recover their dignity after Nazi atrocities of WW2 was owning their guilt in the holocaust and carnage they committed. Good to see part of America is doing the same about slavery and lynchings that accompanied it.

Hopefully we have the courage to face our evil.

the book Biko by Donald Woods. I also loved the movie "Cry Freedom". Denzel Washington did an amazing job portraying Steve Biko. Where does all the hatred come from?

A large part is guilt and self-loathing. Many in the South justify slavery by feigning white superiority. By feigning superiority, some white people fantasize that slavery was not completely evil. A hater hates themself most of all. Probably the same in other countries, but I see it in America.

I am a little ignorant about acronyms. What does jmho stand for? I have enjoyed our discussion WhiteTara. Thank you.

and beneath that is the fear that they are NOT superior. Paramahangsa Yogananda famously said, "some men need to cut off the heads of others to feel tall."

JMHO --just my humble opinion

"We (or I) take responsibility for" (insert heinous act here). But I don't quite know what it means. When the egregious behavior isn't actually criminal or actionable, what does it mean to take responsibility for that behavior? Does that mean nothing more than that the person or entity will no longer deny their past actions? I believe the color I want is "unimpressed."

Followed by the pinky swear that in the future, they're going to try to act properly. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO! As Chris Rock says, "What do you want? A cookie?" They can't change the past, but what sort of amends are they proposing to make to their victims of yore? Survivors of unimaginable acts of terrorism and cruelty had their misery compounded in real time. "Sorry" several years after the fact just seems a little lame, but it may be the best they can offer, which is all the more shameful.

many, many ameriKKKans still feel the way it took, to maim, burn, castrate and lynch AA. The ascension of the trumpenfuhrer to his throne and with the able bodied help of AG sessions, 66 million plus trumpenfuhrer voters can hope again for 'supremacy' over all others, nonwhite.

We are still just as wrong today as in the times portrayed by the photos of AA lynch victims. Bullets not ropes are the go to in killing AA men, women and CHILDREN in this 21st century.
