I feel your pain and understand it. Also, White politicians are not concerned about African American's pain and suffering here in the United States. And if they are it's not genuine. There must be something in it for them for it to even be a discussion.
As for an apology for slavery and genocide don't hold your breath. As for reparations, don't hold your breath. To aplogize for something means you admit to wrong and most Whites don't feel like they have done anything wrong. And if they admit to wrong then they would HAVE to pay reparations and whites are NOT going to give their money away that easily. This is the life we are in.

And to add on, I just feel the era of "white guilt," if there ever was one, is long over. People don't give two s***s.
We don't have the moral pull we once held in the 1960s, IMO.
