ooh.. let the flame wars begin (not here, of course).. the Internet might shut down soon.. :wink:

 

The first step to legal damages? Not likely but we'll see.

 

All of this is ceremonial bullshit. What's the point of apologizing for something when you aren't taking steps to clean up the legacies of said acts? Nonsense.

 

When it comes to Slavery talk is cheap especially for slave reparations. Apologies are much easier since there is no money involved.
