Symbolic actions are useful sometimes. But at the end of they day, they're still only symbolic.

Symbols are ideas. Racism is an idea, too. Seeing racism reinforced by the government display of racist symbols is encouraging to the oppressor and discouraging to the oppressed. This is a battle that takes place first in the minds of the people, and symbols can be very powerful in people's minds. I'm not sure 'only' is the best word under the circumstances. Maybe you have to live in South Carolina to appreciate what an important step this is.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
