As for the new name of the cemetery...

The White Guilt We're So Sorry We Bend The Knee And Beg Forgiveness And Promise To Get All Butt Hurt Over Anything That Could Possibly Be Considered Offensive Wait Who Is Washington And Lee Named After Oh We Totally Need To Change The Name To We Apologize For The Last 400 Years Of History Because Every Bad Thing That Has Ever Happened To Anyone Or Anything Is Totally All Our Fault Because We've Been Brainwashed To Believe That University And While We're At It That Stonewall Jackson Guy Really Needs To Be Deleted From VMI Too Because Reasons And Feelings That We've Been Programmed To Believe And Feel And By The Way Capitalism Is Racist Because We Saw It On Twitter Somewhere With A Hashtag Cemetery Presented By The Future Socialists And Communists Of America.

As for the town, the name should be changed to honor VMI's most outstanding graduate. Someone that the school, the town, & the whole Commonwealth can be proud of. Someone that sets the bar for the "New Virginia."

I suggest...

Coonmanland.

Lexington has been getting more and more liberal over the years.Almost like Charlottesville , but much smaller , and it's happened much slower it seems.
It's a damn shame to see happen.

With Lexington's history and legacy I do not understand how anyone living there would not be in awe.

How long before they move Stonewall's and Uncle Bobby Lee's remains?

This past Monday , the owners of the Stonewall Jackson Hotel , in Staunton , decided to remove the name of the hotel from all outside areas of the building. And are going to rename it , but say they haven't decided on a new name yet. It was built in the 50's I believe , and has always has a large neon sign on the top floor , Its even dark now , no longer glowing .

When does this garbage stop guys ?

Seems to me, considering context of the times, the man was a saint. Black Lives of the time thought highly of him.
