Colored People Coalition

A few weeks ago I clowned the NAACP. I clowned them, not only for calling themselves "Colored People", (like they couldnt have found a better name) but for begging for an apology from the state Georgia for its participation in slavery. I said "Dont they have anything else better to do than to beg somebody for a public apology for something they are probably secretly proud of? Why dont they take on a more serious issue, like fighting the mentalities that cause black people to live up to the negative stereotypes that are placed on blacks? What good would an insincere apology do?" But sadly I was wrong. They need to keep working on silly stuff like this because we really aint come that far as a nation. Explain to me why a bill to have a Confederate History Month "sailed through a Senate committee ...without any opposition." Now here's a quote from the AJC about the apology that NAACP asked for: "I take the same approach to this that I have to all [requests for] apologies. I am not certain government ought to be apologizing," House Speaker Glenn Richardson (R-Hiram) said. "Nobody here was in office" So let me get this straight... They dont think its important to apologize for it, but its ok to celebrate the people who facilitated the behavior?!? This, in my opinion, would set us back as a nation hundreds of years if it were to come to pass. They may as well start another campaign for a national holiday celebrating the institution of slavery. After all, the country did grow substantially off of their free labor.....
