Re: Virginia apologizes for slavery... why?
Virginia didn't apologize for slavery, it expressed "profound regret". The exact wording of the resolution was a big issue, with many taking the position that those alive today had nothing to apologize for (one delegate said it would be like asking the Jews to apologize for killing Jesus). Also, it's ridiculous to think there would be no black people, as there would still have been immigration. There was never Asian slavery, yet Asian people have found their way over to the U.S..
