man the other day that was named after his grandfather the famous General Garnett that lost his life at Gettysburg. I said," You should be very proud to be named after that man." He said," I am ashamed to be named after a man that had large plantations and listed his slaves along with his livestock." I said,"You don't deserve that name and are not 1/10 of what your grandfather was so change it and give it back to someone who does."
