In reply to the discussion: stop apologizing, white people on du [View all]NonMetro
(631 posts)27. You're Right. Apologies For Things Others Have done A Waste Of Time.
It's also dishonest. Why would anyone, for instance, "apologize" for things that happened hundreds of years ago? Why should anyone feel guilty enough to apologize for things other people did? Why should anyone "assume" the guilt of a whole race of people when a "whole race of people" is never guilty of anything, anyway. It's dishonest, and it makes me wonder about the motives of those who do such things.
