What? We're horrible now and were worse back then. Both need to be acknowledged. We're barely starting to acknowledge before, let alone what's happening today.
In a perfect world we'd focus on both effective immediately, but I hope you can appreciate that a lot of people in this country don't appear to be genuine in their desires to stop being so hard on our past. It's more about inconvenience, annoyance and not wanting to look at our history in a different light than a desire to approach what's still happening today.
