Individual acts as opposed to an entire system representation of oppression are different to most.

HISD, Houston, changed some of the school names a couple of years ago. It only cost the tax payers right at $1,000,000 for each school. Now they are around $93,000,000 short fall in the red and trying to figure out how to stiff the tax payers to pay that. I can see your concern that an outsider has come in to stir the pot. That is the agenda of certain individuals.

Would you expect surviving Jews and their children in Germany to attend Hitler HS or walk by statues of Gestapo soldiers?

I am not personally offended by statues or building names, but i can't just poo-poo away someone else feeling tormented by confederate tributes
I think it is safe to say there aren't many surviving slaves or their children from the Civil War era.
