Recommended Posts

Good grief... Got to give them props for being pro-active and taking care of the situation before the liberal, idiotic morons start in...

NEW YORK (FOX5NY) - The MTA says it is going to "modify" tiles in a Manhattan subway station that people have complained look like Confederate Flags.

 

The pattern of tiles have been in the Times Square station for almost 100 years. The architects are said to have installed them to pay homage to the Southern roots of former New York Times newspaper head Adolph S. Ochs.

 

The MTA has claimed the tiles actually are meant to honor Times Squares nickname as the "Crossroads of the World" and are not Confederate Flags.

 

In a statement to Fox 5 News the MTA says: "These are not confederate flags, it is a design based on geometric forms that represent the "Crossroads of the World" and to avoid absolutely any confusion we will modify them to make that absolutely crystal clear."

 

The station sits below the former New York Times building and Times Square didn't actually exist at the time of the Civil War.

 

The station was renovated in 1998 and included re-creations of the original mosaic design.

Next they are going to say the fact that known slave owners signed the Bill of Rights invalidates it. Not even kidding, watch that is next.

Wow, this is getting comical, when is someone going to just yell STOP!!!

 

1984 should be mandatory reading. That or the Southpark episode with the christmas play where everyone wore gray and chanted unintelligible sounds so as not to offend anyone. Then Stan's dad stands up and says WTF is this?

I am curious when we need to replace the American Flag, since some of the states condoned slavery 150 years ago

 

I GOT IT!!!!!

 

Each state that was a member of the confederacy gets an asterisk instead of the star

 

They can contact the Patriots on how to draw them
