The Governor has never had any slaves why apologize. Time for someone else “To get over it”
This is idiocy!
Justice Brothers, attention Justice Brothers: Please pick up the courtesy phone...
All the FReepers were saying how brilliant McDonnell was for bringing up this meaningless controversy.
Well you can be sure that the Post harped on them for this. Remember their Macaca crusade?
Nobody in America will deny that slavery is evil. What is important to remember is that it was around since the beginning of man. African slaves were not the only slaves. The Jews in Egypt come to mind. Africans were sold into slavery by other Africans.
America is the one nation that had a war with itself involving the issue.
They would have been better off in Africa...or on the streets.
America became their only chance and they're blowing it...
Apologies aren’t enough...Time to put out the big screen TV’s.../s
One could say the same thing about Socialism, wonder if we can get an apology for that also?
The REAL ABOMONATION is not slavery from 200 years ago. It’s the TAX SLAVERY of ourselves and the next two generations, so far, who have to be fleeced of their earnings to hand out to the “less fortunate”, and to purchase and/or subsidize the Government takeovers of private businesses.
During the American Civil War, Richmond served as the capital of the Confederate States of America, and many important American Civil War landmarks remain in the city today[when?], including the Virginia State Capitol and the White House of the Confederacy, among others.

It’s cruel but truthful to say but slavery is a great deal for todays Black Americans. Would any Black American want to live in Africa? Many Italian-Americans could handle living in Italy. No American blackman is ever going to retire in Africa but I know plenty of Polish and Greek Americans who retire in the “old country”
If their ancestors hadn’t be made slaves (just like they did in Africa back then) where would they be?
Please, Lord, send me a conservative politician who will refuse to apologize just because leftists bray or whine.
Today’s Southerners, when compared to their ancestors, are Pussies.
Isn’t it time that Democrat Party apologize for being the party of slavery? The Black Codes? Jim Crow Laws? Segregation? And rightfully claim their terror wing the KKK and apologize for same.
May as well get it all out.
Maybe we should ban the Democrat Party?
the stupid party persists in forgetting that we no longer have a first amendment.
I apologize for people who never were slaves who keep behaving as if they still are.
I apologize for a media who will take this stupid story and run with it, making it a huge deal when this nation is sliding into slavery to government.
I do not apologize for the Democrat party--the party of slavery, segregation, and sustained sustenance by government.
I never got why GOP politicians continue to apologize when the left demands it. The left never does the same with conservatives. Who cares what a few whiney liberals think?
*sigh*
The Republicans never learn, NEVER appoligize to the race pimps.
Who knew all those Virginians fighting in the Civil War done so to preserve Slavery? Conversely, all those fighting for the Union done so to free the Slaves.
Ask George Allen how much Virginians appreciate “apologies”.
McDonnell has just exposed himself as a weakling.
