Do not discount the Repug messaging on this. Its been that they are not denying the past but they are merely saying today's white people should not be held responsible for the sins of their ancestors. We may think its silly but they are proving to be uite good at messaging to suburban Biden voters who only switched due to the bungling of the Covid response.
