In the process of "dredging up the dead", it seems to be having the side effect of people forming strong but inaccurate perceptions about the degree to which literal racism exists in America and the world today, which has the side effect of causing serious polarization and unrest in society.
This isn't to say we should or should not do these things, but being mindful of what is actually occurring might be worthwhile.
