No I don't think so. I think the majority of white people are genuinely sorry that their forebears carried on the slave trade. Also it was only a minority of the white people who were directly involved although there might have been some economic advantages to the population as a whole, but they would have been powerless to alter things at that time.You say that black people will resort to rioting to get what they want. What are they actually asking for?I am not American by the way. The second part of your question I really don't understand.Who are white people supposed to be appeasing, and to which thugs are they they giving in to? From the tone of your query I would say that you are a white person who objects to any apology being made to black people as you feel that the apologies have been made out of fear and not genuine remorse.I am sorry, I don't share your sentiments.

Why do you call yourself 'hindustani'? It seems as though you are here to make the real Hindus look bad.
You are not a Hindu. In a topic called 'Would you say Britain has culture?' you said 'drinking beer, eating pork, sleeping with friends' wives, getting a pot belly, shouting and swering at football matches, disliking non whites etc'.
You have a problem with Brits eating pork. You seem to have forgotten that a real Hindu doesn't eat meat at all, so why did you have to mention pork in particular?
I respect Muslims, but not ignorance.

Lets get a bit of realism
A. How many of our ancestors owned slaves?
B One of the biggest owners of slaves was the church
C What about the African tribes who raided their neighbours & sold them to the Arabs who in turn sold them to European slavers
D What about all the wars in ancient times when the losers were taken as slaves?
PERSONALLY I feel no responsability about this anymore than a German to-day can be held responsable for what the Nazis did

Yeah, you're right...it takes a really strong person to cross there arms and stomp their feet and whine that they "just don't wanna!"
Stop being such a whiner and admit that it was about the most wrong thing the human race has ever done!
Let me guess...you think that what Hitler did was all a made up bedtime story that your retarded white trash mommies and daddies told you to make you sleep better at night?
Grow up and learn the difference between right and wrong!

I don't accept your premise that blacks will riot if 'the west' doesnt apologise for slavery.
therefore I don't accept your premise that it is giving in to thuggery. and your generalised ad hom about appeasing and spinelessness is a complete non-sequiter
in short; a foolish, biased question

Dont be so ignorant! Pick up a book and feed your mind instead of boring us with your rants about slavery. It seems like you have some serious issues that need addressing. Why would we riot for people apologising?? Jesh read and think about your questions before posting them.

I haven't seen any riots because we haven't apologised enough so far, have you? It's been a long time now. I'd guess they've got better things to think about, which you clearly don't.

Wow. Did you think that up all by yourself? Is there a KKK meeting here somewhere? It must be the white pointy hat you're wearing that's making it a bit hard to think.

1st blacks will not riot ,thanks to slavery's effect on the total psyche of black people ,and current ways of dealing with blacks. 2nd it's not an apology,just words spun to appear like one.most white people today remove themselves from the responsibility through heritage. 3rd the slavery issue is a sidetrack that black minds can't see for JIMCROW.yes white people living now and still in certain regions of the u.s. are responsible for black conditions and poor treatment ,disenfranchaisement and rascism, you can't possibly believe bush and others who say that was another time. in gen it's a farce. smokescreen people are being bamboozled.
