WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Senate on Thursday passed a resolution
apologizing to African-Americans for the wrongs of slavery.
While this is a symbolic gesture, maybe it will be meaningful to some.
The real apology for slavery is equal opportunity regardless of race,
creed, sex or national origin. I think MLK Jr. said it best when he
said " I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in
a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but
by the content of their character. "

Race relations in the US is not perfect, but we have some a long way.

I wonder if Harry knows that there were Black slave owners also.


Gee, Bilious, what percentage of slave owners in the USA were black?
And why would you think I would want any different treatment for them?





Actually only 24% of NC owned slaves. How about reparations for my
family. My great grandfather walked with a limp from a Confederate bullet
wound. How many people alive now, were slaves in the South? How much has
it impacted them? My Great grandfather was Irish immigrant. Seemed like
they had some discrimination also.

Beat & simplest thing to do...the US govt should confiscate all property &
wealth from all it's citizens and then give every citizen an equal share of
the pot.
What happens after that would be soley based on the ambition,
resourcefulness or luck of each individual.
