Senate passes resolution apologizing for slavery
Senate passes resolution apologizing for slavery
Posted 9m ago |
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has unanimously passed a resolution apologizing for slavery and racial segregation and sent the measure to the House.
Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin first introduced the measure years ago but wanted it passed Thursday on the eve of Juneteenth — a day of celebration commemorating the end of the Civil War and the release of African Americans from slavery. He said the House is to take it up soon and that a formal celebration will be held next month in the Capitol Rotunda.
The Senate has passed such nonbinding but highly symbolic resolutions before, apologizing for such things as the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.
The resolution passed Thursday includes a disclaimer saying that nothing in it supports or authorizes reparations by the United States.

The White people in our country never owned slaves.
Now when can the White people in America expect their apology from the government for making White people pay the majority of taxes while keeping Whites out of government jobs, and favoring minorities, over White people, at every turn?
Also would love to know when Obama will apologize to the American people for pretending to be a legal candidate for President? And for selling our country out.
And I wonder when our government will apologize to the American people of all races for allowing illegals to invade us and take away our Constitution.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Does this enclude the Scottish Highlanders who were shipped over here as slaves too?

Honestly, I think this has already be done, several times over. Kinda looses significance when it's repeated over and over again.
