Feel free to apologize all you want, I bear no personal guilt over slavery. I see no need to offer gratuitous apologies and you have no right to demand one. I'll repent my own sins, not those of others. I feel it more important that we look to the future to ensure that African-Americans are treated with dignity, respect, and equality deserving of them and all races. I'm not going to play the guilt game. If that offends you, too bad. I've had enough of people's rights being infringed because someone claims to be offended. As this thread is starting to stray away Virginia history and more into the modern day politics of being people offended, I'll pretty much leave it at that.
