Hopefully the apology starts a conversation.

"Hey Mayor, how fricking stupid are you NOT to apologize for other shite that happened 150 yrs ago? You're not being inclusive."

Will she apologize for stealing taxpayer money through credit card fraud and then apologize for the sewage and water board? I would guess not. But the 1891 crime that was over a hundred and twenty years ago that's a good thing to apologize for right?

Link isn't working for me. I remember my dad telling me about this lynching years ago.

Also, she should be very very careful about apologizing for things that happened to Italians. She may open up the terrifying secret that it's not only black people that were oppressed in America. A secret that Democrats try to keep hidden very very very hard.

I'm Italian and this makes me feel soooo much better. My family and I can finally move on.

Not saying the deed was right or not, but how the hell is something that happened 130 years ago the mayor’s fault?

I'm also Italian. My great grandparents moved on long ago and did great for themselves. Sure, they were not allowed to join the country club in the 50s, but golf sucks anyway.

It was basically everyone not British, French, or German. And even the Germans caught shite somewhat

Interesting quote from the link.

I'm Italian and I think this is stupid. I think 128 years is enough time to get over it.

As an Italian American, I don’t give a frick, just like I think it’s stupid to apologize and offer reparations for something some other white people did 100 years ago
Posted on 4/1/19 at 8:24 am to cbdman
Italians must be entitled to REPARATIONS!
Posted on 4/1/19 at 8:25 am to Bob Sacamano
I’m not gonna lie, I initially read this post as happening in 1981 not 1891. Why does Cantrell feel the need to apologize for this? It’s not like it’s a 100, 115, or even 150 year anniversary. This seems really random. Is this the source of some deep seated mistrust Italians have with new orlenians or something?
Posted on 4/1/19 at 8:27 am to TigerB8
Yea, where can I get my Reparations ???
Posted on 4/1/19 at 8:30 am to cbdman
Where's the reparations dammit?
