    Ahh yes apologies… How about slavers, owners and their beneficiaries give up ill gotten gains…

    In US, we have talks of reparations but the momenent someone suggests that slave owners and their estates and crotch fruit pay for it… Not the wage slave taxpayers, conversations is quickly stopped.

    dAtS coMInism, pLz don’t SaY it, my family dindu nuffing mayne, and if they did, slaves deserved it. Why do you hate private property?!

      Agreed, they deserve reparations, but the slavers also deserve to be punished.

      If they’d behaved after the civil war it would be one thing, but they were monsters with Jim crow and the kkk and they never once properly apologized.

      Unless you want to count thousands of statues of Nathan Bedford Forrest and everybody flying the confederate flag to be an apology, which I don’t.
