[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP from the first page.  All the naming hysteria is doing is contributing towards giving Trump a second term.  Have no problem with getting rid of Confederate generals' statues/ base names, etc., because they fought the United States in defense of the right to perpetuate an economic system founded on the enslavement of other human beings.  That's an easy bright-line test to apply.   Trump supporters---by excusing the incessant corruption and undermining of democratic norms---have made it clear that they would rather live in a white-controlled authoritarian country and give up democracy because they fear retribution  when this country is a racial plurality.  The logic that any white historical figure associated with slavery/discrimination in any way---no matter the norms of the time-- now needs to be vilified completely and erased from the public realm just plays into the racist narrative Trump feeds his base.

We won’t erase them. We will still discuss them in school and in museums. But we shouldn’t honor them. What is named after Hitler?[/quote]
