False. Whites commit the vast majority of crimes. Its not even close.White Americans have committed way more crime than Blacks could ever dream of. Have they apologized?Shouldn’t the cities in Africa that helped create this apologize as well?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.

Shouldn't Black Americans apologize for all the crimes they've committed?
Wrong. Black-crime statistics are sky-high.
You're wrong. Blacks have the highest crime-stats. They overcrowd our prisons.
