The political correctness mob is now coming after professional baseball. This was on the horizon. When the lefty mob scalped the Washington Redskins, whose new name is unknown, this was bound to happen. If you give the Left an inch, they'll take several hundred miles. You cannot give an inch of land.
First, no one has said this nation never had horrible and tragic periods of racial discrimination, hatred, and violence. And yet, we've progressed. A lot more work needs to be done, but this fetish with the Left and bringing up bad memories isn't meant to serve. It's meant to denigrate and force us into their sad and depressing view of America. And yet, people still want to come here for the very same reasons as an immigrant family who comes here the right way: opportunity. It's easy to become an American culturally. Our three major tenets are: work hard, defend what's yours, and love and protect your family. In fact, that's pretty universal among Western society.
The point is, you learn from history and not repeat it by talking about it and reminding one's society of its shortfalls but not by instituting a cultural ethos that prevents one from progressing because they're so obsessed with the very dark periods in 19th-century history. Changing a baseball team's name isn't going to erase the Texas Rangers. Also, you need to pick your battles. Do you go after real racists, maybe those running for office whose past remarks have been exposed or do you die on the hill that will certainly piss people off and make more folks roll their eyes—and rightfully so—by fighting to change a baseball team's name?

NO! But it makes the leftists happy, I think. I don't say anymore "what the hell is next" cause everything is.
The Left makes excuses for the overt racism and bigotry of Che Guevara, Robert Byrd, Margaret Sanger, and sitting Virginia Gov Nordstrom
“Witchhunt!!!”
“But it makes the leftists happy”
No, that is impossible. These are chronically miserable, unhappy people looking for bogiemen under every rock and behind every tree. There is nothing on God’s Green Earth that can possibly make these perpetually angry people happy.
I pity them for having to go through life with such a dour attitude and their mission every single day is to make other people as miserable as them.
"Is like Gorky says in 'Lower Depths.' Quote: 'Miserable being must find more miserable being. Then is happy.' Unquote."
When you’re in Texas look behind you....
Lock them in a room and force them to listen "The Best of Rush" continuously.
