The Myth of Atonement

When the media and others seek to filter and cleanse the legacy of an evil celebrity or politician when they die the victims get punished again and the horror of evil lives on.... Robert Byrd does not deserve the regret and the efforts of those who seek to polish his ugly past and make him honorable. We don't honor nazi sympathizers why do we rationalize racist ones?

Byrd was a evil person whose contempt and racism towards Black Americans was beyond the pale and reached depths of inhumanity. Byrd alleged personality reversal and regrets lack sincerity and were rightfully viewed as just another slick media twist to appease his critics.

Byrd's posture towards Black Americans was inhumane he brought suffering to unlimited numbers of Americans that were not of his hue. I hope he rots in hell that is what his legacy deserves not a fictional cleansing by the media and pc influenced politicians.

Redemption does not belong to the community those seeking atonement know this truth...

The whitewash of Robert Byrd began many years ago and the KKK connection comes as a shock to many .
