It doesn't because it is not intended to. This statement is intended to engender an unabashed pride in what our culture has accomplished, nothing more, nothing less. Full disclosure, Sam not a Proud Boy, just not a fucking moron.
Their pledge isn't intended to make the ignorant "understand" it's a "fuck you, I will not feel guilty", and rightfully so. The debt has already been paid.
By your logic, no culture, country, race should be proud of anything then, right? All have done things we would judge as evil, certainly so when observed using the lens of our current moral ethos. All have committed unjust wars, participated in slavery, etc. However, not all have created and perpetuated democratic government, lifted people from poverty, and on balance been a tremendous source of good. If you can't see this, then you just don't want to. Good night and fuck off.

Western society abolished slavery, I think that's all that needs to be said about that.
So there's nothing to apologize for ?
