H/T to a blogger named Chesterar at BigGovernment.com.
In 2009, in honor of Juneteenth or Freedom Day, Sen. Landrieu co-sponsored a Senate resolution that apologized for the enslavement and racial segregation of African-Americans. The resolution acknowledged the fundamental injustice and cruelty of slavery and Jim Crow laws; apologized to African-Americans for the wrongs committed against them and their ancestors; and called on all Americans to work toward eliminating racial prejudices, injustices and discrimination from our society.
“The enslavement and segregation of African Americans is a sad chapter in American history,” Sen. Landrieu said. “Although our society and government has made significant strides in advancing civil rights, our current progress does not correct the mistakes of our past. A full apology is not only necessary, but long overdue. This resolution helps ensure that we never again subject people of any race to the cruelty and brutality that African Americans endured throughout much of our nation’s history.”

Oh, for heaven’s sake. Why don’t these people start worrying about the slavery that is going on right now? Do something about that? There is slavery going on all over this world. Or does the sex slave business not count?
Who exactly is she trying to suck up to?
