You guys seriously don't think there is some continuity in the state? Bunch of people die, now it's a totally different state? Sure things evolve, but I'm sure there are a ton of rich people still living in Virginia that are relatives of slave owners; some may even be politicians.

Political, social and economic structures don't just dissapear after one generation. Taking the stance that economic, politicial and social institutions don't affect one another is just ignorant. Virgina, as a political entity, remnants of which still exist to this day, royally [censored] over black people. An apology is quite befitting.

Yea it's well put, but too bad he
1) didn't address the initial argument
and
2) misrepresented the position of poofler, pvn, some of the rest of us

Virginia doesn't take any actions, in 1850 or in present day. The people in Virginia take actions. We aren't arguing that their actions have no effect on future generations (a strawman you attributed to our camp), we're just saying the people that live in Viriginia today are not responsible. To claim they are is beyond ridiculous.
