Erasing History - And Reality

The war against Confederate statues - and the related whining by the Boston Red Sox's inept owner John Henry about the naming of Tom Yawkey Way because former Sox owner (1933-76) Yawkey was racist, a racism that was the norm in all society until the 1960s (where even the Boston Globe referred to the daily underground numbers game of the time as the "nigger pool")  and which was futile and irrelevant thanks to competitive reality dictating eventual integration - are a reminder of the war against reality and thusly is driven by a complete double standard.   It is a war that - natch - California leads.
