Delaware to Apologize for Slavery

It must be nice to be Jack Markell at this point in his career. He can just troll the shit out of Republican fuck-wits all he wants.

Delaware Governor Jack Markell, commemorating the 150th anniversary of the 13th Amendment outlawing slavery in the United States, announced on Sunday a resolution to officially apologize for his state’s role in slavery.

“We must publicly and candidly acknowledge the lasting damage of past sins – damage that continues to reverberate more than 150 years after the abolition of slavery,” Markell told worshippers at Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Wilmington, Delaware, his office said.

The ratification of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution officially ended U.S. slavery on Dec. 6, 1865.

Someone should ask John Carney about this. I wonder what his half hearted agreement would sound like in 3 to 4 weeks?
