None of these things mean that a Black person "hates White people" or you as an individual.

If you can't understand why Black students would feel insulted by the glorification of people who fought a losing war to keep their ancestors as slaves, that says more about you than them. The CSA lasted a shorter amount of time than Nirvana. Pokemon Go has now existed for longer than the CSA did. It isn't the be all end all of my culture as a White Southerner, and it sucks that people pretend it is.

People can demand respect for themselves without disrespecting you. They can even "have their black names", regardless of how you feel about it.
