Congress Sneaking Through Nigger Apology Bill - Love Europe, Hate the EU - 6-:19 -0-09-20

WASHINGTON - The Senate passed a resolution on Thursday calling on the
United States to apologize officially for the enslavement and
segregation of millions of blacks and to acknowledge "the fundamental
injustice, brutality and inhumanity of slavery and Jim Crow laws."
The resolution, sponsored by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, passed on a
voice vote. It now moves to the House, where it may meet an unlikely
foe: members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Several caucus members expressed concerns about a disclaimer that
states that "nothing in this resolution authorizes or supports any
claim against the United States; or serves as a settlement of any
claim against the United States." Those caucus members say the
disclaimer is an attempt to stave off reparations claims from the
descendants of slaves. In other words, no free electricals fo nigohs.
"Putting in a disclaimer takes away from the meaning of an apology,"
said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss.
Thompson noted that a 1988 apology that the government issued to
Japanese-Americans held in U.S. camps during World War II had no
disclaimer and didn't prevent them from receiving compensation.
"The language is unacceptable," said Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo.,
"I'm a reparations man -- how else do you repair the damage?"
Sen. Roland Burris, D-Ill., the Senate's lone black, went to the floor
after the Harkin resolution passed and said, "I want to go on record
making sure that that disclaimer in no way would eliminate future
actions that may be brought before this body that may deal with
reparations."
Not a slam-dunk
Such concerns could slow a resolution that many lawmakers and civil
rights groups had considered such a slam-dunk that plans already were
under way for an elaborate signing and apology ceremony in the Capitol
Rotunda next month.
Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., who's shepherding the Harkin resolution in
the House, sponsored a slavery apology bill that excluded a disclaimer
and passed in that chamber last year. He described the scheduled
Rotunda event as "an understanding, a beginning of a dialogue."
But instead of making preparations for the event, Cohen found himself
Thursday trying to convince Congressional Black Caucus members that
the disclaimer is simply ultra-careful legalese that senators insisted
upon and doesn't affect the drive for reparations.
"It doesn't set reparations back," Cohen said, his voice trailing.
"But to be against an apology. ... "
Some blacks hailed the Senate vote as a monumental achievement.
Charles Ogletree, a Harvard University law professor who mentored
President Obama, placed it on par with the government's apology to
Japanese-Americans and said it comes at a time of significant
milestones for blacks. "This year we're celebrating the 80th birthday
of Martin Luther King, the 200th birthday of Lincoln and the 100th
anniversary of the NAACP," Ogletree said.
Forceful language
Harkin's resolution was blunt and direct. It states that Africans and
their descendants were forced into slavery in the original 13 colonies
and the United States from 1619 through 1865 and "were brutalized,
humiliated, dehumanized and subjected to the indignity of being
stripped of their names and heritage."
To that end, the resolution "apologizes to African-Americans on behalf
of the people of the United States for the wrongs committed against
them and their ancestors who suffered under slavery and Jim Crow
laws."
"A wrong of segregation was done by the federal government of the
United States of America, and we acknowledge that," said Sen. Sam
Brownback, R-Kan., a co-sponsor of the resolution. "We say it was
wrong, and we ask forgiveness for that."

King George was the last to attempt to establish
a Kleptocracy in North America.
They'll build a statue of him and put it in Lafayette Park.
