So you don't understand the difference between race and nationality?Yep. African. Your people have been enslaving people for thousands of years. We await your apology.
I understand you think someone alive today is responsible for the actions of their ancestors. I'm merely judging you by your own racist standard.So you don't understand the difference between race and nationality?Yep. African. Your people have been enslaving people for thousands of years. We await your apology.
I'm not an African, I'm an American of African descent Matt.As an African, have you apologized for your role in slavery?
And when their grown children do something horrible like commit a mass shooting or something equally horrible, the parents/family still often will apologize to the family of the affected victims. They didn't commit the crime yet they still apologize on behalf of their errant offspring or family member.Parents are responsible for their children, but no one alive is responsible for slavery, except for Africans because they STILL practice slavery.Why do parents apologize on behalf of their children?How can a person apologize for something they didnt do? Answer the question.
It is presumably because most good people recognize when something unspeakably horrible is done that harms others and it gives them twinges of discomfort. Lots of people can ignore those feelings but some acknowledge them, speak out and in some cases work to attempt to make amends for the harm that was caused.
If you still don't understand then reverse engineer the situation, none of this could have occurrd without the legalization of slavery and the enforcement of the laws by the government. The city of Charleston is a governmental body which played a part in the destruction that occurred. It hurts them in no way to apologize for the human rights violations that the city as a government body engaged in.
The fact that you all take exception to the apology speaks volumes however.
I forgive them. They've wrong me exactly as much as they've wronged her.And when their grown children do something horrible like commit a mass shooting or something equally horrible, the parents/family still often will apologize to the family of the affected victims.

THey have apologized. Do you forgive them?
So instead of merely answering "no I don't know the difference between race and nationality" you decided to instead just pile on the stupid huh? Are you the City of Charleston or any other governmental agency? If not, then what are you complaining about and how does an apology from the city of Charleston for the role that governmenal agency played in the enslavement of people of African descent adversely affect you? Hint: It doesn't.I understand you think someone alive today is responsible for the actions of their ancestors. I'm merely judging you by your own racist standard.
You are not a slave, and I have never owned slaves. I owe you NOTHING. You owe me nothing. Move on!

You sound like an idiot. Thats like asking a rape victim to apologize for being raped. Why did you ask such a stupid question?As an African, have you apologized for your role in slavery?Charleston formally apologizes for its role in slavery
A southern city is formally apologizing for its dark past.
Charleston, South Carolina, has approved a resolution that condemns and apologizes for the centuries of human slavery that were supported and promoted by its former lawmakers. The city council's 12 members voted 7-5 to adopt the symbolic resolution Tuesday night, coinciding with "Juneteenth," the celebratory anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the United States.
The port city played a major role in the Atlantic slave trade. Nearly half of the people who were abducted from their homes in Africa and shipped to the United States to be sold into slavery took their first steps on American soil in Charleston. Slaves made up almost half of the city's population before the start of the American Civil War, according to the International African American Museum in Charleston.
"This is the modern city council which feels the need to make an apology for the institution of slavery in the city of Charleston," Charleston councilman William Dudley Gregorie, who helped author and shepherd the resolution, told ABC News in a telephone interview before Tuesday's vote.

When whites give all the land back they stole from native americans.When are the native Americans going to apologize for torturing whites to death and bashing out the brains of white infants?
When will these outrages be addressed?
Your people enslaved each other. Where do you think the word slave comes from?Yep. African. Your people have been enslaving people for thousands of years. We await your apology.I'm not an African, I'm an American of African descent Matt.
The natives didn't own it so they couldn't have anything stolen from them. Native Americans had no concept of land ownership.When whites give all the land back they stole from native americans.When are the native Americans going to apologize for torturing whites to death and bashing out the brains of white infants?

Who told you they didnt own it? Sounds like a lot of ignorant white Rand bullshit to me. If they didnt have the concept of land ownership why did they fight among themselves over land? So again when whites give all the land back you will get your apology.The natives didn't own it so they couldn't have anything stolen from them. Native Americans had no concept of land ownership.When whites give all the land back they stole from native americans.When are the native Americans going to apologize for torturing whites to death and bashing out the brains of white infants?

Remember when you used to deny being black?I'm not an African, I'm an American of African descent Matt.As an African, have you apologized for your role in slavery?
Then why were you begging for reparations in this thread? Youre a lying racist.And there is a hell of a lot that you don't understand about this topic and me specifically if you think I'm a racist or that I want money from you.You are not a slave, and I have never owned slaves. I owe you NOTHING. You owe me nothing. Move on!
Worst analogy ever.Thats like asking a rape victim to apologize for being raped.As an African, have you apologized for your role in slavery?Charleston formally apologizes for its role in slavery
