Breitbart: Prior to announcing her candidacy for the Democrat nomination for president, spiritual author Marianne Williamson asked white people at an event to apologize to the black people in attendance for the “evils” perpetrated against black people throughout United States history.
Williamson, whose “prayer” came during her “Love America Tour” at the Unity of Houston Church in 2018, asked the white people to hold hands with nearby black attendees.
As the audience repeated her every word, sentence by sentence, Williamson said:
As I speak, I am going to ask the white Americans in the room to please repeat after me. On behalf of myself and on behalf of my country, to you and all African Americans, from the beginning of our nation’s history, in honor of your ancestors and on behalf of your children please hear this from my heart. I apologize. Please forgive us. With this prayer I acknowledge the depth of the evils that have been perpetrated against black people in America. From slavery to lynchings to white supremacist laws to the denial of voting rights to all the ways, both large and small, all of the evil, all of them wrong, for all the opression, and all of the injustices, I apologize. Please forgive us.”
“With nearly 200 black people in the audience on their feet, Williamson apologized for slavery, lynching, murders, rapes of black women, destruction of the black family, mass incarceration of black men, being called the N-word and systemic and institutionalized racism and more,” according to the Houston Chronicle‘s Joy Sewing.
Williamson also made similar comments during her Love America Tour in 2016, according to a video uploaded to her YouTube account. more here
Had no idea that this Democrat candidate was personally responsible for slavery, lynching, murders, rapes of black women, destruction of the black family, mass incarceration of black men, being called the N-word and systemic and institutionalized racism and more. Interesting.
As a mammal, I apologize to dinosaurs.
Same as when you have a spouse who was a spendthrift gold digger or gambling bum. Post public notice as follows:
“I will not be responsible for debts incurred by anyone other than myself.”
Stuff it along with your trained racist monkey, Oprah.
…Republicans did NOT own slaves.
….Republicans fought AGAINST slavery.
…your issue is with Democrats.
…and they can apologize to the REST of us, while they’re at it, for enslaving us to the State NOW.
…and, you may want to discuss the matter with Jamaican and African Black people as well, as they had NO problem supporting and supplying the slave trade, even capturing Blacks from OTHER tribes and selling THEM to Whitey, and indeed there is a lively African slave market for Black slaves TODAY, why don’t you go over THERE and demand an apology, but please record it so the REST of us can enjoy it…

I’ll apologize for some Elvis from the past. Some of his movies were real stinkers.
Another rejection of reality. If I don’t apologize for doing something I’ve never done by submitting to some ridiculous chant, that alone makes me a racist. I must then apologize for being a current racist. However if I do, or don’t, apologize for being a current racist the lynch mob will swarm and doxx me to the point where I would have been better off being an actual real unapologetic racist-racist. It’s a catch-22. We’re all better off simply not paying attention to these halfwits who spend all their time trying to lower everyone to the least common denominator in the onion of racism they have created.
If we believe the dubious claim that all human life sprang from Africa, then the blacks, who would be the descendants of the Egyptians, must apologize for their enslavement of the ancient Israelites, the Jews. I’m waiting…
I remember Oprah (and her recluse sister)when they were local reporters in Nashville. She’s gotten way to big for her already Lane Bryant sized britches.
I don’t apologize for things I have not done, and I have no authority to apologize for others for the things they have done.
FWIW, I studied “A course in Miracles” once, all volumes, tried to practice it and, over the course of time since, I have found it to be a very deceptive and misleading philosophy and belief system that cleverly guides its adherents away from truth.
Matthew 24:4 “And Jesus answered and said unto them, “Take heed that no man deceive you.” ”
Those who have been deceived by it need our prayer, not our condemnation, that they will understand their deception.
Once, when a body was fished out of the Cumberland river, shot and hands tied behind back, Oprah reported that ‘police suspect foul play’. You don’t say.
…you know, Somalia had, and still has, a lively slave trade that White people never had anything to do with because it’s on the East side of Africa, and there was no reason to make that dangerous trip.
Perhaps Marianne Williamson should seek an apology from THEM.
…and to make it EASY for her, Ilhan Omar recently identified Somalia as “her” country. Go seek an apology from HER.
…she’s NOT hard to find. Go over to the House side of the Capitol, turn left to where the treason is THICKEST, and you can find her already surrounded by the cameras of a sycophantic media.
Which should make getting that apology on record EASY.
…go on, we’re waiting, that virtue ain’t gonna signal ITSELF…

On behalf of white Christians I am sorry for:
electricity, refrigeration, the automobile, air & space travel, penicillin, nuclear medicine, the cell phone, computers, Magna Carta, water purification, modern agriculture, gps navigation, Einstein relativity, & Starbucks and the New England Patriots.
Sorry.
Some caucasians came from Iceland. Explain the logic.
@Walpurgis: You are not to blame. It’s the asteroid that wiped the dinosaurs out that should be paying reparations to them.
Oh, wait —
My great grandfather (father’s side) fought as a Union soldier to FREE SLAVES. My grandfather (his son) befriended a freed slave and hired him during harvest and slaughtering activities. That man taught my father how to slaughter hogs and steers.
My great grandparents (mother’s side) came from Italy around 1900.
I don’t owe anybody anything.
Over 360,000 northerners killed and the south’s economy decimated in the effort to end slavery. Apologies and retribution have been made.
…would she like to get an apology for my Irish ancestors while she’s at it? They were treated horribly too, and never DID own any Blacks, couldn’t afford ’em if they WANTED to and it was over by the time THEY got here ANYWAY, so let’s line some Democrats up to apologize to THEM while we’re at it, Marianne Williamson…
Did she ask blacks to apologize to whites for the rampant black criminality where they commit the vast majority of violent crime, despite being only 13% of the population. Not 150 years ago, but today.
Wow…that’s like…*so* groovy, dude!
Political stuntsmanship. If they really thought they had a legitimate claim for reparations, it would have been taken to court. Their problem is they know they don’t have a case. But it would sure be interesting to hear their argument and who they would name as defendants.
I have ancestors and relatives who were vocal abolitionists, conductors on the Underground Railroad, and Union soldiers. I don’t gotta apologize for nuttin.
I went through her quotes and it’s just a bunch of ‘daily affirmation’ garbage. They boil down to, LET YOUR SMILES BE UMBRELLAS! And reconstituted cliches. She so worn-out.
I had a 5th grade male teacher who she reminds me of. Every thing was feelings and writing about them. He was some guy from NJ or where ever who reminded me of Horshack from welcome back kotter. Then it was all explained when he introduced his girlfriend. New Age dipshit who only wore black. Had giant crystals or beads around her neck that looked like wind chimes. LOL
They were infuriatingly hiptarded.
If it would make them quit their bitchin’ I’d say, yes, by all means apologize. But instead it will embolden them with more demands, so to hell with them.
I’ll apologize for past evils when they apologize for present evils.
Deal?
Otherwise – Fuck Off, Eat Shit, and Die.
izlamo delenda est …
first off, she did this in a church, and made no mention of true forgiveness and redemption.
She is a seller of guilt, and profiting thereby.
thanks, but no thanx hun. We think and believe differently over here. How about we celebrate that diversity?
Our Research and Development Department is currently investigating whether the purported ‘climate change’ isn’t really being caused by mis-directed and incorrectly performed spells by witches against President Trump.
I’ll take the cornfield. 🙄
White people need to apologize to all of the Muslims they slaughtered in the last 20 years. They need to apologize to all the Vietnamese families they slaughtered in the 1960’s. And they need to apologize to all the Japanese they slaughtered in world war 2. White people have a lot to answer for.
Demanding reparations is just another form of aggressive pan-handling.
Larry, Larry, Larry … why should white people (or any other people, for that matter) apologize for that of which they should take pride?
You left out the Germans, Italians, Turks, &c. – so I have to assume racism.
Shame on you!
izlamo delenda est …
I’m gonna pass.
I wonder if her “former” ties to Satanism will ever be made public?
Sadly, not likely.
Have blacks apologized for the rampant murders, assaults, rapes, etc disproportionatley committed by them as a group?
Didnt think so.
Williamson is an idiot.
…kind of a side note, but this right HERE proves that no GUY could ever be a woman, no matter the hormones or the surgery.
…guys can be crazy, and “trans” guys really ARE insane, but it’s a DIFFERENT kind of nuts than WOMEN have (no pun intended).
…this broad is just dingy. She’s a type of goofy that just isn’t in the mental makeup of ANY man, however he may dress, act, drug, or mutilate. Its a Celine Dion kind of astral project-y froot loop journey that men are simply NOT capable of, no matter HOW off their rocker they get. It’s a gentler, reasonable-sounding crazy that you mostly get by listening, and since men don’t listen to women when they natter like this, she gets routed to “sure, hon, whatever you say” territory very quickly in men’s minds, that place where wives get what they want just in the faint male hope that she’ll go away once appeased.
Men can be worse than Neville Chamberlain when it comes to bartering for a moment of distaff silence…
And THAT, friends and neighbors, can be MORE dangerous than an ARMY of AOCs with the male electorate. It was probably the “ex-wife” vibe Hillary put off that put President Trump over the top.
A “CURRENT wife” vibe may just have the OPPOSITE effect, just sayin’…
…but this is BEYOND the capabilities, crazed or not, of ANY man. It’s just in the wiring.
Maybe show this to a trans and tell them they can’t get cut until they can do this like HER.
…you’ll never have a penis to dispose of again…
Gee, I wish the black ghetto thug who lives in Shelia Jackson Lee’s district would apologize and give the money and phone back to my son he robbed from him at gunpoint.
I’d roofie dat!
If the blacks weren’t afraid of a Klan of honkies before, they have reason to be now.
I can barely tolerate a single white lib, much less an entire room full of them.
I just want to know, did they drink the Kool-Aid? Good times!
If Marianne was less than average on the attractive scale no one would pay any attention to the crazy coming out of her pie hole.
She is the best example of why some people should not be eligible to vote.
Also I recall Slick willie already apologized for all slavery back in the 1990s.
Wasn’t that the end of the entire controversy?
Just when you think it can’t get any crazier it goes 100 times crazier..
@ Sylvia
This afternoon at lunch, Lucifer said, “I’d hit that…again.”
Insisting only white people apologizing for slavery is nonsense. Slavery is not a racial issue. Just another attempt by the left to control and fleece U.S. taxpayers. Also, to create an incentive for black Americans to vote for leftist policies.
Therefore, Williamson’s “prayer” reflexes what’s to be expected from a Democrat politician – constant deception.
Williamson and Oprah are dangerous grifters.
