To the devils of political correctness. Yesterday, both houses of our state legislature passed a resolution
apologizing for slavery. You may be asking; So What? Well, my question is, what's next? Of course, it's probably only a matter of time before the federal government passes a similar resolution. We've already apologized to the Indians, and if I'm not mistaken we've applies to Japan for the A-bombs dropped in WWII. So why stop there? When will we apologize to the British for that whole revolution and declaring independence nonsense? Where's the apology for bombing the hell out of Germany, twice? When will the north officially apologize to the South for starting that war?(we can safely say that one's never gonna happen)? Let's not forget, we have people falling all over themselves to apologize the very people who wish to enslave this entire country, every single day.
Exactly what is the purpose of such an apology anyway? Who are we apologizing to? Every person who was ever enslaved(legally anyway) in this country is long dead. Who exactly is the state apologizing for? Every person who ever owned a slave in this country is long dead. Most people likely don't even know if there family owned slaves, or if anyone in there family were slaves. The whole thing only serves to keep a long dead issue in the headlines, and lend credibility to the Sharpton's of the world when they start spouting about reparations for slavery, which reveals their true agenda(and it's not about righting wrongs, it's about pandering).
The best quote in the Montgomery Advertiser's article is from Rep. Jay Love who said "The problem I have is apologizing for something I didn't do". I concur. So let me put this in no uncertain terms. I love Alabama, I'm proud of her heritage(the good outweighs the bad), but this time the State of Alabama does not speak for me.
I do NOT apologize. I have nothing to apologize for.
