IMHO, a person can apologize till the cows come home, still for some, that will never be enough. By the same token, there will also be those that will accept the apology and let bye gones be bye gones because they understand that continuing to live in the past or live with hatred serves no good purpose. Still, there are relatively small factions on all sides that continue to sow the seeds of hate and distrust for discord is their life blood and they feed on it like vampires.
Ask the black families whose relatives were hung by clansmen that were recruited by clansman Sen. Robert Byrd, if it's OK to have a portrait of him in the senate halls.
