All of the things that affect every American and need tending to and this what they spend their time (and our tax money) on?

I'd like to apologize to my children and grandchildren: I did not vote for Bush.

Sorry about everything I really am.

So do I. I can't imagine feeling guilty about something that happened before I was born and had nothing to do with. And like I said my family owned slaves, should I be apologizing to myself?

LOL- What if you didn't accept your own apology! Then we'd really have a situation! They won't let me rep you again but I wish I could.

I'd be deeply ashamed of my relatives & make every effort to show others that it was morally wrong to have slaves. You sound like you are proud

Bet my kids will be talking about this too someday.
I kinda figure a few hundred thou dead in a civil war over it is a hell of an apology.

Wow...now here's a "Black woman" who has issues with herself.

I am beyond words...I just cannot believe that a Black woman is making such statements. This is shocking to me because I have never heard another Black person make comments like this.
