Although I'm sure there are some senators such as former KKK member Robert Byrd (D - WV), who would have liked to own slaves, I suggest no American alive has ever owned a slave and that no American alive has ever been a slave! Slavery was atrocious, but we did not commit the act, so why should we apologize? Apparently the lying-about-my-military-record-because-I-want-to-be-President idiot from Iowa, Tom Harkin wants to make a spectacle out of apologizing for slavery.

From Newsvine:

WASHINGTON — The Senate has unanimously passed a resolution apologizing for slavery and racial segregation and sent the measure to the House.

Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin first introduced the measure years ago but wanted it passed Thursday on the eve of Juneteenth - a day of celebration commemorating the end of the Civil War and the release of African Americans from slavery. He said the House is to take it up soon and that a formal celebration will be held next month in the Capitol Rotunda.

I know our nation requires a show and what better way to provide the show than with a grand apology made by those who never committed the act bestowed upon those who never experienced the act? Will part of the ceremony include one of Barack Obama's teleprompters (representing his mother's ancestry, aka whitey) apologizing to the other teleprompter (which represents his father's ancestry, aka Africans that were not captured by fellow Africans and sold into slavery)?  Even if it doesn't include a half-Obama apology, the celebration will only be historic if Barack and RuPaul play central roles.
