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. -- Reginald P. Smithers III, Esq. 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? 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. |
