I think from this point further, we shouldn’t name anything after another person ever again. We should rename everything so that it isn’t associated with any person.
We can’t possibly know what people might think in 100 years. I can already see it.
That's one idea. Or we could stop being so pompous and arrogant, presuming that we are so much better and more enlightened than those who came before us.
I have a feeling that if our 'racist' forebears could look ahead and see where we're at in 2021, they'd call us a bunch of moral degenerates - and they'd be right.
I think renaming the ship will go along way toward solving all our problems.

Yep, if we can just get all of the Confederate names off of every thing, then there won’t be any more problems and everybody will be happy as pigs in mud.

We can’t possibly know what people might think in 100 years. I can already see it. I can’t believe they named this street after Martin Luther King. He actually ate meat from animals. What a bunch of cruel, sadistic barbarians who killed animals and caused all that pain and suffering in order eat them.
We don’t do that in the year 2121, we eat food made by bacteria, electricity, and water. I am so offended by what they did 100 years ago. I hate them so much, and if I could back in time, I’d kill them before they even dared to try and kill an animal and then eat it.
I don’t agree with the snark but I do think we should avoid naming things after a person. As someone else said, in U.K. they use names like Perseverance, I think those kind of names are cool. There’s no good reason to use names.

No one has yet given any good explanation for naming U.S. military bases after people who were enemies of the United States. It doesn’t make any more sense than naming bases after WWII Japanese generals, or whatever their equivalent is.

Today’s snark is tomorrow’s policy. That’s an absolute fact.
I’ve actually read a few articles that try to predict what future Americans in the next century will be offended by what we do today. Every single one of them mentioned eating animal flesh.

And what, actually, would be wrong with that?
Frankly, all the horse manure about "erasing history" is just horse manure. History is not contained by statues and monuments. We see that proven by the statues and monuments of ancient Egyptians, which was incomprehensible until the Rosetta Stone enabled historians to interpret the hieroglyphics.
They breed some real upstanding citizens in the District of Columbia.
Doesn't have anything to do with the discussion.
Hell, I was mugged and nearly shot in DC. Fortunately, the mugger pushed the gun so hard into my right kidney that it pushed the slide out of register and the gun jammed.

It's not a fact unless it's happened.
Try another example...one that has actually happened instead "predictions of the future."
