Shut the fuck up. None of that silly shit is logical.The Democrat Party should pay any reparations made for slavery. The Republicans are owed a debt of gratitude for ending it.An apology doesn't mean shit. People apologize all the time and don't mean it. When you say "what can I do to make it right?" and follow through with action then and only then will an apology mean anything.Because you know an apology won't be all anyone wants, it's always something more.What does any of that have to do with why our government can't apologize and make amends for everything from slavery to the last thing in the list I mentioned, some of which are still occurring to date even though our laws have made such actions and behaviors unlawful?What's different?The government now is not the same either.I said the government.You want people to apologize and atone for something that they are not responsible for?Because the United States has never acknowledged, apologized and atoned for slavery, black codes, the convict leasing system, Jim Crow, separate but equal (which of course never was) which was essentially codified racial discrimination against black people, redlining, racial deed restrictions, "whites only" water fountains, restrooms, restaurants, hotels, etc., etc. etc. not to mention the stolen wealth in terms of outright theft and theft of labor, loss of interest, denial of access to the justice system, again, etc. etc. etc. Oh and let's not forget the oftentimes just cruel and sadistic treatment of black people by whites that was sanctioned by United States law.
Why Can't the Left Let Go of Slavery?3 Jul 2021 ~~ By Kevin Downey Jr.Why Can't the Left Let Go of Slavery?

Don’t Want to Be Your Grudge Slave
The British brought slavery to the New World and Americans ended it roughly 230 years later. Every black person descended from slaves owes a debt to their ancestors’ struggles. The abomination of slavery is the reason most black people are here, in the greatest country in the world. I’m guessing almost every black American lives a better life than their counterparts in the modern-day Ivory Coast, where many slaves came from, and where today almost 50% of the country lives in poverty (African poverty, not American iPhone poverty) and the life expectancy for men and women is under 60 years. The poverty rate in Liberia, settled by liberated slaves, is even worse.
Yet some people just can’t let slavery go. Olympic hammer-tosser/headline-hustler Gwen Berry was “pissed” when the National Anthem was played after she won the bronze medal and made it to the Olympic team, even narcissistically suggesting it was a “setup” against her. Why else would they play the National Anthem at an Olympic American sports event other than to piss off an athlete no one has ever heard of in a sport no one knew was a sport?
Comment:
Factually, Slavery only existed in the United States of America for 89 years, 1776-1865.
The Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Commies wants to remember when slavery was the law and people were subject and obliged to obey slavery laws. The left needs and wants slaves.
PM/DSA Commies can’t win by productivity.
PM/DSA Commies have discovered they can only win by disqualifying the productive: abuse cultural norms of fairness and culpability (whatever those are at the time) to eject the objectively productive, that competition be removed up for grabs. Having vanquished those who actually do the work, a “cargo cult” follows - having seized the trappings of success, they expect the fruits of productivity will follow; that failing (to their surprise), they handle subsequent supply-and-demand problems by reducing demands - first by rationing, eventually by slaughter. As seen in all Communist totalitarian regimes....
I'm sure I left out a bunch of stuff but that should be enough to give you an idea.
Oh and the most important part I forgot to mention is that because the racial discriminatory acts and hatred are still occurring in 2021 in spite of it being unlawful is probably the biggest reason why much progress isn't being made on that front.Need more?
- A demented sock puppet sits in the Oval Office...asleep at the wheel.
- The monkeys are running the zoo.
- Marxism is infecting the minds of useful idiots.
- Liberals are ruining entire cities and states.
- Lunatics have taken of the Democrat Party.
- Tenured teachers are indoctrinating children to hate each other.
Stalling until everyone who was directly affected is dead may have sounded like a good strategy at the time it was thought of, but continuing to pretend that changing the laws made everything better without any accompanying change in people's behaviors, hearts or minds and that the only problem now is that black people won't stop talking about the way our government allowed a bunch of white supremacists to screw over members of a an entire race is just stupid, especially since the interest is still accruing on the debt they don't want to acknowledge.
Giving reparations will never be enough for the lazy people that refuse get off their asses and work for a living rather than demanding being supporting by taxpayers.
