Congress Apologizes for the Sins of the White Man
Posted by Dave Blount at July 29, 2008 8:55 PM
Here's what Congress has been doing instead of alleviating our economic woes by lightening up on drilling restrictions:
The House on Tuesday issued an unprecedented apology to black Americans for the wrongs committed against them and their ancestors who suffered under slavery and Jim Crow segregation laws.
In case it isn't obvious that this was a cheap political ploy:
The resolution, passed by voice vote, was the work of Tennessee Democrat Steve Cohen, the only white lawmaker to represent a majority black district. Cohen faces a formidable black challenger in a primary face-off next week.
Cohen even tried to join the Congressional Black Caucus, but they wouldn't let him, because he's Caucasian. Try to imagine a White Caucus that blacks couldn't join.
Now that America has officially apologized for evil deeds done to people who died a long time ago by other people who died a long time ago, can we leave the neurotic race guilt behind us at last?
Of course not, because moonbattery is like a fire: the more you feed it, the hungrier it gets. Next up will be renewed calls for "reparations" — i.e., openly race-based wealth transfers, as opposed to the relatively subtle race-based wealth transfer called welfare. Worse still, an utterly unqualified, anti-American Marxist may be installed in the White House to punish the white man for the sins of his ancestors.
In the long run, not even characters like Steve Cohen and Obama will benefit from this lunacy. When the ship goes down, all hands will be lost.
