Led by Harkin, Senate approves apology for slavery | DesMoinesRegister.com | The Des Moines Register See here: http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20090619%2FNEWS09%2F906190370

My reaction: I don't want financial reparations for there is not enough money in the world to apologize for the pain the black American community has endured for GENERATIONS since our ancestors were SHACKLED in chains across the Atlantic Ocean.

I want mandatory skill programs, educational opportunities, business opportunities and for our community to be uplifted during this time. Maybe I am wishful thinking but it doesn't hurt to share what we want.

I'm thankful that the US government will grant this apology recognizing that slavery did happen in the United States but I am curious to know what maybe in store in the long run. That is more important to me.

Our community needs direction.

In the words of Kasim Allah, sometimes I want to bring back segregation to teach some lessons so people really understands the history of our hurt (poem by Kasim Allah below) http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=64721838&blogId=182856315

MICHAEL!!!! (that is Janet with him. Picture source ROLLING STONE)

Been a fan since 1979 !! He was the FABRIC as to why I am the music fanatic that I am. Love you always, Michael Joseph Jackson.

Personal fact: the doctor who delivered me was named Michael Jackson, MD too! May they BOTH be at peace. He died a long time ago and he told me that little girls used to call him thinking he was the singer Michael Jackson. Too cute!
