I'm Cranky and I Ain't Apologizing!

The House yesterday apologized to black Americans, more than 140 years after slavery was abolished, for the "fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery and Jim Crow" segregation.

In February, the Senate apologized for atrocities committed against Native Americans, and the body apologized in 2005 for standing by during a lynching campaign against African Americans throughout much of the past century. Twenty years ago, Congress apologized for interning Japanese Americans in concentration camps during World War II.


Dear Mr. President, and all your Underlings,

Please do not feel that you should add my name to the House's apology for slavery because I wasn't born then, my parents weren't born then, nor were my grandparents. I don't know much about my great-grandparents except that they were not slave owners, most probably better known as poor white trash back in those days.

I feel that more of your concern should be aimed towards educating some of these fine Americans here that feel their injustices from life come from not having enough given to them so that they can live beyond their means.

Segregation and slavery are things of the past, lets keep them there and move forward toward harmony in a world where the color of your skin, your religion, your stature,,, means only that you're of the human race.
