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.

Leftists are horrible people. Buy guns and ammo, folks. They will not stop at just ordering you to apologize.

How would they feel if their father got 150 years in the pen for a multiple homicide. Then the father dies in prison after only serving 50 years, then they and their next generations are required to go and finish up the 100 years still owed.

This owing forever generation after generation for something we didn’t personally do is just as irrational as the concept above.

Where to begin..

I regret trifling with married women.

I'm thoroughly ashamed at cheating at cards.

I deplore my occasional departures from the truth.

Forgive me for taking your name in vain, my Saturday drunkenness, my Sunday sloth.

Above all...

Forgive me for the men I've killed in anger...

... and those I am about to.

Can an American Truth and Reconciliation Commission be far behind?

Perhaps she gets these brilliant ideas from her campaign spiritual advisor and guru, the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Sounds like the Man's Prayer from the Red Green Show

I'm a man

but I can change

if I have too. Amen

Honey, why don’t you apologize for wasting my time with this nonsense?

She obviously never grew up or lived around blacks as a poor white person.

Were the citizens of the defeated Confederacy forced to make reparations to the citizens of the Union for the property damage they had done and lives they had destroyed during the Civil War?

I have lived my entire life judging people by the content of their character!

I WILL BE DAMMED IF I WILL APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE JUST BECAUSE SOME BIMBO SAYS THAT IF I’M WHITE AND THEY ARE BLACK, I OWE THEM AN APOLOGY!

SCREW YOU, LADY! GET A REAL JOB AND SHUT THE HELL UP!
