Do you not care, or do you think this is the right thing to do?
I think whether or not we use the word "Dixie" to describe a highway isn't a big issue. I think these stories get blown up to play into white resentment of minorities having more political power (despite white males still being overrepresented in positions of power) when they will have zero affect on your life.
Where is is written that the racial and gender ratio of any body has to be in the same proportion as the racial and gender makeup of the general population?
Nobody is saying it has to. The point is white males have disproportionate power in America and still are threatened by minority populations gaining any traction at all.
As a white male - married to a black woman - I say bulls%^$.
You do need to choose your words better.
I wish minorities, especially blacks, would stop having them portrayed as victims by the Democratic party. The word Dixie is no more racist than ... fried chicken.
P.s. White males have already been reduced in this world.

The Vice mayor is 22 years old?!!! What in the hell in someone so inexperienced doing being ELECTED to such a position? This is what scares white males.

The argument is being made by one of Broward County’s youngest elected officials after she heard of a similar effort in Miami-Dade.
The name Dixie harkens back to an era that glorified slavery and white supremacy, says 22-year-old Hallandale Beach Vice Mayor Sabrina Javellana.

See the response below. We need a full representation of history, not the PC version of it. I don't want future generations growing up ignorant of the lessons of history.
Full representation of history? How much of history is whitewashed? How little time do we spend on the oppression and genocide of Native Americans? How little time do we spend on the oppression of African Americans?
Is celebrating the southern slave owners the "Full representation" of history?
