You don't need to waste your time lecturing me in the intricacies of apologizing for white supremacy.  I grew up in the Deep South in deep poverty and was taught all about the war of northern aggression from the official state sanction white supremacy curriculum.  Then I went home to my predominately black neighborhood and saw the grinding effects of institutionalized racism.  The defenders of Southern heritage have no goal in mind other than to retain the privilege conferred on them by Jim Crow.  There is no good in their heart when they defend a system that subjegated our brothers and sisters merely by dint of their skin color.  None.
