View submission: Glendale, California had their renaming ceremony tonight changing two city blocks to Artsakh

View parent comment

You know anyone can give a nice inspirational speech about each of those random street names. Heck you can give a similar speech about Armenia Way. At the end of the day, nobody besides Armenians care. If you named a street Artsakh in Armenia,okay, I'd get it. But in the US, it makes no sense (even with that inspirational paragraph you wrote up). I know that my comments aren't "nice" but that's how most besides Armenians feel. And let's fact it, we live in America, racism is inevitable. So all I'm saying is that I think that this street name is going overboard.

I would pay good money for someone to give a nice speech about Samarkand Pl, a city in Uzbekistan. reread what I wrote up there, and read it again. If your only problem is the specific Armenian name they chose, then read my second comment

I dont care who hates me in Glendale. I know TONS of people who love Armenians. I'm not in the business of pleasing everyone. Stop worrying about what other people might think. It makes sense if the entire city is Armenian.

And if racism is inevitable like you just said, why should we not change one street name to Artsakh? Racism is inevitable after all.
