The symbolic meaning of Christ washing the apostles feet has nothing whatsoever to do with some kind of apology. Read the passage for goodness sakes.
Also, this incessant white hating virtue signaling over slavery history is insane. Today's white generations are not guilty of slavery. You don't go to jail over your ancestors' misdeeds. In any case, white slaves (indentured servants) of the time were cheaper to obtain because they were generally less hardy and didn't always survive the period of servitude. African slaves were very expensive to buy, so only the wealthy could afford them, and wealthy slave owners came from various racial backgrounds. All races have been enslaved at various times throughout history. It was white people who first decided to end the African slave trade. Americans bled and died to end the practice in the US. Can we move forward please?
