Slavery needs to be seen in the context of the time. People in England were worked as slaves in factories and had to endure similar treatment. Furthermore, it is pointless to apologise for other peoples crimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16142566.post-1153729963355907152006-07-24T01:32:00.000-07:002006-07-24T01:32:00.000-07:00This is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. The people of Bristol today have no responsibility for what their ancestors did. It is like saying the Government should apologise for hanging and capital punishment once having been legal, or a school having to apologise for using the cane on its pupils in the nineteenth century. The past is past, let us understand it and move on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16142566.post-1147949849233597082006-05-18T03:57:00.000-07:002006-05-18T03:57:00.000-07:00I think we should say sorry for the atlantic slave trade, because we had no right to take the africans from thir home country and sell them for slavescompton14http://www.blogger.com/profile/15949065183062957981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16142566.post-1147867034298405372006-05-17T04:57:00.000-07:002006-05-17T04:57:00.000-07:00Yes, because black people were treated unfairly cos at the end of the everyone is equal.compton19http://www.blogger.com/profile/10725950247967974666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16142566.post-1147866987714588082006-05-17T04:56:00.000-07:002006-05-17T04:56:00.000-07:00no, because during the historic timeline we were all slaves at 1 point. every race, religion and culture. we should try and forget this and live as 1 happy family.compton7http://www.blogger.com/profile/08838552967424158235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16142566.post-1147866739953750272006-05-17T04:52:00.000-07:002006-05-17T04:52:00.000-07:00Yes, because the way black people were treated in those days was very heartless and unfair because all people should be treated the same way, so if black people had to do it, white people should have done it is well cause as much of this world is white peoples is the same to blacks and other coloured people.compton19http://www.blogger.com/profile/10725950247967974666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16142566.post-1147866696522450522006-05-17T04:51:00.000-07:002006-05-17T04:51:00.000-07:00I believe that we should apoligise for the trade because we took a big part in it. if we dont people think that we are racist and would be willing to carry it on.compton13http://www.blogger.com/profile/04812360240180832640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16142566.post-1147866605511053842006-05-17T04:50:00.001-07:002006-05-17T04:50:00.001-07:00I BELIEVE WE SHOULD BEACAUSE OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF BLACK PEOPLE TO THIS DAY.
