Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday said the nation owes an apology for slavery.
As a nation I dont think as a president, but as a nation we have got to apologize for slavery, the 2016 Democratic presidential contender told host Joe Madison on Sirius XMs The Black Eagle.
As a nation we have got to apologize for slavery, and of course the president is the leader of the nation, he added.
Sanders said that slavery had caused too much suffering to remain unaddressed.
Obviously nobody in this generation was involved in slavery, Sanders said.

“but cannot establish a good relationship with the black community when slavery was abolished over 150 years ago?”

The Germans and Japanese always had a tremendous work ethic. The libs made the blacks wallow in dependency.
.
Or does he think an apology would inflame racial tensions (in which case he's being cynical)?
My guess is the first, but a lot of people will conclude it's the second.
I think mine did, I still ain’t sorry for something an ancestor did 200 plus years ago.
“We” don’t have to do anything, especially the “we” who were not yet born with ancestors in Europe at the time. I am tired of the socialist, leftests, demoRATS dictating what “we but not me” need to do.
And no reason you should be.
You apologize, Bernie.
My ancestors weren’t here 150 years ago.
Native Americans deserve the first three apologies and reparations. All others get a ticket to go where they can get better treatment.
Yes Bernie, I’m sorry Obama didn’t crush ISIS, the Terrorists who are currently Enslaving Women and Young Girls as Sex Slaves.
Then again Bernie, you did say that Women love to fantasize about being Raped, so it must be a dream come true for those Enslaved Women, right?
No where they tell you their oral history of how the white man ruined their utopian lifestyle and raped and pillaged the earth in their conquest of all things non white.
I’m sorry you are a dumb shit, won’t change it just sorry!
We’re all out of white guilt here (actually never had any in stock), so up yours, Bernie!
What’s stopping them from going back to that “utopian” lifestyle?
Again? When will black countries apologize for slavery?
Oh right. Slavery is still legal in black countries.
As I am sure with others here, my family considers the debt paid in blood and in full. Don’t expect anymore.
Slavery is still practiced in parts of Africa. Bernie should begin his apology quest there. And until he does just that, he can STFU.
If whites have to apologize for slavery then blacks should have to thank white folks for not having to live in the 3rd world disease ridden starvation factory that is Africa.
We’ll apologize for slavery when Bernie apologizes for the hundred million dead “scientific socialism” (aka Communism).
A real Dead Head Red, he be.
Hey Bernie, someone posted a while back that the first slaveowner was a black man. Are blacks going to apologize too?
How about this Bernie?
