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

[ QUOTE ]
It's not a matter of choice or culpability. It's matter of unfair advantages and rectifying them. It's saying, "We're sorry we completely [censored] you guys up for many generations. We will try to make sure you have the means to better yourselves."

[/ QUOTE ]

But "we" didn't do anything. "They" (ancestors) did. An apology doesn't mean much, anyway. It doesn't rectify an unfair advantage by your logic. Reparations would; do you support them? If today's generation starts taking meaningful accountability for the effects of past generations, where do you draw the historical line?
