Not only does it not solve any problems, but it won't be enough. I don't owe any of them one cent. None of them can legitimately blame slavery for their problems. Those are made up issues that have no basis in the real world.
Blaming slavery is an excuse not a reason.
Actually, it all started with slavery. They were forced here by brutal slave traders. And then a couple hundred years of horrific treatment followed. This stuff has everything to do with Slavery.
Their own tribal chiefs sold them into slavery.
The problem with you wanting me as a white person to apologize for slavery is that not one member of my family ever owned slaves. I have nothing to apologize for nor is such an apology warranted. If you want an apology get all those that actually owned slaves to apologize to those that were slaves.
Not talkin about a personal apology. I'm talkin about a collective nation acknowledgement and atonement gesture.
That's the same as forcing a personal apology from every American.
Go fuck yourself. I've done nothing to apologize for.
It's not. It's a collective acknowledgement of the awful suffering African Americans have endured for centuries. It would do our nation's conscience some good. Maybe then we could move on.
