HOW many TIMES do we have to APOLOGIZE?????? I've never gotten an apology for the injustices done to my likely Roman ancestors.....sheesh.....get over it, and get a life.
To say nothing of the fact that without the facilitating by various arab nations of the time (and now as well!) there would have been NO slave trade to begin with.
WHere are the articles requesting reparations and apologies from those folks? I suggest the author of this latest hit piece (it all comes down to President Bush's failures and shortcomings, you know) research the subject more thoroughly and write an article about the background and the facilitators of the slave trade in those times.
In fact, most people who paid any attention at all, know that African tribes sold their own people to the Arabs who in turn sold them in various countries, including the southern United States. Shouldn't reparations be paid by those tribes who committed atrocities against their own people?
The entire subject makes me sick. It's a joke and I find it hard to believe that people are still writing about it as tho there is any sense to it.
Karl Rove is at the root of it all. We all know how diabolical he can be.
