If conservatives ran the world, Congress would apologize for passing and the states would apologize for ratifying the 16th Amendment.

Here it comes. This is just a warmup for a move for reparations for former slaves. More money from the public coffers to give to dem voters.

"The House on Tuesday issued an unprecedented apology to black Americans for the wrongs committed against them and their ancestors who suffered under slavery and Jim Crow segregation laws. "

EXCUSE ME. I'M PAYING YOU. COULD YOU GO TO WORK AND RESOLVE THE $4+ GALLON OF GAS SITUATION NOW? SLAVERY HAS BEEN OVER FOR DECADES. I'D LIKE TO FEED MY KID NOW, THANK YOU FOR EARNING YOUR RIDICULOUS AND GIGANTIC ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT SALARY THAT ENTITLES YOU TO DO STUPID THINGS LIKE THIS THAT TAKE UP TIME AND WASTES MY MONEY...

Why’d they do that? Jim Crow laws weren’t Federal laws. They were local ones. So the House apologized for something it didn’t do!

"Today represents a milestone in our nation's efforts to remedy the ills of our past," said Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, D-Mich.,

Cheeks should take those ills closer to home and put them in the present. She's trying to take the spotlight off her thuggish, crooked, adulterous, disgusting, and lying son, Kwame, the soon-to-be-former Mayor of Detroit and future convict.

I guess I don’t understand this.

If Jim does something bad, I can’t apologize for Jim.
Because I’m not Jim.

There’s only one party still in existence responsible for perpetuating slavery and implementing Jim Crow. One guess as to which one that is.

I wish some Republican with stones would make a speech about how there will be no apology for slavery and Jim Crow until the Democrats officially acknowledge, apologize and pay reparations out of their own party coffers for their LEADING ROLE in maintaining and defending the institution of slavery, for birthing the KKK, for enacting and enforcing all of the Jim Crow legislation, and for opposing civil rights legislation throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

Oh, let's not forget the Copperhead Democrats who pressed Lincoln to end the fighting and negotiate an immediate peace with the Confederates.

Oh yeah, and while they're at it, also condemning the outrageous TV appearance of the still-sitting senior Democrat senator Robert Byrd, who not only filibustered AGAINST the civil rights act of 1964 in the Senate, and was an officer in the KKK, but who dared to go on national TV (in the 21st century, yet) to demonstrate his evolved racial understanding by graciously conceding that you don't have to be black to be a "nigger."

I recently made these points to a Democrat of my acquaintance, who responded with the standard "yeah but the Democrats have changed" -- as if America as a whole hasn't.

I think little of the cowardly Republicans who - afraid of being charged with "racism" - allowed this affront to America to pass the House!

YEAH RIGHT !
The crying-babies,mediatic fake “bleeding hearts” are launching the big show ....

As in Europe they want an ENDLESSLY APOLOGIZING GUILTY USA...It’s a way to weaken the american spirit,freedom and pride!
That’s the way liberals weakened Europe and misled it on the path of socialism and multiculturalism.

You might feel guilty about “blacks”,”indians”,”asians”,”mexicans”,”arabs” and “muslims”...
And you can’t say that all those people have had some benefit from the western and US civilization!

SUBMIT TO THE NEW LIBERAL “MORAL” ORDER/DOGMA !

And how does this improve the life of even a single black person? Feelgoodism run amok.

It may be just a matter of time before the New Black Panthers, etc. turn to Obama with an offer he can’t refuse.
Big bucks reparations for ancestors of slaves or ?.

Slavery waste pales in comparison to the wasted aborted babies murdered by liberals. This is nutjob hypocrisy. This is dhimmit behavior. THis is stupid. This is moraly unconfident and bankrupt.

“Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick”

So here we have a black woman apologizing to blacks for how they were treated before she was born.

How dare they speak in my name? The resolution, introduced by Tennessee Democrat Steve Cohen, strictly for personal political gain, implicates me in acts that neither I nor any of my ancestors were involved with, as is the case I’m sure, of millions of other Americans.

I carry no guilt and I owe no apology!

Regarding reparations, my oldest son heard his boot camp DI, a very black man from Missouri, say “Make them prove who the slave in their family was. Most of them don’t know who their daddy was, much less their great grandfather.”

Jawdropper, no?

Um, excuse me, but it was Democrats who gave us Jim Crow Laws and wanted to continue slavery. Republicans were lynched over the slavery issue post civil war. This is nonsense and just leading up to taxes for reparations.
