I know your comment wasn't meant to spin off another thread, but I do believe you're touching at something quite significant. We as a society have become way too comfortable with using the government to stop behaviour we don't like, to the point that people automatically jump to that conclusion during political arguments.

This situation quite literally is not using the government. So y’all are complaining about the non-government system working in the way you’d expect it to?

There are surely going to be more voices advocating for removing racist stuff than those arguing to keep it. One side inherently has the advantage. So without the government getting involved, what exactly are y’all suggesting?

Bringing people to our side of the argument. Improving the culture so we're not erasing the past. There's no way around winning the hearts of the people.
