My family didn't even come here until 1918 & 1922 (legally) and they didn't own any slaves.

We have a black man as president. I think the blacks are doing just fine without an apology from me.

That's good, we should continue to focus on the injustices of the past in order to make racial issues a thing of the past. At some point, people will have to realize that sure, crappy things happened as little as 50 years ago, but...

Yes, if they demanded an apology from someone who had nothing to do with it.

And that is the problem. I don't want any of us forgetting the past, but if we keep living in it, we will never improve the present and future.
