You can acknowledge the past but an apology for something others did seems pointless.
I’d like to apologize for all the horrible wrongs that yesthatjallen has committed in this forum. There is no justification for his reprehensible acts.
Sounds almost like a “I didn’t do it so it’s easy for me to condemn others”
They should apologize for Jim Crow but some of those people are still alive.
It IS pointless... and it takes absolutely no effort.
