Universities, like Duke University in Durham? The university named after a slave owner, Washington Duke who bought a slave named Caroline for $601. The wealthy land owner who also borrowed his friends' slaves when it was helpful to bring in his crops, so he could profit from their labor. The Duke family who made their fortunes from tobacco which causes disease disproportionately affecting blacks and other minorities? The Duke University that didn’t admit black students until 1968?

Shouldn't statues of Washington Duke be torn down immediately? Shouldn't the school be forced to pay reparations (they have an 8.6 BILLION dollar endowment!)? Shouldn't the name of this racist organization be wiped from history forever?
