They've apologized to the Japanese-Americans, the Hawaiians, it's only fair to apologize for taking blacks from their homeland, stripping them of their culture, language, forcing them to work and breed, and then denying black Americans the right to vote in the country of their birth. I think somebody deserves an apology.

Are we going to have National Negro Apology day? That day, every white person has to go up to at least one Negro and apologize?

“you, I'm sorry Negro. I'm sorry, blood. I'm sorry you can't take care of yourself and are still upset over injustices committed 150 years ago. I'm sorry your current state of your current race is so pitiful, you can't even dig yourselves out of the toilet with the help of affirmative action and other handouts. Here's to celebrating your sorriness.”

I agree with reparations. I think they should do it. Lord knows, we need to have more rap music recording companies launched, as well as help the automotive chrome rim industry.

[...] As Jill Tubman says: Is it empty symbolism, you may ask? I don’t discount symbols which are powerful, especially when it comes to race in America. It’s good to see positive symbolism rather than negative symbolism come our way for once. And it instills confidence in our leaders when they can admit poor judgment and commit to better choices. Still, when the gov’t acknowledges oppressive, incorrect action — isn’t corrective, remedying action a reasonable expectation? [...]

more empty mumbo-jumbo from the powers that be. how does this “apology” move us forward as a people/as a country? it doesn't. there is nothing concrete to be gained here. have things gotten so bad – so hopeless – for us as a “colored” people that we'd except this empty politically expedient monologue as something positive? as far as i'm concerened this story doesn't warrant any addualtion from us. we really shouldn't give it much serious attention at all. let's please keep our eye on the ball folks. let's stay focused on trying to figure out real concrete things that we can do ourselves – in our back yards, in our communites – to begin to address the myriad issues that we face. an apology for slavery ain't gonna do it. barack ain't (can't) do it. the act of voting alone ain't gonna do nuthin'. we have to figure new and creative ways to fix the various messes that we are in. find your own human agency folks – believe in yoursleves. stop looking for leaders, messiahs, good white-folks – to get us out of this mess. yes, they may all play a part – but ultimately – it's up to YOU – WE – US.

Might I suggest a book – “I've got the light of Freedom” In short – it's about the organizing tradition of the south and how ordinary people came togehter to accomplish extra-ordinary things.

I concur entirely. It sets a historical record of “The Man” admitting he was wrong and that slavery and Jim Crow had long-lasting consequences for Black people that exist even today. Even if people think it is nothing without reparations, isn't the chance of getting reparations better now that they actually admitted the wrong-doing? If they had not applogized then the chance of reparations would be nil. This has to go into the history books.

Any time someone tries to justify slavery by saying it was for economic purposes, its in the Bible, everyone did it, Black people had slaves and sold their own, it had nothing to do with racism etc. you just have to say, “If it wasn't wrong then why did they appologize?” They did it because it was cruel, inhumane, and barbaric. Yeah there was slavery in other places and even Africa, but the Trans-Atlantic and racist slave trade was a million times worse. They made people slaves for life, they made their children slaves, they made slavery dependent on the mother so that White male slave owners did not have to free their children or leave money to them, they worked people to death, they stole their names, history and culture. It was just WORSE and people need to stop trying to justify it! All slavery is not the same just like all punishments and executions are not the same. Some ore more brutal than others and Congress has now admitted it.

Also, I don't want reparations. Reparations is a mind game – and we won't win it. We need to stop focusing on it.
