It seems that you’re not aware that America DID stop slavery. Why don’t you give the country credit?

Can I now get an apology from you for the hubris displayed here? But we don’t play by the same rules, do we? You have special rights.

Well, aren’t you special.

Several white legislators have offered the standard "<i>I didn't own any slaves, so I'm not sure what I should apologize for</i>" remarks. But a few weeks ago, a news story came out that the State of Georgia actually bought slave labor for various State projects. So now the legislature is in a unique position to apologize, not on behalf of individuals, but as a governmental body. <br/><br/>On the one hand, I have never appreciated a forced apology. At the same time, I resent the way American society has moved on as if slavery and Jim Crow were simply things that occured in a vacuum. What makes things worse, the same people who constantly demand that we "get over it", have no problem celebrating Confederate Memorial Day and other such traditions.<br/><br/>Still, if we're owed a formal apology--which we are--then so be it. But I'd rather see and appreciate substantive acts like college set-asides or private school subsidies. Here in Georgia, the legislature is still quibbling about the apology/profound regret issue.

On the one hand, I have never appreciated a forced apology. At the same time, I resent the way American society has moved on as if slavery and Jim Crow were simply things that occured in a vacuum. What makes things worse, the same people who constantly demand that we “get over it”, have no problem celebrating Confederate Memorial Day and other such traditions.

Still, if we’re owed a formal apology–which we are–then so be it. But I’d rather see and appreciate substantive acts like college set-asides or private school subsidies.
