Why not support the apology? Surely the South has moved beyond?
At least six Senators did not endorse a Senate bill apologizing for the government's dereliction of duty in not condemning the practice of lynching: Senator Richard Shelby, R-Alabama; Senator Thad Cochran, R-Mississippi; Senator Trent Lott, R-Mississippi; Senator Lamarr Alexander, R-Tennessee; Senator John Cornyn, R-Texas; Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas.
True, they didn't vote against it, but why not actively support it?
The Senators' responses to inquiries were particularly lame: see http://www.chrisgeidner.com/blog/archive/003422.html.

The silence seems deafening.
As you know, I'm a southern girl. This silence on the part of these senators doesn't surprise me.
Why not support the apology, indeed.
