Its Never Too Late to Apologize: Through the Words of Titus

Danny's most recent post got me thinking about reperations, and I wondered, is it too late to apologize for attrocities like slavery? I was immediately reminded of standup comic Chris Titus' 5th Annual End of the World Tour. In this standup special, he discusses and puts a lighter side on reperations and "whitey's" need to apologize. This segment can be found here. You should take the 8 minutes to watch it, its pretty funny, while being related to class. In it, he describes how some leaders of the African American community are less concerned about being repaid, and would rather someone stand up and make a formal apology. And of courseTitus abides. He makes a good point, the first step to healing is apology. And while the end of the clip may seem a little goofy, when he makes everyone say "I'm whitey and I apologize", he's trying to make that first small step towards healing the wounds made so long ago.
