Current Events > Serious questions: why are entities apologizing for past racism when

(+) Yeah! (+)

When literally 95% of people do not accept the apology?

I ask because the LA Times recently did this:

And if you look through a few replies, youll see people rejecting the apology, some telling LA Times to cease to exist, other demanding reparations for adult descendants of slaves, people looking for actionable steps with a timeline, etc.

I just dont understand how, in this political climate, spending time on this is better than... not doing it at all? It seems that a company or organization that stays silent will evade criticism than one that does acknowledge it. Hope this makes sense.
