There's a lot of people who are quick to try and change something that's been there for decades or longer, but don't want to preserve anything that's been around a while, they only seem to want to preserve something new and fresh, something that just got done.
The guy/girl wanted everything he/she wasn't a part of or didnt do with his/her group eliminated, but wanted everything he/she/they did do preserved forever. They thought everyone had to welcome and agree with their thoughts about change, and that anybody who disagreed should die.

What blacks, Mexicans, Indians, Asians, and any other race call white people sitting outside trying to enjoy their day and socialize.
Look at that family, it's not uncommon to see a porch polar bear or five way down in this part of Alabama this time of year.

Doing something good doesn't make something bad you did go away. There is no righting wrongs or turning horrors into fairy tales. The one chance you have to right a wrong is when you have the choice to do the wrong, or not do the wrong. If you fuck up, you fucked up, and it comes with consequences, it's as simple as that. There is no erasing one history and replacing it with something that seems to make everybody smile because that isn't reality. The reality is, there are things humans have fucked up at in this country for a long time. One of them was that until yesterday, there had never been a female holding an office as a head of state or a vice head of state. A female getting elected to that position didn't right a wrong, the wrong remains, and the choices will also remain in the future. Racism is also like that, it doesn't get better or go away with time, it has to be worked on otherwise nothing gets done.
Spending a lot of time trying to right wrongs takes time away from things you can take your time on and not fuck up from here, since trying to right wrongs gets nothing done. If you have time to live your life ashamed of every wrong thing you had ever done, you can live your life ashamed, but you're still going to have a lot of shit to do at some point, and there's less and less time to get it done with every day that passes.

The Panthers organization weren't ever really serious about the guy having a chance. They had the money to spend to make some things happen, such as bring him to Carolina, but that's not the same thing as being serious. Some people with lots of money think that way. The former Panthers owner at least stuck with the same team through the years, win or lose, no matter what bad things people have to say about him.

The one that takes the fall for something negative (like a bounty scandal or worse), the face of something negative.
Though his entire band participated in it, he ended up being the scapegoat until the band got popular again, at which time they replaced his face with their own, front and center.
