Tuesday’s apology for slavery and Jim Crow segregation from the U.S. House of Representatives is a necessary step toward healing some of America’s racial ills and could open the door for serious dialogue on reparations, some observers say.

Ditto:
POINTLESS!!!
Somebody is being stroked. One of them Negros on the floor is probably smiling while singing "we shall overcome".

Yes, it was a token gesture. But the speech that accomplished this ruling was truly a mea culpa on the part of United States. It also provided a written document entered into the Congressional Record that will be there for posterity; |

I have to agree. Pointless.
I am and always have been willing to forget all the slavery, raping, killing, mutilation, anal rape, miscegenation, torture, lynching, disenfranchisement, cheating, lying, robbery, racism, ugliness
Just stop doing it and let's go forward.
But doggonit, just when we think we turned the corner, the Haters, the Jesse Helms, the Rush Limbaughs, the junior Klansmen, stinking Republican subhuman trash, they do something else.
They like it, don't they?
So, until they do that, full speed ahead with putting salt in the wounds. |
