Re: Virginia apologizes for slavery... why?
[ QUOTE ]
To express regret of slavery this many years later is rediculous. It would be more appropriate to express regret of more recent racist policies that some of them may actually have contributed to.

I agree completely--slave owners and their immediate relatives are all deceased. The reminiscences of slavery remain to this day and that's what the apology should be about.
If someone agrees to reparations, I am leaving this country (or at least the state that this actually takes place).
