As you might know, the Human Rights Commission has recently stated that it is not too late for whites to apologise for Apartheid.

We are sorry that our ancestors were intelligent, advanced and daring enough to explore the wild oceans to discover new countries and to concur and develop these.
> >
We are sorry that those who came before us took you out of the bush and taught you that there was more to life than beating drums and chasing animals with sticks and stones.
> >
We are sorry that they planed, funded and developed roads, towns, mines, factories, airports, all of which you now claim to be your long deprived inheritance so you have full right to change and rename these at your discretion.
> >
We are sorry that our parents taught us the value of small be strong families, to not breed like rabbits and end up as underfed,
illiterate shack dwellers living in poverty.
> >
We are sorry that when they provided you with schools, you decided it looked better without windows or in piles of ashes. We happily gave up those bad days of getting spanked in our all white schools for doing something wrong, and much prefer these days of freedom where problems can be resolved with knives and guns.
> >
We are sorry that it is hard to shake off the bitterness of the past when you keep on raping, torturing and killing our friends and family members, and then hide behind the fence of 'human rights' with smiles on your faces.
> >
We are sorry that we do not trust the government. We have no reason to be so suspicious and short sighted seeing that there has never
been a case where any of these poor hard working intellectuals were involved in any form of corruption or irregularities.
> >
We are sorry that we do not trust the police force and although they have openly admitted that they have lost the war against crime and criminals, we should not be so negative and just keep on hoping for the best.
> >
We are sorry that we basically flung open our border posts, and now left you competing for jobs against illegal immigrants from our beautiful neighboring countries. All these countries that have grown so strong after kicking out the 'settlers', you should follow their excellent example and grow big and strong like them!
> >
We are sorry that we don't believe in witchcraft, beetroot and garlic, urinating on street corners or trading woman for cattle, maybe we
just grew up differently.
> >
So sorry that when we are forced into sharing the same establishments, sometimes we loose our temper, that is totally uncalled for.
> >
We are sorry that your medical care, water supplies, roads, and your electrical supplies are going down the toilet because skilled people
who could have planned and resolved these issues had to be shown away because they were of the wrong ethnic background and now has to work in foreign countries where their skills are more needed.
> >
We are so sorry and should really try harder to be more tolerant and learn to get along with EVERYBODY around us, one big happy family.
