slavery has been going on in Africa for a long time before colonization.

Slavery existed in China in the 18th century BC, in India in the first century BC, and throughout the history of Islam. Why is America singled out to apologize?

Because Goree Island sent many slaves to America? That is what I read in a few articles... and because Dubya is there. Then again, it's like standing by the Vietnam War Memorial. How can you not be moved by something so momentous?

Because we're the only ones who are goofy-assed enough to do it.
