Another Useless Apology!

Another Useless Apology!

Well, I see the US Senate has apologized, this week, for all the lynching(s) in the US between 1882 and 1968. What’s next?

Don’t you just love the way the MSM reported this event? They went out of their way to explain how important this was, and they outdid themselves to bring you the history of “failed attempts” at apology legislation in the Congress in the past. They practically stumbled over themselves to point out it was Southern Conservatives who blocked the past proposals for apology legislation. What they didn’t tell you was: those Southern Conservatives were Democrats!

Can you say: “Biased reporting”?

This, Dear Reader, is why we do not trust the MSM. They are simply incapable of presenting the entire picture, all the facts of a story, to their consumers. They will use only the facts that serve their purpose.

Had I known the Senate was about to pass such legislation, I would have publicly disavowed it. It is unnecessary. It is far too late, and it only reopens old wounds and knocks the scabs off others. Plus, it opens the door for more such Politically Correct “feel good” legislation…. with more “unintended consequences”!

So what’s next? Good question, for there will be more apologies, and more demands for apologies… for slights real, or imagined. As the demands grow louder, and more ridiculous, the temperature in the “National Room” will rise until tempers flare and any good that may have been accomplished will be completely defeated. Then, we will have to deal with the damage caused by the Senate’s actions this week. Shame! Shame!

I suppose the next big apology will be for slavery in the US. Well, I’ll be darned if I will apologize! I had nothing to do with it, and I refused to be saddled with a blanket of guilt for something I had nothing to do with! I just want that to be clear! I feel NO NEED to apologize and therefore refuse to ACT like I am sorry for something for which I am wrongly accused! Never!

Again, this P.C. arrow will be aimed at the heart of Old Dixie. As a Dixican, I resent the heck out of that! Check your US History and you will find that SLAVERY WAS LEGAL IN THE ENTIRE US. It was constitutionally protected! It was “Northern Slavers” whose ships brought the slaves from Africa to this country. (And British Ships) It was Northern Slavers who sold the Africans, at auction, in the New England states. Some of the richest families of the Northern states can trace their family fortunes directly back to the slave trade. And finally, for the record, the very first anti-slavery laws, in the US, were passed in the SOUTH!

Reparations? To whom? There is hardly a human being alive, of any race, which cannot trace his/her ancestry back to slavery… somewhere on this earth. Absolutely no reparations! None! So far as I am concerned, it is not even open for discussion, period!

Isn’t it about time America stopped apologizing for being the greatest country in the history of this planet?! It is about time we begin making attempts to avoid the slimy snail trail of the Politically Correct crowd and stand on our feet as men, and women, unashamed, and unapologetic, for being who we are…. citizens of the greatest country on the face of the earth!
