So does he support all of the “wronged” blacks getting a free relocation to west Africa?

‘We have got to apologize for slavery’
-
I went to the source article, hoping to find ‘who’ he wants to apologize to.
I never saw it, but I did see this
Sanders: “...slavery killed millions of people who never made it across the ocean...”

‘who’ he wants to apologize to.

The black primary voters.

He saw what they did to Hillary in '08.

You almost forgot, every black person has been given the right to beat up whites, loot, and kill at least 2 of them and the media will make up excuses for them

An apology requires you to actually be sorry, BS. Seeing as you’re pushing the same thing racism and slavery fall under, me thinks you’re just blowing political gas.

“As a nation — I don’t think as a president, but as a nation — we have got to apologize for slavery,” the 2016 Democratic presidential contender told host Joe Madison

Did Madison ask Bernie if $15 trillion and 600,000 dead were not payment enough?

Apologize for slavery? Fine....then after we apologize, all the people whose ancestors were slaves can feel free to either accept the apology and go back to Africa, or not accept the apology and state they're glad to be Americans and not live in some pesthole, black African country.

As Muhammad Ali said, "I'm glad my great grandpappy got on that boat."

You know what, after the African tribes and muslins apologize maybe there can be some discussion, NOT! I seem to recall thousands of lives and billions of dollars having been offered up in regards to slavery in this country. If this was an issue relating to Jews or Christians these people would be telling us to get over it and move on!

This man is insane, like most liberals. Those that owe the apology and those the apology is owed to are no longer around - how ridiculous can you get?

Has anyone wondered why we can currently have good relations with Germany and Japan even though we were in a terrible and brutal war with them during my lifetime, but cannot establish a good relationship with the black community when slavery was abolished over 150 years ago?

"Sins of your fathers"

You mean the dragging of them out of their stone age/savage lifestyle into semi modernity?

LOL. Hardly. Just pointing out how stupid it is to presume there should be any “white guilt”. Or privilege.

My Granfather’s Grandfater limped most of his adult life due to a knee injury he suffered during the fight to free the slaves. (Read gunshot wound) His brother was killed. I can find not one of my ancestors born or living south of the Mason Dixon Line from the 1600s to 1959 when my father moved us from Illinois to Arizona. For that mater I can find no evidence of any ancestors voting for the party of slavery. We have been Republicans since John C. Fremont ran for president.

I do believe the Democrats should apologize for slavery. Me and mine don’t!

My family buried an 18 year old at Gettysburg. We did our part, too. Enough.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday said the nation owes an apology for slavery.

Who is this fruitcake?
And what kind of arrogance entitles him to speak me for me or anyone else?

If he feels like apologizing, let him do that, then STFU!!

What we need is libtards to apologize for ever electing Sanders in the first place. I also think Muzzies should apologize for enslaving people in modern times. Sanders should aggressively attack this.
