United States Will Finally Apologize for Jim Crow

The House of Representatives finally passed a motion apologizing to African Americans for slavery and the Jim Crow era. Read the story here.  

Who cares right? 

But no, hang on, some people actually do care. 

I just think this is a thinly veiled attempt to capitalize on the "post-racial" temperament of America in light of the successful candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama. I could be wrong but I'm definitely not too far from the truth. 

What do you think?
