Apologies are generally good gestures if sincere. When we do something wrong we should apologize.
However when we apologize for things we know we have no control over or we know not to be wrong/malicious, we are being disingenuous to ourselves and others.
Dishonest people demand apologies for no wrong doing. When they get those apologies they don’t forgive and move on.
They pile on and humiliate with shame. Then that’s not enough and they attack anyone who associates with you. Then that’s not enough and they attempt, often successfully to bankrupt you by getting you fired.
Then that’s not enough and they attack anyone who hires you afterwards.
It seems they are never satisfied with anything short of killing yourself (immediately or slowly with an unhealthy mindset and lifestyle).
A common way to attack people today, especially white males who dare to speak against the oligarchs’ agenda is to label them as bigots.
Racism is wrong and I said in my first article that it would not be tolerated here. My last article spoke against racism.
But I meant true racism-out casting and/or attacking people based on their background.
The truth is we are all prejudice to some degree. You are, right?
Come on. Be honest with yourself if nobody else. We all pre-judge people.
I do. I do my best to fight it but sometimes fail.
Oh, not me. I voted twice for Obama and…and I I go out of my way to be extra nice to my black coworkers and…and my nanny is an immigrant. Okay Nancy.
You never clutched your purse at the sight of an intimidating black man? Never crossed the street or waited for the next elevator?
If you are a person of color you never automatically thought a wealthy white person will look down upon you without a shred of evidence? You never assumed someone didn’t like you just because he’s a cop?
You never told a racial joke? Never came home in disgust because someone of a different race cut you off and let a derogatory comment you wouldn’t say in public go?
Nope. Never! Okay, let’s play along. As a black friend of mine once challenged me, have you thought it?
Be honest. If you are human, you absolutely have.
By this standard, everyone is prejudiced to some degree. It doesn’t mean you act on it.
It’s actions that matter. I also said in that first article that I will not buy into the white guilt agenda (which is perpetrated by the white elites).
I am guilty of what I am guilty of. I will not pay the check for those who went before me.
I am seeing white people apologizing for their privilege. Some are privileged. Do they owe an apology for capitalizing on a break?
Apologizing for your race is dishonest and those who demand it are more dishonest and will not be satisfied if you do. How can you honestly apologize for what you have no control over?
Slavery in the United States (fought for by the DemonRat Party) was in my opinion the second worst atrocity in our nation’s history to Roe vs. Wade.
However, I wasn’t here. So I will not take responsibility. Jim Crow, also held sacred by the DemonRat Party was another atrocity.
Again, I was not here so how can I logically be responsible?
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Breeze apologized for his position of disagreement with kneeling for the American flag. He’s probably a good man, but what a pussy if that’s what he truly believes.
It’s a legitimate opinion. Doesn’t make it law so why should he apologize for it?
A college football coach just apologized for wearing a One American News Network shirt on a fishing trip in his spare time. And we wonder why the right is getting crushed in the culture war?
Would anyone be asked to apologize for wearing a CNN shirt? You know, the network who had to make a monetary settlement with hero Nick Sandmann for reporting fake news.
That is also the network who’s anchor Van Jones claimed that even the most liberal, well-intentioned white person has a virus in his or her brain that can be activated at an instant.
Apologizing for nothing or something over which you have zero control is like feeding a grizzly bear on a camping trip.
First it’s a little piece of ham. Not satisfied. Then a can of spam. Not satisfied.
Then all your honey; still not satisfied. Eventually, you have fed him every morsel you brought and it still isn’t enough.
That’s when he starts eating you. Talk soon.

PS: I am certainly not the boss of how anyone spends his leisure time. However, if these issues strike at your soul and you continue to watch team sports which have developed a cultural corrosion, you are part of the problem.
Life has gone on fine without them. Chances are you now spend more quality time with quality people in your life. That’s much better than staring at some spoiled millionaire who cares far less about whether he wins or loses than you do.
