I would kneel in solidarity with the black community. I greatly admire those police officers in various cities who chose to kneel alongside protesters. Not so much an apology, but a way to say "I'm with you. I understand. I'm not your enemy".
From the OP's article: "The black people in attendance accepted the apology and kneeled with the white people in prayer." That's a beautiful thing, right there.
It takes strength and courage to do what these people did. The pathetic weaklings are those who can't see past there own insecurities to confront racism.

Strength and courage? I suppose, if they're admitting they're racist and wronged those individuals.
I'm not kneeling before anyone. This imposed guilt is a disgrace.

In solidarity? I would kneel with the black community, too.
When you said it took courage, is this what you were talking about? Or kneeling and asking for forgiveness?
I may have misunderstood your post and would like clarification.

It takes strength and courage to apologize to blacks for something you never did to them decades ago and even if you weren't even alive back then? WTH do you mean? I have no problem standing with blacks against racism and no matter who the racists are but apologizing for a past for something I never even played a role in? Isn't that saying you are guilty just by race and guilty for something you didn't even do? Please explain.

Haven't we seen the before, the Inquisition, Salem Witch trials, Mao's Struggle Sessions?
