Ryan Reynolds is the most recent star to release an apology for a questionable choice after anti-racism protests. He apologized for marrying Blake Lively at a former plantation that once held enslaved people

actress Florence Pugh took to Instagram to apologize for partaking in what she called cultural appropriation as a teenager—like wearing her hair in cornrows and wearing bindis and henna designs.

“I cannot dismiss the actions I bought into years ago, but I believe that we who were blind to such things must acknowledge them and , our ignorance and our white privilege,” she said in a statement. “I apologize profusely that it took this long.”in June for posting a photo of her posing topless to Instagram with a caption insisting on justice for Breonna Taylor, a black woman who was shot to death by police, saying it was a misguided attempt to raise awareness: “I understand that my caption came off as tone deaf,” Reinhart said on.

Comedian and late night host Jimmy Fallon issued a public apology in May over his previous use of blackface in 2000 to parody fellow comedian Chris Rock on an episode of

So a wedding in a chapel deserves an apologise cos of the way the church treated women and children? Same for weddings/afternoon lunches in former aristocratic houses where the feudal lords enslaved their tenants? Can we cop the hell on and let sense prevail?

No need for an apology, all the RACISM is sad!

You guys are forgiven.

Why should he apologize for marrying Blake Lively?

Ffs will people get a grip on themselves and grow a backbone.

Isn't it a case of 'making a mountain out of a molehill'? Did the plantation advertise about it's slave history or was he aware of it when he got married?

International activities of the Latin America states in combating drug trafficking in the XXI century:

Because the money you spent there didn't help the local economy and the currently LIVING people in the area...? Every thing has a history... the point is to not repeat the negative.

That's so dumb. White ppl ,stop apologizing for racism if you didn't commit hate crimes 🙄

Why?

For God sake, so now we punish areas for past uses? What nonsense. So stupid. Disappointing Ryan is such a coward.

I used to think this guy had his shit together. Turns out he’s as pissweak as the rest of them. Ryan, You had nothing to apologise for. Man up, make the point that you’re a good person who’s not a racist and you didn’t choose a plantation because you thought it would offend

Congratulations ! More than likely women pick the spots. Almost the whole south was a big fat plantation . What was once, it is history now or the government will start a condemnation process to make it up, turning all these land into parks or something else.

Get over yourself

Whoa, wait a minute, where are you standing right now? Are you sure some minority wasn’t abused on that spot in the last 200 years?

Gotta wonder if he's ever visited the former Nazi Germany, the former fascist Italy, the former Soviet Russia, the former... you know what, just apologize for breathing the same air that was once breathed by terrible people.

For goodness' sake, this is getting crazy. Just wow.

Ha! Here we go again....

Why did he travel to apologize for marrying his wife? And why did he apologize? Seems like there's more to the story.

Enough already. Hypocrisy

I'm sorry on behalf of all Brontosaurus that had to endure the Tyranny of Rex.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I am sorry as well for getting married on former native Indian lands....

Nothing more woke than apologizing for marrying a white woman.

You've got to be kidding. Things get nuttier every day. People grow some, and wake up. The wackodoodles are running amok. Law & Order Love & Peace TRUMP 2020 P.S. Leave history alone!

He should apologize for apologizing for something he didn't need to apologize for.

WTF? Hollywood ‘almost forgotten’ stars are so desperate for Cyber Media’s attention, that do stupid things like this fake apology for nothing. Ryan almost missed the BLM wagon!

Why apologize?

Tan bello, pero tan bobo 🙄

They don’t have to apologize for shit. Only doing so to retain work in Hollywood.

I went through a phase of bewilderment at the pandering to the woke generation, but now it’s gotten so ridiculous I can’t help but laugh every time. It’s going to get to the point when the first thing people say when meeting for the first time is “I’m sorry”...just in case. 😆

That’s real. I respect that

This is dumb.

Now the cancel culture wants to tell you places you can and can’t marry in the US🤡🤡

OK, IM a white guy aka Honky, Cracker...Im also Italian and when all this shit went down my people were in Italy... The same to be said for most white people, So why is this our problem...Go after the Democrats

That's dumb

Really anyone who got married within the borders of any confederate/slave state should apologize for doing so. That's how this works, right? And the U.S. Constitution allowed slavery too, so anyone who got married anywhere in the U.S. should apologize if you think about it. 🤔

Really VancityReynolds ? You want to apologize now for getting married on a plantation? Ok when are you sending Native Americans their reparations for living on their land? You going 'woke' is a huge disappoint.

Ridiculous!

I’m unfollowing these Forbes buffoons rn

Nonsense, dont bow

As a white man, you need to apologize for everything now. Get ready.

This is not news. This is stupid. Questionable choice Was that part of the decision? Bet not. Woke? Your dreaming if you think this is in anyway relevant to anything ever. Morons

So brave

It is insane that he apologizes for being 'blind to such things'.. Dude, you didn't even.. anyways.

Really? Now you have to apologise for the people that used to live in a building that you're in 200 years later?

This is such a desperate play for attention. Nobody knows or cares where these two married 8 years ago. They just want to apologize for something because it’s all the rage.

YET ANDERSON COOPER LIVES OF A INHERITANCE FROM A SLAVE OWNER. RYAN IS A JERK HIS MOVIES GO NOWHERE HE IS JUST TRYING TO GET FAN SUPPORT.

Did he apologize for living in a land once owned by native Americans? How far back into history is he required to go. For example did any of his ancestors own slaves?

Woke-ass stooopidity

Bro imagine thinking we shouldnt do things at places where bad things happened historically. Thats some floor is lava level stuff, so dumb.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! WHITE PEOPLE APOLOGIZING FOR THE WEDDING VENUES THEY SELECTED!!! That's classic!

So everybody marrying on American soil should apologize too? The American-Indians owned this land that was taken away from them. I'll be the first - I apologize.

Come on... Seriously? Too much. It is their wedding. I'm willing to bet they were not looking to piss off cancel culture. Its a wedding. Happy time.

His mistake was apologizing
