I am so glad that our legislative bodies and our elected officials have the time, and feel obligated to apologize for events that they had absolutely nothing to do with.

I agree with you. Is this what they were elected for? Is there no more pressing business they need to take care of?
Nice waste of taxpayer dollars.

Slavery became definately a depressing era in American background. even with the incontrovertible fact that, there is not any longer a single soul left in this usa that ever dealt in my view with slavery. no longer one. The state legislatures of the states of Virginia and North Carolina made this gesture for one reason and one reason only: Politics and loose votes. it continuously makes liberals sense good to make hollow gestures. look at Barbra Streisand. Tells the international to safeguard ability, yet flies around in a jet which will devour extra gas in a single hour than i will in my SUV in a year. that's all political showmanship and ability no longer something.

the states are apologizing to you, me and every american that was affected by the states participation in illegal activity. So if you accept it then accept it, if not why would a simple apology make you angy? of course there are larger things in the country that need taken care of, but its just an apology get over it.

Acknowledging wrongdoings of the past helps to define our present and encourage a better future.
There is unfortunately racial tension.
Creating a peaceful dialog helps strengthen the bonds of the community and fosters trust.

Wait - have we apologized to the Indians?
All of my children are part Indian, does that mean they get monies for their ancestors being forced away?
Coooool.
(note- I am being sarcastic....)
