Why give in?
“Why give in?”
That’s the best reason to not change it.
Nikki Haley messed up to my mind in the knee jerk reaction.
Why to change it?
To recognize a legitimate grievance of fellow citizens.
Jim Crow was wrong and not only wrong, it harmed the US more than anything else in our history.
Without this Democrat big government enforcement of diminished rights of not only blacks but also whites I doubt the leftist Marxist perspectives would have been able to gain the foot hold in this country that they have.
No Jim Crow, no Obama.
There are consequences of sin.
The Democrats have used Jim Crow and reaction to Jim Crow as a racket to gain more power and move the country more left. They start Jim Crow, people react to Jim Crow by becoming more left and further support the Democrats.
It’s such a sleight of hand racket, it is quite a diabolical history that we now are feeling the brunt of worse than ever.

Ancestry.com is quite an amazing thing.
I now know for sure that I have direct forebears who fought for Mississippi, Tennessee and Illinois in the Civil War.
Before Ancestry.com all we knew was we had ancestors living in those places during the Civil War but didn’t know if any participated.
Because Theodore Dalrymple said it well-
“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
