Rename White House. Black House? Brown House?

Post by screen glare » Wed Nov 18, 2020 1:00 am

After 200+ years of slavery, emancipation, Jim Crow, segregation, separate but equal, separate inherently unequal, affirmative action, 1 black president, segregated US military, integrated US military, red lining, segregated pro-sports, integrated pro-sports, banned inter-racial marriage, civil rights laws, traffic stop killings by police, systemic racial injustice, BLM movement, white privilege, and all things black/white across American history -

Is it time for a new name for The White House? A name absent of any reference to color?

How about only 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Or is that too much like 10 Downing Street?

How about The Nation House?

How about Liberty’s House?

Freedom House?

Fairness House.

The Equality House.

America’s House!

Are you off your meds again Jeff?
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

Now Rate This, you are using logic and as we all know there is no room for logic here.

Well, if you're going to think about renaming the White House, the direction I would go in sometime in February 2021, would be to sell naming rights. The proceeds could go to start paying down the national debt.

Just think of the bidding war that would take place. Potential bidders like Donepezil, Aricept, Exelon, galantamine and even Depends, may push the price through the roof.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Pay down the debt or for all the student loans they want to just cancel.

Would go far in economic stimulus at 1/10th the price.

I'll be waiting for my refund check for the two students I paid for without a loan....

Me thinks waiting is the key word here.

Thanks for my morning grin. This was good. Maybe there could be box seats and private suites sold, like at stadiums. They could have folks pay for The White House Experience Tour. Get your neck nibbled on.

Hair sniffing, you forgot hair sniffing. Maybe Aveda could sponsor that part?
