Like the way King County, WA, was “renamed” from honouring William Rufus King, to honouring Martin Luther King, Jr?
All the good karma, no need to change the stationery.

Yes, but they are Great Men and stuff…
why is that simpleton?
It isn’t. It’s just inapt. Simpleton is what she called you for repeatedly behaving that way in previously nuanced conversations. This is a conversation about a private institution renaming one of it’s subdivisions after a non-racist.
Did you have anything to add to that conversation, please do.

You’re pointing out an apparent hypocricy, suure.
You not hearing that, maybe possibly, you are not being ‘just’.
Consider it.
Fascinating. Lets return to the topic.
Are you uncomfortable with this private institution negating the legacy of a racist human owner?

No, no, no, this thing’s taken. And besides’s Grace Hopper got her doctorate at Yale. It’s only fitting.
I was just in the favor of naming things after brilliant ethologists whatever their name. Or, geneticists, mathematicians, whatever. I mean you must admit that “Corner of Dobzhansky and Noether” sounds like a perfectly nice address.

He was Vice President for 45 days, making him the highest ranking Alabaman ever in public office and also probably the first gay Vice President. Other than that, he helped precipitate the Civil War.
In 1954 The Senate named John Calhoun, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, Robert LaFollette, and Robert Taft as the five greatest Senators. The committee that made the recommendations was led by John F Kennedy.
Of course, this was when the country was quite unabashedly racist.
