you don't join the herd the Liberal Social Justice warriors will tell you you are wrong. Can't have people think for themselves or have a different opinion. We are truly in an idiot mentality pandemic.
There's a lot of gray area that people don't consider

Yes, black lives also matter. Each person should be measured on their own merit. No one should be targeted or biased against simply for the color of their skin or their socioeconomic status.
There are peaceful protestors trying to draw attention to this cause, and make change. I don't know that renaming all historical buildings is the answer, but I can understand the sentiment to tearing down confederate monuments that were erected (heh) during the Civil Rights period.
Will looking back help change people's behavior moving forward? Maybe. Maybe not. We've seen people on this board dig in the their heels and push back against any kind of change for fear of too much change. Or they look at life as a zero-sum game for some reason.
At the same time, there are thousands of criminals looting and causing damage during this time that conflates the peaceful folks message. There are plenty of criminals trying to take advantage that need to be stopped. Folks that might have been law abiding, are now breaking the laws.
So much craziness and anger out there. It's frustrating and sad.
