Senator Sam Brownback, a Republican trying to inject new life into his beleaguered presidential campaign, plans to offer a resolution this week for Congress to apologize for slavery and segregation.
Brownback, of Kansas, told The Boston Globe's editorial board yesterday he will join an unnamed Democrat in sponsoring the proposal. He said he expects a tough fight on the resolution, even though it will not include any call for reparations.
"They were federal policies," he said. "They were wrong. The only way for us to move forward . . . is at the end of day acknowledging those, taking ownership for it, and asking for forgiveness."

Yes, I agree. Any current slave owners should apologize immediately. They should release their slaves too.
Brownback, Bush, Craig and Huckabee are the reason the GOP has sunk to new lows. These people should be selling used cars not running our govt. They are the worst creatures who prey on the stupid and uninformed to enact unconstitutional and corrupt legislation. They are the reason that Hitlery will be elected as our new president. Sad very sad......
BS. They were African and European policies.
