The point I make at the end of the book, which I think is important, is this idea that America has never had to really repent for the horrors and terrors of our racial past, and from a spiritual standpoint there can be no forgiveness or no atonement in moving on without repentance. But unlike Germany, where they’ve been repentant about their Nazi past and it’s illegal to even have a Nazi flag, here in this country, not only are they not repentant, they celebrate the Confederate flag. ... That’s part of what we have to move past if we’re in fact going to be one country united as one people all on the same team.

It's kind of scary isn't it, when you've always been able to jump around and celebrate symbols of a racist past (Confederate Flags), never apologizing for the grounds on which it stands?

Even scarier, you're now noticing that you're losing the power of majority to someone that might just be a jackass about it. Just like the jackass you've been.

That would be scary.

Maybe it's time for all of us to stop hanging on to this racist crap and get on with getting along.
