I guess they are sorry for taking Africans from their homeland, packing them like animals inside of ships and then selling them off inside this and other countries. No apology can make up for the damage done to the African/Black family because of this. Men were used primarily to breed and women were used to produce more slaves. Fear was placed in the hearts and minds of them all. That fear has been passed down for generations.
President Obama just returned from a visit to Germany, where he went to the camps that the Nazis used to keep the Jews that were worked to death. They never forget. They shouldn't. This country has never really dealt with slavery. Just as Africa has never truly dealt with it.
An apology is just a facade. Millions died in the Middle passage. An apology will not bring them back!
