i agree, but buffalo took it a step further to insult an entire race of people living in the united states.
I'm sure dem white folks he insulted will forgive him if they not too tired from workin'.
Please people, can't we just get along?

No one has answered the question. Is there any other group of people still wanting an apology for something that happened many generations ago?
What a daft argument. That your parents shared with you their genetic code doesn't make you responsible for whatever else they did with it before you had a choice in such matters.strange to hear such an ardent capitalist claiming you arent responsible for the actions of your father, while at the same time viciously defending your right to pass on your wealth to your children.
make up your mind. should we all be born with a clean slate and an equal start, or are you - by benefitting from your fathers actions - endorsing them?
Your natural bigotry assumes that I am not black.I would, too. But it doesn't come up much. Can't remember the last time it did, in fact. Maybe it's your attitude. For instance, I don't think so poorly of your intellect because I think you're white or anything like that. Rather, it's your spiteful attitude, dodgy theses, and incompetent arguments. Maybe this applies in your own life, or maybe you just live in one of those strange neighborhoods where people say dumb stuff like, "Hey, you! I've never met you, but you're white, so you owe me an apology for treating my great-grandpa like a circus monkey!"
No. I expect too many worthy adversaries.Once again, your retort utterly misses the mark. That you have no sympathy whatsoever for your fellow human beings might actually have something to do with how you think people perceive you. Maybe it's not your skin. Maybe it's just your striking, glittering inhumanity.
I'd ask what irony you're referring to, but I'm afraid that we'd get bogged down there. If you bothered to answer coherently at all, your history here suggests that the answer would be one rooted in such amazing contortions of logic that we'll all be surprised that your back's not broken.
Given that slavery in the United States changed the face of slavery around the world, I think it's pretty damn ridiculous to expect the African chiefs to have realized what they were getting into.
Who pretends that? Once Whitey deals with his share for once, the discussion can move on. If Whitey's role dominates the discussion, it's mostly because Whitey is too cowardly to admit that role.
Depends on what you're talking about. But you're doing a great job of pretending.
What was it you said? Oh, yeah. "Pretend ...." Seems to be your talent. I suppose I should stop viewing you as lacking creativity or imagination. After all, it does take some effort to be so hateful and arrogant. It would be interesting if you would find some new ways, but your variations on a theme definitely contradict the notion that you are an uninspired dolt.
Yeah. You expect too many apologies.

Blacks should be more concerned that 75% of their population is born out of wedlock. The whole issue with the "apology thing" goes back to the fact that black leaders have a tendency to focus on the least important issues, and consistently harp about ridiculous things that will have no positive effect on their community, such as an apology. Until blacks develop leaders who can concentrate on the real issues they will continue to have challenges with crime and poverty.
Your natural bigotry assumes that I am not black.
Your natural bigotry assumes that I am not agreeable enough to be black.
Your natural bigotry assumes that I am too Independent to be black.
Your natural bigotry assumes that I am less black than you.
Your natural bigotry assumes that black people need empowerment by extorted apology instead of being empowered by natural ability.
And you presume to lecture me about spiteful, dodgy incompetence?
Of course you would.![]()
The scourge of slavery and the exploitation of colonialism destroyed Africa and left it in a mess . How about cancelling Africas debt and making a gift of say $10 billion annually for the next 20 years to be invested in the continent to rebuild the continent into a more sustainable enviroment . Then America could place all foriegn aid into African American neighbourhoods and create through free education and empowerment a stable Black middle class and stable employed working class , where the Black community is independent and able to stand on its own feet . I agree aologies are superfluous action and money speak .As everyone will know slavery was abloished 200 years ago.

I thought when I mentioned :slavery has effected many people and many were slavers long before the U.S was around, maybe your own relatives were slave holders.
that readers would of realised I was talking Europe , I believe Europe should pay the $10 billion a year and increase African exports into the EU as repayment . I meant America take care of their 30 million citizens who are direct descendants of slavery .The scourge of slavery and the exploitation of colonialism destroyed Africa and left it in a mess

having lived in one for years, i can say that you are full of shit, and what you stated above borders on racism.

Alex, answer these questions for me, and you'll know why some Blacks demand an apology.
1) When the Slaves were freed what rights did they have?
2) How many years after they were freed did they earn the right to vote?
3) How many years after they were freed did they have the right to eat next to a white person?
4) How many years after they were freed could a Black Person marry a White Person without breaking the law?
What you're going to find my clueless friend is that many of these rights were earned in the last 60 years. Slaves may have been freed 200 years ago, but Jim Crowe Laws and segregation continued the legacy for many decades after. And it still carrys on today. Once you start to date outside of your race you'll see that not much has changed at all.
