What bullshit. First off all, Pres Bush didnt own slaves nor did anyone else alive today. Getting past that, it was the rich African landowners and Kings and whatnot that sold thier own slaves and other young men as slaves to the historical people on boats that were en route to the new land.
"Sorry we participated in the same act this entire contentinent did" Theres an apology someone with balls and common sense would give.

Mad props to Fluff for the sig and C.O.soup for hosting!

Before you get your panties in a Wadd:

<a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030708/ap_on_re_af/bush_africa_29" target="_blank">Bush Condemns Slavery in Africa Speech</a>
"Human beings were delivered, sorted, weighed, branded with marks of commercial enterprises and loaded as cargo on a voyage without return," Bush said. "One of the largest migrations in history was also one of the greatest crimes of history."

Bush did not apologize for slavery but noted Americans throughout history "clearly saw this sin and called it by name."

"The spirit of Africans in America did not break," Bush said. "Yet the spirit of their captors was corrupted."

The president recited a litany of Africans and African Americans who made contributions to American society, from the arts to politics: abolitionist Frederick Douglass, slave-poet Phillis Wheatley and Martin Luther King Jr.

"The stolen sons and daughters of Africa helped to awaken the conscience of America," he said.

Despite painful shared history, Bush said the United States and African nations must work together to eradicate disease and war, and to encourage greater business ties.

If there is a god in heaven, Sharpton will use this to start another round of reparations talk.

Please, Jesus, please.
