Connecticut apologizes for profiting from enslaving blacks, but will not, never-ever, don't-hold-your-breath, provide reparations.
Connecticut has jumped on the so-sorry-slaves bandwagon. The state joins Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, New Jersey, Florida and Maryland in the need to apologize for economic and human exploitation. Connecticut Senator Toni Harp feels the apology is a step forward in elevating American consciousness, but she advises: there will be no reparations. Interpretation: don't get crazy, black folks.
