Meanwhile, we have nationalized car companies, government run healthcare, an invasion along our southern border, and 10-20% unemployment. What exactly does an American representative, who had absolutely nothing to do with any atrocity, apologizing to an American Indian, who was not around when it happened, help anyone? I ask that with Cherokee blood going through my veins.
Wars are waged, lands are lost, to the victors go the spoils. This apology nonsense accomplishes nothing.
I also trace one side of my family back to Norman invaders of England. Maybe I need to go on tour and apologize to the Saxons, Angles and anyone else who thinks they were inconvenienced. Of course the Anglo-Saxons were invaders themselves and so were the Romans and on and on. Would the “original” owners of England please stand up and be recognized so we can all apologize?
