Whitewash: why no apology for slavery?

After watching the films Mandela, The Long Walk to Freedom and 12 Years a Slave, I’m glad that I’m an Irish Catholic. Our community has never had a secular empire.

White men are depicted in the above films doing profoundly evil things. Yet we have never heard an apology.

Apart from all that Nelson Mandela endured, his wife, Winnie Mandela, played by the beautiful London actress Naomie Harris. Among other harassment, she was put in solitary confinement, in prison, for 16 months to put pressure on her husband. That was sheer evil.
