PRE CIVIL WAR SLAVERY: Dead Issue. Let it Rest In Peace.

Yesterday, the Arkansas legislaature wasted their time and I don't know how many taxpayer dollars passing a....thing.....that "apologizes for Arkansas' role in slavery". I don'y want to hear all the politically correct crap about this noble gesture. What I want to hear these learned elected officials explain is exactly WHO these apologies are going TO.

I have neither BEEN a slave, nor enslaved anyone, have you? Your parents? No? Not surprised. It's been around a century and a half, people. NO ONE alive today had anything whatsoever to do with either side of this argument. No one. This is AMERICA, folks. "Making it" here has to do with you getting off your ass and DOING SOMETHING for yourself. It does NOT have to do with pissing and moaning because you great great great grandparents either were slaves or owned them. It didn't affect YOU in the least, except maybe to give you something to brag or bitch about or blame all the problems you don't have the balls to deal with yourself on.

Apologize for American pre-civil war slavery? That's like me apologizing because the guy down the street kicked your dog....before he died.....ten years ago.
