We all know the hippies aren’t the brightest bulbs in the Woo, but their latest stunt is laugh out loud funny. One of these geniuses actually has started an online petition to change the name of Plantation Street because it’s racist:
Dear Mayor Petty,
We demand that you rename Plantation Street in Worcester, Massachusetts as it is a symbol of oppression. Instead, we demand that homage is paid to those who died in the quest to free themselves from from the hands of those sought to keep them as laborers never as citizens and as property not as people. We demand that Plantation Street be renamed in honor of those who fought for their freedom. Currently, the name “Plantation Street” serves as a reminder of a painful history for descendants of African American slaves.
We demand that you permanently remove names and symbols of white supremacy.
#HonorThem
The time has come for us to stop honoring both those who fought to preserve the institution of Black bondage as well as those who profited from it.
The other day we wrote a blog about the clusterfuck that Plantation Street has become. Shoutout to Mike McAleer for calling this one:
LOL. The hippies are just way too predictable. That’s their problem. They disregard facts because it might stop them from making up imaginary racism. Because without racism, they’d literally have nothing to talk about it. Their lives are that meaningless.
Quick little historical lesson for the hippies that you can find after about .00018 seconds of Googling:
“English settlers arrived to the Worcester County area and found, what looked to them as, dispersed yet abandoned villages. The Nipmuc that were encountered, were friendly and attempted to adopt the white man’s ways. Rev. John Elliot introduced and converted many Native Americans to Christianity. Clusters of the converted Indians formed “praying towns” to practice their new religion. In 1637, the first settlement of Worcester was called the “Village of Quinsigamond” or the “Quinsigamond Plantation.”
Ya got that? The land that is known as “Worcester” today, was originally a Native American settlement called “Quinsigamond.” White people showed up to this strange place, and wouldn’t ya know it – they hit it off with the Natives. Together they formed “Quinsigamond Plantations.” You know, because they were planning on “planting” stuff there to eat. Generally that’s what happened on plantations. People grew shit and lived there. Not everything is Django.
So where did Plantation Street get it’s name. Well, lookie here:
Oh wouldn’t ya know it – it’s named after Quinsigamond Plantations. Stupid facts getting in the way of imaginary racism!!!
The Worcester hippies weren’t the first ones to pull this boner though. Back in 2010 some Providence hippies took it one step further. Ya see, Rhode Island’s official name is State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. The Providence hippies thought this was racist (even though it had nothing to do with slavery) and they got a referendum on the ballot to change the name to “Rhode Island.”
It failed miserably. Because State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations is the longest state name in the country. And Rhode Islanders obviously have little man syndrome and want to be the biggest at SOMETHING. Thus they soundly rejected the ballot measure:
Fail.
Just another chapter in “Hippies Doing Hippie Things.” Never change hippies. Never change.
P.S. Look who already signed it:
Come on Boom-Boom. You’re supposed to be a college professor. Be better than that.

Oh this is way to funny.
too much awesomeness!!
Hey! This post could not be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my previous room mate!

Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!

It really helpful & it helped me out a lot. I’m hoping to
offer something again and aid others such as you helped me.
What’s up to all, the contents existing

fellows.
I am really glad to glance at this blog posts which contains lots of useful data, thanks for providing
these kinds of information.
This is a good tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere.
Simple but very accurate information… Thanks for sharing this one.
A must read post!
Normally I do not learn post on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very forced me
to take a look at and do so! Your writing taste has been amazed me.
Thank you, very great article.
I am truly happy to read this blog posts which contains lots
of useful information, thanks for providing these information.
My partner and I stumbled over here from a different website and thought I might
check things out. I like what I see so now i am following you.
Look forward to going over your web page yet again.
Very good post. I am facing some of these issues as well..
Thank you, I’ve recently been searching for information approximately
this subject for a while and yours is the best I’ve found
out so far. But, what in regards to the bottom line?
Are you certain about the source?
Link exchange is nothing else but it is just placing the other person’s blog
link on your page at appropriate place and other person will also do similar in support of
you.
There’s certainly a great deal to know about this subject.
I really like all of the points you’ve made.
I see at least 3 clive columns
You know what’s really funny? The city is doing major work on Plantation St. from Belmont to Hamilton and the final stage is a complete resurfacing with BLACK TOP! Not only that but, for the most part a YELOW STRIPE will run down just about the complete length. Also WHITE LINES will be added to both shoulders. What color will be the most offensive?
Ha! Your right. Are the hippies going to cry racism because the WHITE shoulder lines are on top of the BLACK surface? Is that symbolic of the “White Master”, oppressing the “Black Servant “? To the normal clear thinking person, this is obviously a joke. To the leftist, hippie degenerate this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. It’s laughable yes but it’s also frustrating and sad. Ok, back to work. This is my opinion, I could be wrong.
A Mr. James Bonds(really) of the Concerned Black Men group, when they failed to have the name Chandler St. changed to MLK boulevard, and were instead pacified by the City Council with giving them East Central St, had this to say in the T&G back in 2006 :
“Our purpose is much greater than a street,” he said. “Our goal is trying to save black youth. A street name will help to build pride,” he said, but the ultimate goal is to get the black community involved in the overall community and the effort to uplift black youth.
LOL hows that working out for you? What were they trying to build pride in? Illiteracy and Syphilis? Mission Accomplished! #BLM
Let’s be fair. Attempting to build pride in one’s community is a great idea however, it’s how you go about it. Pride, values, morality, etc… begins in the home, not on a metal street sign.I agree with you that it is absolutely laughable. Their priorities are totally mixed up due to poor leadership but at the very least they made an attempt which does show awareness of the multitudes of problems. The apathy and unaccountablity among legions of young black men is astonishing. It’s a culture of drugs, prison, exploiting women, guns, fighting and just general assholeness. The goal of any civilized society is progression. I just don’t see how a street name will do that. I am truly rooting for them to move on and succed. It will not happen until they accept the responsibility of their own actions and stop blaming everyone else. I just don’t think they care. This is my opinion, I could be wrong.
I still call it Central Street. It will always be Central Street, just like “Major Taylor BLVD” is Worcester Center BLVD. No one knows how Major Taylor is! WTF…
Hell, I remember Worcester Center Blvd. as New Salem St.
Since the other quote is still awaiting moderation: look up the official name of the state of Rhode Island. “Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.”
Racist. obv.
They are Social Justice Warriors, not hippies. Hippies at least have IQs above absolute zero.
urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=social+justice+warrior&defid=5763529
When they aren’t following cops who are trying to clean up their own selfmade shitholes and then filming them hoping the arrested felon fights the cop so they can claim police brutality they sit around on their lazy asses coming up with some other nonsense.
And when did this all begin?
At the “beer summit” heard round the world with the Cambridge policeman and the professor. That was July 2009.
This is so asinine and utterly foolish. These people are openly instigating and promoting racism. Instead of trying to heal and unify people through commonalities; these vapid, ignorant hippies are searching for anything they can use to push their leftist agenda of subservience and apathy. This is NOT rising up against an injustice. This is a clear and vile assault on our decent, hard working and civil ancestors who founded this city. Political correctness is a ruse. It’s like saying, “it’s not crime, it’s poverty”. Nonsense. As a white man, what if I came out and said “young thugs who wear there pants around there knees is racist”??? It’s a foolish comment but I would be considered a “racist”. We have real problems people. This is bullshit!
Thought I’d share from Wanda’s FB page:
SO I WANTED TO SHARE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT STUDENT LOANS N DISABILITY..I GOT A CALL TODAY ABOUT MY STUDENT LOAN I WILL NEVER PAY..AS OF JULY OF LAST YEAR THERE IS A GROUP CALLED NELNET AND THEY WORK WITH THE DEPT OF EDUCATION AND IF YOUR DOCTOR CAN CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE DISABLED AND WONT BE ABLE TO WORK AGAIN THAT THE DEBT WILL BE FORGIVEN..PLZ PASS THIS INFORMATION ALONG TO YOUR FRIENDS SO THEY CAN UTILIZE THIS PROGRAM IF IT APPLIES THANK YOU..
Better change Indian lake as well!!! Omg get over it if people spent as much energy on jobs and raising there kids they wouldn’t have time to worry about this stupid bs.
i want to change the name of jenkins street to ulgy women with red glasses lane…………………
Urkel Street!
Ironically these same “Hippies” keep voting for policies that are intended to keep them dependent on government and in a sense “on the plantation”.
I’m wondering if they realize how difficult it is to change the name of a street in the present day…. especially with 9-1-1 listings.
Fitchburg changed the name of Fifth Street to Cetrino Drive 15 years ago, and the switch was simple: no houses on Fifth Street, no need to change anything in a 9-1-1 database.
Do these hippies ever do any research?! Google must be racist.
Ya…. Well what about PEARL ST.!
A pearl necklace
She wanna pearl necklace
She wanna pearl necklace
ROFLMAO, just had to read this again for a good laugh first thing this morning. What a crock. #PricelessHippeis
Sooo, If Jam Master Jay was still alive would we have to call him Jam Jay ? Because I’m sure someone will be offended by the word Master. Look out Master P, you’re next!!!
I’m an ex-smoker. I demand they change the name of Marlboro St. Or my friend, a native American, demands a name change for Algonquin, King Philip, Navajo, Seminole, Wigwam and Iroquis Sts. My friend is on a diet and demands a name change for Gingerbread Trail. My Jewish friend demands a name change for Church, Bishop, St John, St Elmo, St Nicholas, and St Paul Street. My Asian friend demands a name change for both Orient and Oriental Sts. My gay friend demands a name change for Gaylord and Queen Sts. My pacifist friend demands a name change for Military Rd, Admiral St, and Gold Star Blvd. My neighbor demands that you do not change the names of Mary Jane Circle and Beaver St.
You deserve a trophy for this. Absolute perfection.
Thank you. I actually have a copy of the Worcester street directory…. a few more names the hippies should consider changing .. Accommodation St, Benefit St, Walmart Way, Porter St, Assumption Ave, Harlem St and Newport St.
Did anyone else notice that the petition “DEMANDS” the name change ? Not a respectful request, or suggestion, or ballot idea, but a damn DEMAND ? If that’s how things are done, then I DEMAND a million dollars.
Well, yeah. Because that’s what terrorists do. They make demands.
Idiots. Just like in New York when the hippies protested the name Fishkill because it promoted violence. They are completely ignorant of history.
Another drunk e-mail from Dyer?
My brain hurts! Are you frigging shitting me?! I hope Petty wiped his arse with this letter! This is just getting wayyyy out of control! Give anybody an inch and they’re take a mile and stomp all over you like a bully… And people cower to this shit!? I’d laugh in their face! Get over it already … Better yet don’t drive on Plantation St ever again ok! So you don’t suffer PTSD!
I also bet these f*** want to change the name of “white city” too because its obviously a racist name that oppresses “non whites” Or you know, there a hundreds of various “white city” places around the globe, and was named after the Worlds Fair where thousands of light bulbs glowing created a “White city”. I guess light bulbs are racist.
You just gave them their next adventure. All the hippies are on this site all day, reading and twisting words around to fit their agenda. Anyone care to place a wager on their next “movement”?
We should start a go.fund me to build them a commune somewhere deep in space
A bowel movement. Racists pushing their proud brown shit out of their privileged white ass.
Ya, we should all change our outside lights on the houses we own, to black lights….lmao
Plantation has connotations that reach far beyond colonialism in the US, or even British/Dutch/Portuguese colonialism. I have a problem with “Plantations” but only because monoculture is a JOKE!…..If these f*** would use their time to help tutor, nurture, or befriend at risk youth and aid in their development towards being active civilians then they might actually make a difference. If they gave their time to Worcester programs and charities that have direct benefits they might help. Instead they want to jump on PC bandwagon and do sophomoric trendy things that require them doing what they do daily, posting trash on facebook and not doing real community work. This is not Kentucky with “Little Negro” lane, village and creek. Offensive/in-properly named roads/parks/etc is a real thing and a real problem nation wide. I don’t see this as one of those examples
WTF are these hippies complaining about now ?! There housing is FREE , there food is FREE , FREE Daycare for all 15 children that they each have , and oh what ,, FREE cell phones cause that’s important to live ! STOP sitting at home all fuckin day thinking of ways to blame anyone ,but yourselves , for the way your lives turned out . Get a JOB !!
I wish I could wake up tomorrow and not have shit to do , and all my bills paid for, I’d probably buy some of those weed pajamas wacky Wanda owns …… But guess what… I would never do that shit because i was raised better than that ! And because those pajamas are hideous !!
I love you TB 🙂
Are “these” people really that stupid? redundant I know.
Seriously, you cant make this stuff up even after smoking an entire bag of Wanda’s Wacky and Wonderful Weed!!! It just keeps getting better. I just pray the hippies never, ever, ever, ever stop being them. #PricelessHippies
I’m sad to call these people friends
Your friends at PETA think Dead Horse Hill should be renamed too.
