NEW YORK (WIVB) — A reporter for The Daily Caller claims New York is named after slave trader.

According to Thomas Phippen, the state is named after James Stuart, who was the Duke of York.

Stuart, who Phippen says later became King James II of England, “created Britain’s greatest slave empire” — the Royal African Company. Phippen says the company “transported between 90,000 and 100,000 African slaves to the Caribbean and American colonies between 1672 and 1689.”

“The memory of slavery is enshrined in the name New York as well as the name of the nation’s capitol, even though both cities have vastly changed from their christening,” Phippen said.

You can't make this stuff up.

Seems only fair.

Do I get reparations for having lived under that oppressive name for 50 years?

I believe New Amsterdam is a better name. Especially after we split upstate from NYC. It'll never happen though

We should be pushing it hard. Blogging and doing news interviews under pseudonyms. 90% of the public will scoff at this. Reduce it to absurdity.

Should be renamed. In fact it should take some type of African name....maybe Kunta Swaziland? It's becoming apparent that this nation revolves around 12% of the population and their feels. To object or think otherwise is racist or being a Nazi....or being a racist Nazi.

While we're stretch how about this...

the author of article is named Thomas. Who else was named Thomas? Thomas Jefferson, a slave owner. Article's author is literally sharing his name with a known slave owner.

He should be paying reparations and changing his name.

Well "Duke of York: is a title and not a name. York is a city in England and the main city in the county of Yorkshire. One of it's best features is 110 Pubs in the city center!!!!

Being the Duke of York entitles said duke to certain fees paid by the loyal citizens. Royalty is nothing more than the upper crust of the FSA.

Here's another, that shows graphically that the US received 500,000 slaves (the same as Peru) as opposed to the 4.5 million in the West Indies or the 5 million in South America.

The Southern US was hardly the capital of slavery in the world, despite what the Left is saying.

Maybe Stalingrad, Marxland.

Exactly, let them fuck with town of York. New York is a fuck hole, but it's our fuck hole and it just wouldn't be the same by any other name.
