On behalf of myself, and on behalf of my country, to you and all African Americans, from the beginning of our nation’s history, in honor of your ancestors and for the sake of your children, please hear this from my heart…

I apologize,

please forgive us.

With this prayer I acknowledge the depth of evils that have been perpetrated against black people in America.

From slavery, to lynchings, to white supremacist laws, to the denial of voting rights, to all the ways both large and small, that abuses have occurred — all of them evil, all of them wrong.

For all the oppression and all the injustice…

I apologize,

please forgive us.

For the denial of human and civil rights, for inequities in criminal justice, for instances of police brutality, for the denial of opportunity, for economic injustice, for all ways that racism has fostered these wrongs…

Approximately 200 black people stood as Williamson instructed whites to apologize for “slavery, lynching, murders, rapes of black women, destruction of the black family, mass incarceration of black men, being called the N-word and systemic and institutionalized racism,” the Houston Chronicle reports.

Piss off wench! No one in my family did a dang thing to anyone of any race. Came over poor from Holland, and worked their fingers to the bone for the American dream.
These race-baiters can literally KMA.

Democrats continue to wants to treat people by their appearance, rather than their character.

MLK would not be allowed anywhere near the DNC stage today.

Shouldn’t it be the Democrat party that needs to apologize?

Why does she not say “some whites” but instead lumps all whites together?

There are whites who came from overseas, were dirt poor, and never did anything to any black person.

And should middle class and rich black people apologize for the systemic and generational white poverty in the Appalachians?

Dear Black People of America:

I’m sorry that your great-great-great-great-great-grandfathers sold your great-great-great-great-grandfathers and great-great-great-great-grandmothers to the Arab Slavers, who then shipped them all over the wold and sold them to people who had work for them.

This hippie bitch needs to kill herself for the cause. That would be one less cracker in society.

Dear Black Americans,

I am Sorry the Democrats held your ancestors in Slavery

I am Sorry the Democrat Party Filibustered Every Civil Rights legislation to come down the pike.

I am Sorry the Democrat Party Created and Enacted into Law Every Jim Crow Law ever dreamed of.

I am Sorry the Democrat Party Created and Operated the KKK

I am Sorry the Democrat Party Enslaved you and your people in Welfare and Dependence

Why exactly are the Majority of Black Americans Democrats??
