All you fairfax county residents are pure racist for living in a county named after a man who traded and sold slaves to amass his fortunes.

You dirty racist pigs.
How dare you.

You think changing a name of a school is going to make you look non-racist?

Come on liberal democrats, your governor is hiding the racist history from you.
Liberals are hypocrites. When you teachers look at the seal of fairfax, just know it was all based on slavery.

Rot in hell you racist fairfax county residents.

In 1732 Robert “King” Carter died. He was the land agent for Lord Fairfax. Carter owned 300,000 acres and 1,000 slaves. Fairfax arranged for his own Cousin William, to become his land agent and got him appointed collector of customs of South Potomac, Virginia.

At the time the land was known as proprietaries and the Virginia Government at Jamestown was hostile to both proprietaries and proprietors, so in 1735, Lord Fairfax, himself, came to settle feuds. Meanwhile, William Fairfax began to acquire land near Mount Vernon, build a mansion, and establish an estate called Belvoir, into which he moved in 1741.

Fairfax County was originally called Truro Parish, after the vestry of the English Church. Much of the labor was provided by white indentured servants and black slaves.

wish we could go back to having slaves again

I would say after a certain amount of crimes a person should be sentenced to labor / slavery for a period of time

why feed and house these people when they could have a use

Rename it Obama County, I'll settle for Jessie Jackson or AL Farakoon County and demand it be changed from the racist Lord Fairfax.
