@ned @WarnerCrocker so why do we keep having to rename things like buildings, streets and holidays and the such. I don’t get it history even though there’s bad it can’t be changed.

@big_in_va Because history with OR without discomfort is propaganda.

@WarnerCrocker I think we should leave the things alone that make us all uncomfortable to avoid repeating some of the same mistakes that caused them. To many times I have seen things changed that people had no clue they were supposed to be offended by. The economic costs sometimes are not worth the benefits from what I have seen done so far. I always think of this my friend when these things are happening then rely on my faith to guide me. https://youtu.be/KqpcmQhnl48

@big_in_va @WarnerCrocker
We name things to honor those named. It is correct to rename things to stop honoring those who shouldn't be honored.

@Okanogen @WarnerCrocker I understand that perspective but, I think in those cases then what should be done and I haven’t seen done in my area, is that a notation should be added to whatever was renamed because of the offensive act or cause the previous person represented. If we try to erase or cover up history bad, good or otherwise we are doomed to repeat it. My parents generation fought WWII to eradicate so much terrible evil and yet I hear people denying the atrocities they fought against. Very sad.
