Sanders: 'We have got to apologize for slavery

[bonkers1919]

I have nothing to apologize for and will not be shamed into thinking I am guilty for my fore fathers actions.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

No I didn't. For what?

I'm not sure but I did see a little flareup in the Sanders thread that was locked. I had considered PMing him to implore him to ignore the instigation before he gets shootered but I didn't.

Lesson learned. Friends shouldn't let friends post offended.

For *that* thread? Ah geez!

There's got to be more to it than that.

Stuff may have got deleted that we didn't see. When Paul closed it I didn't see anything all that bad and so I assumed that whatever prompted the lock was likely deleted.

Gotta be. If he was banned just because of what's left, wow...

This will be INGOs loss.

I emailed him to ask about it. He didn't know why it happened either.

Do we know if it is a perm or temp ban?

Was there a claim of mean PMs being made, maybe?

Interesting. I don't have a personal email for him but sent one to his shop "contact" email address. I figure he hasn't had a chance to look at it yet.

Dear Mr. Sanders,

If you REALLY want to have an impact on slavery, why not visit some of the countries labeled in orange or red in this chart? THEY Could use your assistance. Complaining about slavery in America is nothing but political posturing.

I have no idea right now. Hope it's only temporary!

That's the addy I used as well. Haven't gotten a second reply. When I asked him what happened he just replied, "Dunno?"

In another thread a poster used the word "reparations" and was told that's a dog whistle, presuming that it was a codeword for a racial slur. Me, being the Sith Lord of sarcasm, I could not pass up the opportunity to bring up the reference, pointing out the absurdity of that claim.

Hey! Wait! Was that me? And if so, was I the whistler or the whistle-ee?

Come to think of it, I don't really know. You'd have to ask the accuser what his code words mean.

Well, okay. But was I the accuser, the accusee, or neither?

2 weeks according to the big board.

I hope he returns. I like the guy.

 

[jamil]

I think that the accuser would say you were an accuser, if that makes any sense.

Thats a relief. I agree, he's a great dude. A good reminder that good people lose their heads and get themselves shootered. Could happen to anyone. On a couple of occasions I have backspaced what I have written, exited the thread and gone to the funny pictures thread.

 

[cce1302]

I don't need to apologize for any of that.


In fact, my own father committed a few crimes in my lifetime. I'm not going to apologize for those, either.

Hah! Methinks it does.

 

[HoughMade]

Personally, I think he has a point.

Anyone who has held slaves or supported slavery should apologize.

Shall we run with that idea? "Employed" sharecroppers and supported Jim Crow? Fair question, right?

You find 'em, I'll sit 'em down and we'll have a talk.

 

[Kutnupe14]

You find 'em, I'll sit 'em down and we'll have a talk.

Yeah, won't find any. Just like when the Allies took Germany, nobody was a Nazi.

 

[jamil]

Yeah, won't find any. Just like when the Allies took Germany, nobody was a Nazi.

Then what more can be done? Does it really mean anything if "America" apologizes, when the people who actually owe apologies are either dead or won't admit it?

Symbolism without substance is worthless.
