Yes according to you everyone from throughout history who held racist beliefs by today's standards should not have something named for them be changed and their memorials bulldozed. Lets not forget you want Mount Rushmore destroyed.

Again, what's racist has never changed. Acceptance of racism is what has changed.

Let's rename Washington DC and Jefferson City too.

Sure!

You probably should rename the former: having two top-level divisions of your country with the same name is just confusing.

Racism isn't new. just because it was the norm doesn't mean they weren't racist.

Because I don't know about you Lumen, but if owning another person as property because their skin color (Jefferson and Washington) is what you believe to make them inferior than you isn't racism, then I don't know what is.

I don't deny slavery is wrong but to say we cannot have something named for them because they did something considered awful today is a bit ludicrous. if we are going to adopt such a standard you'd soon have few historical figures you could name anything for.

By your standard anything named for anyone from before the 1930s should likely be changed. Your the one who proposed name changes so i'd like some suggestions.

Confusing as that is, that's not what I meant.

there are like 15 towns/cities named Hampton in the U.S., but having two in the same state would be confusing.

Hampton, Virginia vs. Hampton, Missouri is one thing

Hampton, Missouri vs. Hampton, Missouri is another

I don't see why the national capital shouldnt be named for the first president of the United States and who was literally the only person who had the respect and reverence he had. There was no one else who could have led the country as effectively or been able to hold it together during its early years.
