Don’t Apologize For Me
First off the whole thing is a sham. The guy who introduced the bill is a while lawmaker from Memphis who faces a tough primary battle next week. He won the seat several years ago when six blacks split the vote and he emerged as a the only one left standing. Then it was done by a voice vote. So no one had to really “vote” at all. So this whole thing just stinks from the outset.
And don’t apologize for me. I have not enslaved anyone. I have never been close to doing that. So save it all. Slavery was not a good thing, but it happened way too long ago to be affecting what we do today. The people affected by slavery, both slave owners and slaves themselves, have been long gone. We need to push forward and look ahead.
So don’t issue any more apologies for me m wonderful Congress. When I need to apologize I will do it myself. And I have to do a lot of that to start off with.
