Apologize for Slavery?

Why?

Who benefited from slavery?

Exactly who TODAY actually benefits from slavery, and the "apologies" forthcoming in different areas?

Noteworthy:


"The effort to get apologies for injustices committed decades and centuries ago emanates from the view of activists as superior to their predecessors. It is the shout of the child to the parent: 'Apologize!'"


"It is also a way to keep their status visible and to continue victimhood in order to continue such policies as affirmative action, an idea that directly contradicts notions of fairness and universal rights."


"But rather than using the examples of their forebears as inspiration, many blacks and their white liberal exploiters, capitalize on slavery for their own advancement. If anything, the black descendants ought to criticize how the white elite have used the legacy of slavery to their own advantage, to cull political favor, to position themselves as superior to others in their own race, to write the books that publishers want and that will earn them royalty checks and gain them tenure."



"Face it: It’s the elites who want to live off the capital of slaves in one way or another. The agitation for apologies reeks of insincerity and self-promotion.

It’s time to move on. Black descendants should display some of the dignity of their forebears. White elites should finally do some real, productive work."



Exactly so.

It's time for certain elements in our media, government, and society in general to STOP PLAYING RACIAL POLITCS. both nationally and especially locally here in Greensboro and Guilford County.
