Glenn Beck: Congress' Slavery Apology is an "Affront to the Principles of Christianity"

On Tuesday, the House of Representatives formally apologized to African-Americans for slavery and racial bias in America. The resolution said:
"Africans forced into slavery were brutalized, humiliated, dehumanized, and subjected to the indignity of being stripped of their names and heritaged. African-Americans continue to suffer from the consequences of slavery and Jim Crow -- long after both systems were formally abolished -- through enormous damage and loss, both tangible and intangible, including the loss of human dignity and liberty, the frustration of careers and professional lives, and the long-term loss of income and opportunity."
Right-wing talk show host Glenn Beck spent much of his radio show's first hour ranting about this on Wednesday.

TWC, go sharpen your tomahawk and hush! And don't go throwing stones. You let them take your land and you and your tribes have'nt did schitt about it! So you should talk! And lynchings, is just as vile Tonto..........so keep it real and fair. No race is perfect. Drugs, rapes, murder and vile acts just does'nt fall under blacks only. So pick up some of those empty alcohol bottles off the ground on your reservation. And get your facts straight!

You should get tired of me kicking that tight arse of yours.........

I dont give a f*** about a apology because it means nothing

Why didnt you devils apologize to my ancestors who when through the hell it's a spit in the face to their memory to apologize after all this time. I can never forgive you filthy devils for what you done to my people and I dont know any other black person in their right mind who would either unless their one of those disgraceful house negro's who still obey their massa. You can not erase 99+ million deaths due to the slave trade not counting the ones who were hung, raped over hundreds on years with a weak azz apology. Any race of people who can burn people alive and chop their bodies up and sell them as souvernir's or cut open the wombs of women while their buring and stomping the baby to death dont have the right to ask for forgiveness.

I'm not surprised. He is Glenn Beck after all. What I truly hate about him is that he'll have an African American guest on his show and he'll try to be all cool with him and then he comes up with something like this. SMH...what a two-faced coward but then again what can I expect from White racist trash.

The only thing I don't like is the term "Africans". Again, congress did the same thing former president Bill Clinton did: appologized to Africans and Africa for slavery. This is not accurate because Africans were not enslaved, The American Negro women were enslaved, and we the children of those women were born into slavery. When will the American Negro woman be appologized to for the humiliation of slavery? When will the children of the American Negro woman be appologized to for slavery? To take if even further, when will we the so-called American Negro (those of us who are left) demand an appology for slavery? Until we take responsibility for ourselves, we will always be misrepresented, and misunderstood. Are we ready to learn?

I think Mick and the Stones said it best....

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm drivin' in my car
And a man comes on the radio
He's telling me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarrettes as me
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girlie action
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back later next week
'Cause you see I'm on losing streak
I can't get no, a no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction
Allrighty

And people who had nothing to do with the past are apologizing to people who use it as an excuse to why they don't succeed? It didn't happen to them, it happened to their ancestors. I don't want anyone apologizing for something I didn't do!

Redneck-

Similarly, some historians claim that the term redneck originated in 17th century Virginia, because fair-skinned unfree labourers were sunburnt while tending plantation crops.

Unfree Labourer-

Unfree labour is a generic or collective term for those work relations, especially in modern or early modern history, in which people are employed against their will by the threat of destitution, detention, violence (including death), or other extreme hardship to themselves, or to members of their families.

Ever hear the Holocaust? Ever pick up the Bible once in awhile? The Jews have been through more Hell than you could ever imagine even before there was an Africa.

Where did you get that 99 million number, did you pull it out of your butt? By the way, did you know that slavery is still practiced in Africa? Sudanese children are known as "carpet slaves". You can blame the Arabs on that. Do some research instead of knee jerking a unintelligible comment.

As for the "so called" apology, it seems that it was attempt to direct our attention elsewhere. The govenment would like us to forget the weakening dollar, the crummy economy, energy independence, etc etc.

your fore fathers were sold by your own people. you have really not suffered one bit from slavery.

maybe your family originated in eithopia or some other destitude and corrupt countries. you would have never been born.

we actually saved peoples familys from being wiped out of exsistance.

So let the freaking Germans apologise to the jews!
Your puke about slavery still going on in Africa shows that you need to do your researchm and stop listening to those morons called reporters. The "ongoing slave trade" (as you put it) in Africa is actually "child labor" similar to the Chinese child labor crap. You CANNOT compare that to the "American Sin", can you?
