Why should we not expect that from the party leading the country too? Why are they very much allowed to get away with condoning racist pasts by their collective inaction? Why are private companies held to a higher standard than our elected representatives who set policy for all this kind of stuff?
In short...why is some past racism forgiven and other is not?
Its part of the discussion moving forward that has to be addressed IMO, if there is to be any real headway made in the whole topic.
Just my thoughts on it is all.

Why do you think a poor halloween costume choice is equivalent to using racially and sexually charged language from a coach to a young player in a locker room in a situation where the coach basically controls the player's future?
The two situations are worlds apart. Anybody trying to equate them is being overly simplistic.
