You miss my point entirely. I do not have a guilt trip about the past--I was simply pointing our how long it took Florida to acknowledge its own past.

Ignoring the past is not the remedy; because that which gets thoroughly ignored tends to persist and resurface for later dramatization, resulting in the multiplication of Republicans.

But I do have a desire to see courage in facing what is happening in the present, and when that includes racial discrimination, the courage to say so. The fact that conditions are greatly improved is no excuse for ignoring what is, when it is.
