"Senate approves resolution apologizing for slavery
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Senate on Thursday passed a resolution apologizing to African-Americans for the wrongs of slavery.
The nonbinding resolution sponsored by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, is similar to a House resolution adopted last year that acknowledged the wrongs of slavery but offered no reparations. The House will have to vote on the issue again because the composition of that chamber changed after last November's elections.
The resolution was approved on a voice vote.
Because it is nonbinding, it does not have to be forwarded to the president for his signature.
Several states have passed similar resolutions, but the House resolution was the first time a branch of the federal government did so."

- No, I said you sound like Archie Bunker. Because you have the sensibilities of a 60 year old white man.DrBombay
- Yeah because officially apologizing for something that has zero bearing on today is soooo metropolitan.tommyo
