Rodeo Road to be renamed Obama Blvd. (Iran, generations, racism)

[Veritas Vincit]

You know the old jokes about how MLK Blvd always seems to be in the hood..I have a hunch that this will apply to all the "Obama Blvd" that will appear over the next decades as well. Even the people who praise it will - by coincidence of course - live in the other end of the city.

Do you mean closer to Wall Street, Bank Blvd., or Koch $u(%er Avenue?

Do you think the Baha'is left a lane in for the Rodeo Bowl for historic preservation?

Oooo, it's been a while. I didn't know about the McDonalds...

I was suprised a couple of years ago when I saw white parents and kids going into Baldwin Hills Elementary. The return of white folks to western Obama BLVD already happened and will turn Los Angeles into an outlier in the general King and Obama story nationwide

It also seems that this thread is reeking of racist undertones, much like the Cheeto's supporters and those that constantly attack Garcetti.

Obama was a REAL president who helped get this country back on its feet. The only things the Cheeto is doing is lining the pockets of the rich and restoring white supremacy.

As a a white American male I do not fear people of color nor do I need that small handed piece of white trash from Forest Hills ruining this country. Back in NYC we all knew Cheeto was a boneheaded crook who made his money by cheating others. He wreaked havoc in the NYC real estate market and almost single handedly destroyed Atlantic City.

Renaming a street after Obama is the LEAST he deserves.

McCain was a terrible presidential candidate and a spotlight-seeking senator who never saw a global conflict he didn't want us to have bombed harder...and sooner. No, he did not always behave like a mature adult -- far from it.

As for calling Trump a cheeto, why is it you are going after a racial characteristic of his? FFS if you want to criticize him, do so, but at least stick to one of his myriad deficiencies and not his racial characteristics. When we read criticisms of his hair and skin tone, we are reminded of race. Race should not be a characteristic one makes fun of as it is immutable, unless of course, it is now ok to make fun of others due to their racial characteristics. Oh I forgot, it's not racist if a person is white.

Please end the virtue signaling. No one cares. If you do not fear any POCs, you are not sane. Some are scary and you know it. I don't need to read "yeah, but not all" either. It is as if you feel others who are unenlightened like yourself, fear POC. Good grief, get a grip.

As for Obama "deserving" a street named after him, know that that is very debatable.

Well it is Los Angeles where the political flyers, mailed by city councilmen with Barack Obama's picture are now about double the number of those with Bill Clinton and JFK combined

True . The L.A market is an outlier in the national real estate market .

In most of America cities have to improve for property values to go up .
Not in L.A if the general market is going up every area will go up . It does seem like South L.A has been changing for the better in certain areas people desire to be closed to downtown now and it’s a lot different than even the early 2000s and especially the 90s. It’s a big area with various neighborhoods of course .

Yeah I never saw the appeal of McCain myself . He had that “maverick “ label years ago but I didn’t really get the hype . He also seemed to be pretty corrupt with the Keating scandal .. which I noticed hasn’t been brought up at all in the media recently .

The media is fawning over McCain purely because he hated Trump and was one of the never Trumpers.
Perhaps the most notorious and aggressive of the bunch

Even Ted Cruz and Rubio came around to some degree . McCain also supported a bombing that killed about 500,000 Cambodians including many children . As you mentioned he was a very pro war type . He also said many racist things about Asians which I won’t repeat her . But of course the media is willing to overlook all that .. because he hated Trump

I stated that I did not agree with his politics. I refer to his personal behavior and his presentation when I mention his maturity. As opposed to the current "president" whose behavior most closely resembles that of a petulant 10 year old.
As for the use of the term "cheeto", I employ it in the sense of representing something full of air and little substance that is colored orange. A sub par spray on tan is not a racial characteristic. It signals a vain, superficial ignorance. If I were making a racial statement I might say something like "trump is an embarassment to white Americans with European ancestry and humans in general."
Also, I really don't have the time or energy to attack all of his other deficiencies.

This is a forum, where we all come to express our thoughts. You are not the arbiter of what should or should not be posted. Fine, YOU don't care. Then block me. I don't care to hear you and your cronies constant whining about other races, liberals, everyone encroaching on your little fiefdoms, but you have every right to post that drivel on this forum.
As for MY fears, I fear wealthy, conservative, racist, narrow minded Americans who use their wealth to manipulate this country to fit their perverted desires. They cause way more damage than "POC". Having worked in neighborhoods and with people you (and your buddies) constantly demean, I understand where their anger and frustration comes from. I have also witnessed the fact that white trash is just as unsavory and destructive as "POC". Dangerous people come in all colors and socioeconomic levels. The Cheeto has proven that beyond any doubt.

Also, I have a very good grip. What I don't have is the siege mentality exhibited all too frequently by a number of the posters that have repeatedly attempted to hijack the threads on this forum.

There is nothing debatable about Obama's accomplishments meriting recognition. The statistics and records abound that have proven that. Unless you just hate the fact that a black man became president.

Martin Luther King runs from Central Ave near Jefferson High School and turned Latino long ago past the Coliseum and angles to Jackie Robinson Stadium next to Dorsey High School an area which remains mostly black. Obama starts just before Arlington intersects with King just before La Brea and the grandchildren of those who fled west of La Brea are mostly who are buying in now.

As I said in last year's thread I wonder if Culver City would change the name once you cross Jefferson and the city limits line
