From the “We’re Not Making This Up” Department: Senate apologizes for slavery
Senate apologizes for slavery, can reparations be far behind?
Via I HATE THE MEDIA
In a blatantly political move designed to keep President Obama from hogging all the good apologies, the United States Senate has apologized for slavery.
Right. We understand that slavery was cruel and inhumane. But don’t apologize on our behalf. Our grandparents were still wearing wooden shoes in Holland 50 years after slavery was abolished. They had nothing to do with slavery. Neither did we.
While the Senate’s in an apologizing mood, maybe they could apologize for some other stuff. Like that plaid sports coat my dad wore to church every Sunday. Pat Boone records. Spaghetti-Os. Afro perms. Leisure suits. Car 54, Where Are You. MTV. White bread. Yanni. The Black Sox scandal. Joe Biden’s hairplugs. The 1958 Cadillac. Barry Bonds.
Maybe the Senate could even get a head start and apologize now for the reparations movement their slavery apology is sure to inspire.
Yeah … and how about an apology for some of my Cherokee relatives?
