Nothing but window dressing. Even as this apology is issued racial tensions are rising partly because of the tactics employed by the Republicans. George Allen of Virginia? I think it was he who in the nineties signed a confederate month proclamation and called the NAACP an extremist organization. He also hung a noose from a tree in his office and the Confederate flag at his home. He claimed the flag was just part of a flag collection. He also opposed one of the civil rights acts and when a state senator was opposed to the Martin Luther King holiday. I just cannot believe a man with that kind of recent history has changed.
The apology is due but I wonder why Allen is involved.
