There is a world of difference between the contrition of a former KKK member and the current debate over the removal of confederate statues that were mostly erected during the Jim Crow era in order to reassert white supremacy in the wake of defeat during the Civil War and which are still a painful reminder to millions of black people of the pain and suffering their ancestors endured under the oppressive system championed by the subjects of those statues. That your alt-right mind cannot discern the difference comes as no surprise.
