City councilors propose act to apologize to Blacks and people affected by Boston’s role in the slave trade. https://whdh.com/news/councilo...its-role-in-slavery/ I’m curious how many people alive in 2022 partook in the slavery trades, from Africa and the West Indies; if they’re alive I’d love to meet them. More woke, pc, leftist, liberal, progressive virtue signaling.This message has been edited. Last edited by: spunk639, | ||

 What a bunch of crap!!! More pandering is all this is. If they think it will make anything different, they are mistaken. ________________________ "Don't mistake activity for achievement." John Wooden, "Wooden on Leadership" | |||

Wait, what? |
If anyone really believes this will placate entitled masses, they are mistaken. The people behind the scenes are stirring the shit pot and right before midterms (not an accident). This will lead to more entitlement and cries for “reparations”… not to mention demands for other woke cities to follow suit. All by design to further divide the country, not unify or heal it. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

And no matter how much they apologize, how much money they give in reparations, it will never be enough. Even if it was every cent in the state, it wouldn't be enough. You can't appease a bully, it only makes them bolder. | |||

It’s a con game. Get out and get a freaking job, spoiled, freeloading losers, Not at all interested or involved in bettering themselves or helping this country, just gimme, gimme, gimme…and you have the nerve to demand more? You get nothing. | |||

Those affected are deceased so….. ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||

Now come the demand for reparation's. Conveniently forgetting the decades of welfare and free medical & dental... Do not necessarily attribute someone's nasty or inappropriate actions as intended when it may be explained by ignorance or stupidity. | |||

Of course it is pandering. They are politicians. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

And in return there will be heartfelt thanks from the African American community for all the Boston area people who fought in the Civil War to free the slaves. | |||

It's Boston. Let them self-identify as idiots. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Exactly. A number of companies are giving their employees the day off for Juneteenth. Of course, there's multiple paragraphs in company-wide emails explaining why, which includes buzzwords like: reflection, active listening, learning and equity. I'm all in favor for more paid holidays, I know what Juneteenth is and the why however this is simply another contrived reason that's been spun out of various marketing and media departments. | |||
