Well the Jews have had their apologies so its quite right that countries not people should apologise for slavery.Listen Europe is what is is today because of slavery,the plantocracy and all the wealth was as a result of slavery.I am black with an English name,why is that?because of slavery for god sake,i dont know my African ancestors all i know is my Englsh names and slave owners heritage from Scotland.Are you saying that an entire generation of blacks robbed of their original identity do not deserve an apology?Remember that there are millions of English people now who don't want to accept the fact that their ancestors were slave owners and that their wealth was as a result.It is time we stop the flimsey excuse of it happened 2 centuries ago,for whites it's dates in their minds but for a black man its as if it happened yesterday.Just do the moral thing and apologise;healing is importnant
