Thank you, Rachel. It was a long time ago and I've worked to keep it low on my list of life's grievances, and watching all the chaos on TV and in CD doesn't help.

I am dark enough that you might perceive me as Black and I apologize for both of them (even though it can't make up for the trauma). So sorry that happened to you.

That's good to hear. Thanks for saying it.

Thank you, but I'd never hold you responsible, for the simple reason that you never wronged me.

Thank you. I'm glad that you can see beyond color and see people as individuals first.

Very sorry to hear. There are no words that would suffice. I've been through more than my fair share of other types of troubles and I can tell you that God can heal more than you can imagine.

God bless.

So it’s disgusting for white Americans to apologize to black people that, as a whole, they have actually done things too.

Meanwhile people think it’s honorable for another alleged non-black minority to kiss their butt and apologize for something he didn’t do?
