TALLAHASSEE — The Legislature issued an apology Wednesday morning for the state’s ‘’shameful” history in enslaving black people and passing laws that called for savage lashings and even the nailing of their ears to posts for crimes like burglary.
”The Legislature expresses its profound regret for Florida’s role in sanctioning and perpetuating involuntary servitude upon generations of African slaves,” said the resolution, pushed by black lawmakers.
What the fuck do they have to apologize for? Not a single one of them had anything to do with slavery. As a white man, I feel no more guilt for slavery than I do for the Holocaust (I’m German, too).
The real irony is that those black lawmakers effectively apologized to…themselves?… for slavery.
Here’s my favorite part of the story:
Sen. Arthenia Joyner, a Tampa Democrat, sobbed during the presentation of the resolution, which passed on a voice vote.
She sobbed? Are you kidding me? What kind of unstable idiots are running the place?
Of course, the real reason for the apology is to open the door for the race hustlers to push for reparations. Because even though not a single one of them has ever been a slave, or even knows anybody who was ever a slave, you can bet your ass that they have their hand out and want “their’s”.
Idiots.
It’s the same “free money and services” that keeps illegals coming to the “Promise Land” by the millions. Our infastructure is going to collapse within 5 years at the rate the strain and handouts of free government money are going. Ellis Island worked really well and kept criminals and contagious diseases out of the country. San Francisco (a sancturary city) has seen a renewal of diseases such as Cholera and Tuberculosis to name a few since allowing large numbers of illegals in. It is all insane.
