Conservative Group Walks Back From That Whole "Black Marriage Better During Slavery" Comment - The Snob Blog - Danielle Belton's The Black Snob

Remember the group that brought up the idea that children were better under slavery than now? Well they actually apologized....sort of.

From Politico:
“After careful deliberation and wise insight and input from valued colleagues we deeply respect, we agree that the statement referencing children born into slavery can be misconstrued, and such misconstruction can detract from the core message of the Marriage Vow: that ALL of us must work to strengthen and support families and marriages between one woman and one man," the group's officials said in a statement. "We sincerely apologize for any negative feelings this has caused, and have removed the language from the vow.”
Daniel Belton is insighthl in her article. Take a look at the following link.
