UPDATED: Alderman wants Delmar named "Barack Obama Boulevard"
KSDK -- A St. Louis alderman wants a stretch of Delmar Boulevard named for President-elect Barack Obama.
Alderman Kacie Starr Triplett of the city's 6th Ward plans to introduce legislation Friday that would honorarily designate Delmar Boulevard as "Barack Obama Boulevard." The stretch to be renamed runs from Tucker Boulevard to the city's western edge.
She says the street still would be known as Delmar, but six signs would be posted to honor the president-elect for his accomplishments and message of hope and unity.
A streets committee must approve the name change before aldermen can vote on it, and it would need yes votes from 15 out of 28 to pass.
Triplett called the naming an "excellent opportunity to acknowledge one of our nation's truly transformational leaders." She added, "His words united people of every race, religion and background. It is my hope that this symbolic act in St. Louis will be an important step toward fostering that same unity and partnership in our great city."
Triplett said four other city aldermen have signed on as co-sponsors of the legislation.
Just some more stupid nigger BS. Delmar was named by new settlers from Delaware and Maryland to honor their home states. As far as I know, Nigbama did not make any contribution to St. Louis area whatsoever and likely never will. So why is the nigger even considered for such honor? Oh, I forgot - he beez nominakated by anuthah nigga. Never mind. What's next on the agenda - Kenya Boulevard?
