The North Carolina Senate apologizes for Slavery and Jim Crow Law
Through a symbolic action, North Carolina Senate apologized for the legislature's role in promoting slavery and Jim Crow laws that denied basic human rights to the states black citizens. Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand, a Democrat and the bill’s primary sponsor said: “This is a way to reflect upon this and express our understanding and our regret for official actions of our state”.
Jim Crow laws, I need to say that, was some rules against blacks through which they were deprived of many of their civil rights, so for this reason they started their resistance. This is an action that can have different meanings. It may be a true apology to those whose ancestors suffered under slavery era in North Carolina, as it seems, because there is no force on them for such an action, but what it is not to be ignored is that maybe a political reason lies behind this action, according to Democrats' triumph in November 2006 election of Congress. Although this is a state senate who apologies for past, but it may be done by them to represent their sympathy and take African-American's attention for 2008 presidential election. Actually I don not know about the political tendency of senators in North Carolina but it seems that they may be Democrats.
In 1990s the Democratic government of Bill Clinton tried to remove the signs of racial tendencies by promoting multiculturalism through a vast program in schools and even universities. They began shifting the contents of schools and universities books by replacing some cultural studies of minorities and ethnic groups and even studies of others regions in world like Middle East. One of important goals of this program was decreasing racial crises and making America, really, a liberal society, but most important one was deemed as attracting the minorities and ethnic groups' vote for presidential election, as S. Huntington claims in Who Are We?
It was reported by Associated Press retold by American Renaissance (a White Nationalists' site), to which many users of site put their comments on this issue, but many of them, as directors of site like, looked on issue as racial not politically. From now on we can wait and see how Democrats play such an action to win the 2008 election. In politics Democrats are busy, as recently Nancy Pelosi, the majority leader of the Congress tripped to Syria to negotiate with Syrian leaders to find way to reduce tensions between America and Syria. Today I read on morning news that Pelosi and Democrats seek to find a way to open negotiation's doors with Iran. All of these actions are conducted to represent a peace-loving face.
