Ahhhh, good analogy. This from an article in the Charlottesville Daily Progress on the debate in the Virginia House of Delegates over an apology for slavery …
Some delegates believe an apology is unnecessary and a sign of too much political correctness.
âThe present commonwealth has nothing to do with slavery,â said Del. Frank D. Hargrove, R-Glen Allen, whose ancestors were French Huguenots who came to America in search of religious freedom.
How far do these calls for apologies go, wondered Hargrove, a member of the House Rules Committee that could take up McEachinâs resolution as early as Wednesday.
âAre we going to force the Jews to apologize for killing Christ?â Hargrove wondered. âNobody living today had anything to do with it. It would be far more appropriate in my view to apologize to the Upper Mattaponi and the Pamunkeyâ Indians for the loss of their lands in eastern Virginia, he said.
Maybe Dinesh D’Souza has something to say about this.
