It’s all theatre. What tangible good does it actually achieve? If we were to tear down all the statues and rename all the streets in one community, and leave them all unchanged in another, what measurable, empirical differences would we expect to see in those two communities 20 years later?

Well it shows a whole segment of our countries population who we have systemically shat on that we recognise we need to make amends, I mean it doesn't actually help the family of a victim of a drunk driver when they tearfully say how sorry they are but I think we'd agree its still a good thing to do.
