Oh sure this is going to be reconciliatory.White marchers will wear chains on their hands and yokes on their necks while being escorted by black people, and everyone will wear T-shirts with a message of apology as a group of African and European Christians visits the United States this fall with a message of reconciliation.
The Lifeline Expedition will visit 10 U.S. cities, starting in Annapolis. The group's organizers say it is an effort to bring "reconciliation" and "healing" in Africa, Europe and North America through symbols of penitence.
"I believe that it helps, or potentially it helps, white people to think in a different way," said David Pott, who started the London-based organization to "reverse the damage" of the slave trade. It has held similar demonstrations in European cities linked to the 18th and 19th-century industry.
"We're not divisive in saying, 'Here's black, here's white,'" he said. "We're saying, 'We are brothers and sisters in our common humanity.'"
If these attention gathering idiots really wanted to be productive, they would be taking action against the slavery happening now, like in Sudan.
