Man, I don't feel guilty about that at all...maybe I should feel guilty about doing it way, way too much. You need to repent Mike, and do it fast.

The apology is not about righting past injustices. No apology will ever accomplish that. It is simply about a gesture to everyone....not just blacks....the our government recognizes its fallibilty. To refuse to apologize for an injustice is juvenile and selfish. The only arguments I am hearing against apologies tend to be based in pride and apathy....."why should I apologize?" or "who cares, what will it matter?" I wonder why, at the Judgment bar, we will all be stricken with a full knowledge of our actions? Why bother making every knee bow and every tongue confess? Why open up the old Book of Life and review the past? At that point, what difference does it make? it wont change anything--what's done it done, no? Why would the Savior pick away at the scab, rip open the scars, and rile up feelings of American White Guilt? Let's all move on, shall we?

Why did the church apologize for the Mountain Meadows Massacre recently? Why didn't they stick to covering it up or at least not apologize?

According to some here, perhaps it was motivated by a desire to stir up White American Guilt?

Ah, I feel better already. In terms of so-called unintented consequences.

I'm nothing if not consistent on this.
