I Am Sorry!



More than 200 years after the fact, the state House of Representatives voted Thursday to formally apologize for slavery in Connecticut.

I support this apology. I have felt tremendous guilt for slavery 200 years ago. And the Connecticut Representatives formal apology was a profile in courage to inspire us all!

However, the apology did not go far enough. In my video I also formally apologize for:

- Alexander the Great's invasion of Persia
- Rome’s invasion of what is now Spain and France
- The Norman invasion of 1066

Please accept my sincere apologies for these actions. I am SO sorry.

    You sarcastically said what I've been thinking for sometime now. I'm sorry for all of those blacks that were owned by whites. But these days it is so UNCOOL to be a white male. I'm 33 yrs. old. But with my values, I feel like I should be 65 or 70.

Violence In Chicago

President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox
