Sanders: 'We have got to apologize for slavery'

[bobloblaw]

You find slavery normal?

400,000 dead union soldiers isnt apology enough?

Perhaps not apologize, but recognize that it's part of our history, and that minorities have been disadvantaged since then because of it. It's ignorant to pretend that there's a level playing field in this country.

Minorities? Like Asians and Hispanics???


All this is is a giant cash grab for failures.

I apologize for O.J. Simpson killing his wife. I also apologize for British tea getting dumped into Boston harbor. I apologize for that one time Opie killed a bird with his slingshot on the Andy Griffith Show. I really apologize for that time Hugh Grant got caught with a prostitute. Oh, and Sir Thomas More, I apologize for the public execution. Big sorry to Patrice Lumumba from the CIA-backed coup. Sorry Australia for introducing rabbits. India, our bad that Britain taxed salt-gathering, I'm so sorry. On behalf of Yoko Ono, sorry for breaking up the Beatles. Jewish trade caravans of the 7th century, apologies for the pillaging by the Prophet Muhammad. And finally I apologize to Iran for the Mongols depopulating Persia by like 90%.

There. Our problems are solved now. Would anyone else like to join me in meaninglessly apologizing to other people for other people? Maybe our Marxist colleagues would like to apologize for the Great Leap Forward or Stalin's purges?

I don't know if this makes me a vile conservative, but I think the best way to apologize for slavery would be to invest in black business, to try and build a base of minority industry. Only then can the effects of slavery truly be mediated. It's somewhat late to just apologize.

In other words, make Oppressed Black Bodies have to toil for the reparations that they so rightly deserve. You're not a "vile conservative", you're just a racist reactionary.

They dont deserve reparations.
