Perhaps we can turn to Baldwin again:

“The past will remain horrible for exactly as long as we refuse to assess it honestly.” — Baldwin

This, of course, compounds the problem for white Americans who refuse to make that honest assessment or who refuse to accept what they find there. And, as we know, “white people have no collective shame.”
