It costs next to nothing to remove a statue or change the name of a school or a road, and can and should be done as soon as a figure becomes an issue its a cheap simple way of letting a segment of our population we have treated appallingly know that we are aware of our past and wish to make amends.
If the objection to this is just because we dont like the politics of the people asking us to do the right thing, if that is your only objection to doing the right thing its a pretty morally shallow end of the wading pool it swim in
