Charleston formally apologizes for its role in slavery

A southern city is formally apologizing for its dark past.

Charleston, South Carolina, has approved a resolution that condemns and apologizes for the centuries of human slavery that were supported and promoted by its former lawmakers. The city council's 12 members voted 7-5 to adopt the symbolic resolution Tuesday night, coinciding with "Juneteenth," the celebratory anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the United States.

The port city played a major role in the Atlantic slave trade. Nearly half of the people who were abducted from their homes in Africa and shipped to the United States to be sold into slavery took their first steps on American soil in Charleston. Slaves made up almost half of the city's population before the start of the American Civil War, according to the International African American Museum in Charleston.

"This is the modern city council which feels the need to make an apology for the institution of slavery in the city of Charleston," Charleston councilman William Dudley Gregorie, who helped author and shepherd the resolution, told ABC News in a telephone interview before Tuesday's vote.

Shouldn’t the cities in Africa that helped create this apologize as well?

Shouldn't Black Americans apologize for all the crimes they've committed?

White Americans have committed way more crime than Blacks could ever dream of. Have they apologized?

Wrong. Black-crime statistics are sky-high.

False. Whites commit the vast majority of crimes. Its not even close.

You're wrong. Blacks have the highest crime-stats. They overcrowd our prisons.

Anyone else find it amusing how this apology has lead to so much "racial healing", as witnessed by the warm group hug going on in these pages?

They can take this fake apology and flush it straight down the toilet. THE CONFEDERACY WILL RISE AGAIN.

The confederacy was "flushed down the toilet" in 1865, you loon. The civil war is over.

So why you keep pretending otherwise?

You said you are not pretending that the civil war is not over. The implication is that you are acting as though the civil war is ongoing, right now.

You are out there. That statement is not even worthy of any discussion.

The stats speak for themselves Correll. You don't get to make 1 crime 5 just because you have a psychological problem. What you believe is fake news.
