In reply to the discussion: Joe Biden Declines to Directly Apologize to Anita Hill for His Handling of 1991 Hearing. [View all]Indygram
(2,113 posts)What bothers me is that he chose to reach out and offer an apology and rather than do it properly he gave a non-apology. What some people don't seem to understand is that a non-apology serves one purpose and one purpose only...to make the apologizer feel better. It seeks to ease the guilt of the person who is apologizing and avoid making amends to the person being apologized to. I've been on the receiving end of non apologies and I can assure you that receiving one of those is FAR WORSE than getting no apology at all because it makes you feel minimized, disregarded and victimized all over again. She didn't seek him out asking for an apology. He sought her out. For him to stir this all up and impact her all over again he damn well needs to get it right. If he doesn't, then he's just not the man I always imagined him to be.
