We're Sorry... uh, Our Bad.

Quoted from the original CNN.com article

"The House of Representatives was poised Tuesday to pass a resolution apologizing to African-Americans for slavery and the era of Jim Crow.

The House is poised to pass a resolution that would apologize for slavery and Jim Crow.

The nonbinding resolution, which is expected to pass, was introduced by Rep. Steve Cohen, a white lawmaker who represents a majority black district in Memphis, Tennessee.

While many states have apologized for slavery, it will be first time a branch of the federal government will apologize for slavery if the resolution passes, an aide to Cohen said.

By passing the resolution, the House would also acknowledge the 'injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery and Jim Crow.'"

Because, you know, this will fix everything, like the other apologies mentioned at the bottom of the article:

"In April, the Senate passed a resolution sponsored by Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kansas, that apologized to Native Americans for 'the many instances of violence, maltreatment and neglect.'

In 1993, the Senate also passed a resolution apologizing for the 'illegal overthrow' of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893."

When reached for comment regarding this most recent heartfelt apology for slavery, the Native American spokesperson and the Hawaiian spokesperson, in two separate but eerily similar interviews, responded by laughing, making a profane gesture, and saying, "Fucking white people."
