Congressional "House Negros" Support Apology For Slavery Without Reparations

No Reparations for Black people!  Only a bull**** shallow apology.

Six US states - Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Florida, North Carolina and Alabama - have approved separate apologies for slavery during the past 18 months, now the United States Congress apologized to black folks for our past mistreatment.

WTF. Past mistreatment? We are still getting Extra-Judicial Electrocutions on the streets of America, like we are slaves. I'm not sure if congress or the Congressional Black Caucus has been watching or the outrageous police tasing and attempted murder video of the Tasing of a suicidal man and causing him to fall OFF AN OVERPASS AND ONTO THE HIGHWAY, in clear violation of tasing instructions!

And the small matter of trying to be coherent after a day packed with politics.
