Wow, nice to know these states are making the apology to slavery ‘official.’ Firstly, why is there an official vote for an apology? And second, I wonder what the percentage of apologetic people is in those states. It shouldn’t just be about the southern states though, this whole country is to blame for slavery. Perhaps we can make that ‘official’ too. Now that we took care of centuries-old issues, let’s deal with the ones we have now. Such as not taking care of people laid-off in towns that survived previously because of one company (think GM, Ford, Chevy, etc), who up and left the town to rot. That might be a nice jesture.
