Biden Apologizes to African Leaders for America's ‘Original Sin'

[Free Beacon] President Joe Biden apologized for the "unimaginable cruelty" of America's "original sin" of slavery during a White House summit with African leaders this week, where at least one leader mocked America amid China's increasing influence in the continent.

"We remember the stolen men and women and children were brought to our shores in chains," Biden said Wednesday after promising the continent $55 billion to fight climate change and increase trade. "My nation’s original sin was that period."

Slavery is by not unique to America and has was practiced all over the globe throughout human history, including in Africa, where there are still an estimated 9.2 million people enslaved. The apology from Biden comes as Democrats appear increasingly open to the idea of paying reparations to the descendants of African slaves, though nobody has nailed down exactly how such a system would work. A California task force ordered by the state legislature to figure out a reparations rollout cannot agree on even simple details, such as how much money would need to be distributed and who would get it.

Reparations advocates have also set their sights on the United Kingdom, where slavery was abolished in 1833. CNN commentator Don Lemon recently pressed a British guest on the issue, and was told that Africa was the beginning of the slave supply chain.

#2 /\ Exactly correct! They will smile, take your USD, then piss in your Ukhamba (beer basket). If I were they, I would do likewise.

#4 Given that 'they' sold their fellow Africans to Europeans as slaves, it pretty ignorant to apologize to them.

Actually
Africa needs to 1st apologize to itself.

African tribes sold and still sell conquered tribes into slavery.

Open Slavery still exists in Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan. It also exists in many other areas due to lack of any real enforcement. So Africa needs to clean up its own act.

Or like the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Where the Hutu ethnic majority, murdered almost 1 million of the Tutsi minority.
All during Bill Clinton (D) admin. Which did pretty much did nothing to stop it. Having just hosed the Oct-1993 Somalia Peace Keeping mission to save Somalia, resulting in the deaths of many US service men.

So Paying reparations is just the LSD's looking to buy
the Black-American, 2024 votes and further divide the USA on color.

Remember also the DEMOCRATS were the Political Party that fought to keep slavery and continued to inflect Racial issues for another 100 years after the civil war.

#8 African tribes sold and still sell conquered tribes into slavery.

And Boko Haram, which is not tribal. Other African jihadi groups capture children, too, though mostly, it’s claimed, to train the boys as fighters and take the girls as wives.

#10 There are many different groups in America. There is a group that looks at Africa, Iraq, Ukraine or Haiti and sees a roast turkey to be carved and served to themselves, their family and their club members. They use out tax money through the State Dept to pay the ~~grocer~~ dictator often in cooperation with our enemies like Klaus Schwab and the CCP. They need to apologize to all of us. Biden is in that group.
