Spearheaded by Councilman William Dudley Gregorie. Wants an office on racial reconciliation. Me thinks he's doing this for political gain. Hmmm For those that live in Charleston, what say you?

Cool. Please let me know when they will be ready with an apology to me for what those Visigoths did to my ancestors. How much should I expect my check to be?
I know that some black people believe ancient Egyptians were black. Have they apologized to the Jews for enslaving them yet? That happened thousands of years before white Americans enslaved black people, so shouldn't they apologize first? You know, set an example?
By the way...if you wanted to mess with SJWs, you could self-identify as a slave

There are people alive today who were affected by the "Jim Crow" laws and other government-sanctioned discrimination, but nobody is apologizing for that. And remember who enacted those.

The right really needs to take a play from the left's rule book.
Extensive background research needs to be done on these idiots. Surely one of more of them had a slave owning ancestor. Make that public and then demand that they and their slave-owning bloodlines step down from public office.
None of my ancestors owned slaves (no matter what color) so why would I or any in my family apologize for something we no knowledge of. But I would like an apology from Amy who broke my heart in 3rd grade (I really love that girl). Just my two cents. Chris
As long as people, and cultures, blame others for their own self induced problems, their problems will only get worse.
And it seems to me most likely the "apology" is merely a stepping stone for "money". And even if they do get the money, they won't solve their problems.

As I have said here before, my great grandfather became an invalid as a result of his service in The Union Army, partly on behalf of the slaves. Please put my substantial check in the mail as soon as possible. I need a new Corvette. Thank you in advance.
