Annapolis Apologizes for Slavery

Annapolis has joined a handful of jurisdictions across the country to officially apologize for its role in the American slave trade.

 The City Council passed a resolution unanimously Monday, with aldermen Michael Christman and Julie Stankivic abstaining.

 Sponsored by aldermen Richard Israel and Sam Shropshire, the measure went through substantial revisions, with the final version, drafted by Israel, expressing "profound regret" and recommending that the last week in October be a week for studying slavery.

 "The citizens can be proud that Annapolis is the first municipal body to apologize for its past support of slavery and segregation," Shropshire said.

 Annapolis was one of the Chesapeake region's earliest slave ports, yet had a large class of free blacks. Slavery was abolished in Maryland in 1864. [MORE]

Sorry ,Sorry for what Your race has become a bunch a lazy thugs who commit most of the crime all over. The only thing most people are sorry about is bringing your sorry asses over here. Your own people sold your sorry asses. Shit why don't y'all go back to that shit hole. All black neighborhoods are shit holes and the only people that live in them are a bunch of sorry ass niggers. Big cities suck because of all the niggers in them. Niggers are ruining America. It would be great if America was nigger free. Nobody likes niggers it's all a front from liberals to conservatives when it comes down to it niggers are not wanted anywhere. Most are just a bunch of loud mouth welfare leeches.

If I was a NIGGER I would thank God every day that America had slavery and that my family was part of it. Other wise I wouldn't be living on this side of the Atlantic!
