"Naming U.S. bases after Confederates in the first place was necessarily “divisive” to black Americans"
Last I checked, they were on the winning side of the war and got freedom from slavery. Maybe they should stop being aggrieved by a name.
"a small insult among many greater ones to remind them that their feelings didn’t matter"
Which is totally not at all what tarring people who don't want to rename the forts is doing at all, right? Letting the losing side honor their dead is how you make peace. Deciding to knock that over is how you open old wounds. Duh.
