As are the knee-jerkers and dog-pilers, but this is INGO, so it seems quite natural. I guess I could have voiced my support for States' rights more eloquently, but I'm obviously just a pro-slavery racist, so it would have came out wrong anyhow.

Horrible to publish that on Memorial Day. That in and of itself shows that the Times editorial staff are a-holes and America haters. To headline this in a way that flat-out accuses the present military of white-supremacy is indefensible.
That being said, other than inertia, I don't see a reason to not change the names at this point.
I have legalized robbery, called it belief
I have run with the money, I have hid like a thief
Rewritten history with my armies of my crooks
Invented memories, I did burn all the books
