Most of what will be done will be meaningless, pandering gestures like this. #metoo takes on a whole new meaning.
Again, things like this infantilize black people. The poor sensitive dears simply cannot stand to hear any word that might remind them of history.
I've seen not just one, but many messages, on LinkedIn of all places, from black professionals ridiculing shit like this. They're soon going to get the message.

They will certainly not listen to anybody but those with black skin.

Ye suh, I do declah, you got to take into account them darkie's feelin's. If they get too worked up, they become addle-pated and are prone to the vapors. Not to mention conniptions and furtherance of miasma.
Y'all trot down there and tell them boys out in the field to come on up to the Big House. Have 'em sit in the shade on the veranda and I'll have Prissy bring out some iced tea, along with a plate of teacakes.
Bless their hearts, if they think too much, it brings on the brain pain and they ain't worth shootin'. I swanee, too much has just about become enough and next year I'm a gonna buy one of them mechanical cotton pickers. Too much sugar for a dime, this BLM stuff is...

Can't wait until we change our name from America. Being tied to such a racist italian who killed natives, owned slaves, and was and told many tall tales about such endeavors... I mean, how racist is our country's name? Might as well be the United States of the Klan!

Some folks might like that.

I tried thinking about why the name Earth is racist. The closest I could come to are the Anglo Saxons involved...because they were white, they were obviously racist. And don't get me started with the Greeks who owned a lot of these root words... and slaves.

@George-K Good point.
If they really were serious they would change their name to Lady Postbellum.
Wait, no... Human Postbellum (the use of "Lady" is too restrictive).
Wait, Human is also anthropocentric, it should be Carbon Lifeform Postbellum.
Wait, no...it should be Carbon Lifeform Postbellum with all due respect to our sedimentary friends.
Wait...what about the water on Mars? LOLJK, that would be taking it too far.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Whoopsie....https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/lady-antebellum-lady-a-country-blues-1013919/
Seattle blues singer Lady A had just gotten off of work on Thursday when a bombardment of phone messages from friends, fans and producers came in all shouting the same thing: Her name had been stolen.
Earlier that day, Grammy-winning country trio Lady Antebellum — whose name had been criticized for its associations with romanticized ideas of the pre-war, slavery-ridden American South — announced they were changing their name to Lady A in light of a heightened national conversation about racism. Lady Antebellum made the changes swiftly on social media and distribution platforms including Spotify and Apple Music, and the group’s website also announced their rechristening as Lady A. But according to Seattle’s Lady A, neither the band nor any members of their team reached out to her before making the change.
This Lady A — a 61-year-old black woman whose real name is Anita White — has been playing the blues under the name for more than 20 years. She began singing as a gospel performer at church and started going by Lady A for karaoke nights in the Eighties. She’s released multiple albums with the name, and on top of her day job working with Seattle Public Utilities, she’s gearing up to release another album, Lady A: Live in New Orleans, on her birthday on July 18th.
