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.

This Newsgroup post is a natural product. The slight variations in
spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no
way are to be considered flaws or defects


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?

Please note that Interstate 90 will be closed this weekend across
South Dakota. This closure will allow the Federal Government free
access to haul a 200 ton piece of coal to Mt. Rushmore so that
President Obama can be added to the Presidents on the monument.
