Isn't that saying you are guilty just by race and guilty for something you didn't even do? Please explain.

Damn straight, it is!

Hell no!! I've never done anything to "oppress" black people. I will quite stubbornly treat them the same as anyone else till the day I die. I have nothing to apologize for.

The truth of the matter: If every white person on the planet was voluntarily brutally tortured to death and whites went completely extinct, it still wouldn't be enough. Nothing will ever be enough. White people kneeling before black people begging for forgiveness is just a disgusting display.

It's also becoming a mandatory ritual within Blue Church cult. The Left, especially the Far Left, has become a religion complete with ritualistic chants, original sin (white privilege), purity testing, virtual burning of heretics, etc. But is anyone bothering to ask the obvious question, "Is this making the world a better place?" Brainwashing white people into hating themselves doesn't seem like a net positive for the world to me. Call me crazy.

Will the black man who raped me kneel and beg forgiveness? Will the black woman who robbed me at knifepoint kneel? I don't even think so.

Well Obama went on his apology tour and look how that turned out. I didn't do a thing to the black community and have nothing to apologize for, same with most Americans.

Will you see the black community apologizing for looting and burning our cities? Killing and assaulting police officers? Destroying their own neighborhoods and businesses? No, you won't.

They owe this country an apology for acting like savages, not the other way around. I agree that they have some legitimate beefs, but their actions in the last week or so are not the way to address them.

Personally I feel like the narrative now (I mean how long are these protests going to go on? Forever??) is to label white people with some scarlet letter, and I, for one, resent the hell out of it.

I'm not apologizing because I'm white.

When people harp on about white privilege excessively I think that's racist.

I hope these cops rot in jail, 10000000% that was murder but I'm really getting sick of the current situation.

This guy of COURSE did not deserve to die but gentle giant he wasn't. He was an ex-con who was convicted of robbing a woman at gunpoint, just one of his 3 stents incarcerated.

If a random white person wants to apologize to me for what they have done to American Blacks (I get perceived as Black by some), I'd tell them that my ancestory wasn't African and my parents immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s so their ancestors did NOTHING to mine. Then I'd turn around and apologize to them for people of my color that have murdered innocent whites for no reason .
