I admit being a bit surprised that Boston didn’t go around and change the names of all things honoring their British legacy after the revolution. But having a street named for a notorious English King sounds bizarre, just on general principles.

The author should have done some proofreading:

"Charles precipitated the first English Civil War when he absolved Parliament."

They must re-name the Charles River, and Charlestown, and... on and on.

It is difficult to parse leftist wackiness, but it looks like there is a "secret" hierarchy of racism.

(1)The more recently you were racist (you know, like by throwing a banana in a tree in Mississippi in 2017) the more racist you were.

(2)Racists in sports are bigger racists than racists in other endeavors.

(3)White slave traders are racists but Muslim or Native American slave traders are not.

(4)No outrage should be directed against Spain or Portugal even through they ruled the world in the 1500s when slavery was rampant everywhere.

So confusing to be politically correct--I have whiplash!
