They are sorry for what? None of them owned slaves. In African and Arab States today blacks are held as slaves. Most slavers are Arabs. They take Christian and pagan blacks and sell them in Yemen, Saudi and Mauratainia. In the Sudan they ran out of Christian blacks to enslave and now they kidnap Muslim Blacks to sell. Ever hear of Dafur? It’s all about profiting from slavery. Where are Revs. Jackson and Sharpton on this issue? Where are the black-Muslim protestors? I have yet to hear a Muslim slaver say sorry. Why should current residents of any U.S. State say sorry?
