And this, with all the other bleeding heart liberal ‘confessions-made-by-proxy’ for others’ actions will be placed in the compendium activists will one day present as evidence of malice and culpability in that final onslaught legal suit for ‘reparations’.

Does this really make blacks feel better?

Markell is a self loathing Jew.

Wasn’t about half of Delaware above the Mason-Dixon Line? Silly gubner! You and your buddies are apologizing for something you didn’t do!

You can’t apologize for what somebody else did.

Moreover, Delaware lost a lot of men in the civil war, trying to abolish slavery.

If there ever was any debt, it’s been paid, in blood, in full.

He should forfeit all his assets for personal reparations.

Can’t apologize for something you did not do.

It's like apologizing for ever having a birthday.

” aimed at promoting “reconciliation and healing.””

A good thing.
All the people alive today who were slaves before 1865 deserve an apology.

not a black face in the group

I see four. Extreme right, second from right, fourth from right and to the left of the governor.

...to gain various advantages.

I'm afraid I'm completely cynical on this one and I agree.

The people pushing for these kinds of admissions/apologies etc. really don't give a rat's backside about what may or may not have happened 150+ years ago to some great grand relative.

No, it is about the money. I guarantee you. They get a few more of these kinds of things on record and the push for reparations will become a deafening din. Then a few well placed people will step in to help "organize" and "represent" and distribute said reparations...

This is not about respect, or justice - it involves neither. This is a slow motion, well planned and funded shakedown pure and simple.

The beginning of the end, it is funny, my uncle was doing a ancestry search and found out we were brought here as slaves, that ended that search, as he thought we were royalty. Just white crackers.

As long as he didn’t apologize for the religion of submission. Because they will never stop enslaving mankind until they breathe no more.

Who did he address it to?
The families of the men who died fighting for the Union?

RE:”Delaware Governor Signs Resolution Apologizing for Slavery”

Makes perfect sense.

How about apologizing to the (America) Indians for Columbus and the Pilgrims too?
