Thread Name: BS: Apologies over slave trade?
Subject: RE: BS: Apologies over slave trade?
I fail to see why people have the need to apologise for injustices carried by their ancestors....or why others have the need to hear those apologies....when neither party was involved. It is nonsensical. I refuse to apologise for being white....I refuse to apologise for the fact that my ancestors may or may not have had slaves...I refuse to apologise that my people wore grey. I refuse to apologise for things that I had no control over, things I had no involvement in, things done long before my greatgrandfather was born.
