Sorry State

Sorry, but there is no virtue in apologizing for an historic crime like slavery. And such public acts of abeisance undermine genuine morality by replacing remorse with the right thing to be seen doing. “False Apology Syndrome is a rich but poisonous mixture of self-importance, libertinism, condescension, bad faith, loose thinking, and indifference to the effects it has on those who are apologized to,” argues Theodore Dalrymple.
