Apologies don’t put food on the table
Responding to , Ife Kilimanjaro says actions speak louder than words when it comes to defining the future.
Apologies do not put food on the table. They do not end systematic exploitation, plunder, murder and rape. They don't shift fundamental socio-economic and political relationships that are reproduced with each class, race, generation, gender, culture and ethnicity.
Apologies give the impression that progress has been made when it hasn't. An apology doesn't mean anything. It doesn't go anywhere.
Actions do, however. So how about having concern about our own actions, correcting our historical and current mistakes, and defining our own futures without regard to meaningless words?
