Default Re: Virginia apologizes for slavery... why?

Well I think apologizing for slavery really has no point. It is a meaningless gesture. As far as reparations go, I personally have mixed feelings. I think individual payments to African Americans would be a terrible idea for many reasons, but I for one think that not enough has been done to really make an effort to combat the problems caused by slavery and subsequent segregation and mistreatment of blacks.
