N.J. may become first northern state to apologize for slavery (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/N/NJ_SLAVERY_APOLOGY_NJOL-?SITE=NJHAC&SECTION=HOME)

New Jersey would become the first northern state and the fifth state overall to apologize for slavery under a measure to be considered this week by state lawmakers.

"This is not too much to ask of the state of New Jersey," said Assemblyman William Payne, who sponsors the bill. "All that is being requested of New Jersey is to say three simple words: We are sorry."


Who knew?:

According to the proposal, New Jersey had one of the largest slave populations in the northern colonies, was the last northern state to free slaves and was the last northeast state to abolish slavery, doing so in 1846.

It also allowed authorities to return runaway slaves to their owners and didn't ratify the amendment prohibiting slavery until January 1866, a bit more than a month after its passage and after rejecting it in 1865.

"It's a disgraceful part of our state's history," said Payne, the brother of U.S. Rep. Donald Payne.

[Snoogans]

FUCK THAT. Nobody alive in any state owned a slave, so no one should apologize

[BoondockSaint]

This will not satisfy Earl.

Words are fine, now about that 40 trillion dollars you owe us !!

[SatCam]

Ok but seriously, considering everyone who owned slaves is dead..............

[Snoogans]

i just bought this baby straight cash

[TheMojoPin]

Look at it, America...LOOK AT HOW TRON IS LIIIIIIIIVIN'!!!!

[pennington]

First, stopping a death penalty that was never used, now this. Is this REALLY the best use of their time? How about working on cutting some spending, boys, so you don't have to raise taxes YET AGAIN.

This is what happens when one party controls everything in Trenton.

Wow... maybe you guys can knock off the bullshit about the ignorant racist south now. At least the south is aware of their history. People in your state owned slaves too and not just owned slaves but owned the MOST slaves in the north. Last to let go of slavery in the northeast, returned runaway slaves to their southern owners. SUPRISE!!! Ain't that a bitch ya buncha fuckin' hypocrites.

[TheMojoPin]

Pretty much every nothern state returned the slaves to the owners if the owners came to get them. Sometimes, they would even let them take a black person who wasnt actually a slave but that the southerner said was. ALL NORHTERN STATES did that.

Who are you even talking to?

That's right. The entire state.

[Bulldogcakes]

My family (like most Italian immigrants) arrived here in the early 1900's.

I don't have a dog in this fight.

[badmonkey]

My family like most Irish immigrants were more likely to be slaves than own slaves. My German uncles in PA were steelworkers. I don't know when my family came over, but if a former slave had 40 acres and a mule, somebody a few generations back in my family probably called him "boss".

[Snoogans]

pay up snoogans.

I only give reperations with sexual favors.

Seriously, I dont even care. My family didnt get to this country until after slavery was abolished, and Irish were treated almost as bad when they got here. NJ should apologize to me too

Shit where i came from.. We didn't even see a black person that wasn't on TV before 1985.

[Bossanova]

The only thing New Jersey need apologize for is Bruce Springsteen

[Snoogans]

Shit where i came from.. We didn't even see a black person that wasn't on TV before 1985.

You dont even live in NJ

[Bulldogcakes]

Let me throw this into the mix. If this helps us get past the racial divide (or whats left of it) then I'm all for it. They aren't paying any reparations, they're not granting anyone special rights or privileges, they're not giving anyone anything. They're just offering a symbolic apology in the hope of healing some very old wounds. Not the end of the world.


Now that we got that out of the way, I would like to personally apologize for the Irish Potato Famine. That was a real doozy on my part.

[Snoogans]

yea exactly. They arent paying shit, its words. you think some black lady in camden is gonna give a fuck that NJ is sorry when she is still broke

[foodcourtdruide]

What a waste of time. New Jersey, the state is apologizing? So like... the people of New Jersey aren't apologizing, but the STATE of New Jersey is apologizing? This could not mean less.

Does the New Jersey get hungry? Does it feel cold? Does it like hugs? My point is.. HOW THE FUCK COULD A STATE FEEL SORRY?!?!?!

[Snoogans]

who cares if they do feel sorry. I wouldnt even care so much about it if black people actually wanted it. But this isnt gonna mean shit to anyone.

[Snoogans]

How about they apologize for fuckin running the state so horribly that they actually closed casinos cause they couldnt agree on how to spend money cause they had none. Apologize to me for being so stupid you close the biggest money maker for you cause you are out of money. What the fuck, this whole state government is fucking every person in the state RIGHT NOW. Apologize for that, Corzine

[TheMojoPin]

When is Jersey going to apologize for Bon Jovi?

[Hottub]

When is Jersey going to apologize for Bon Jovi?

When they pry his hair gel and mousse from my cold, dead hand!

[Snoogans]

and Bruce. And Ratt.

[Hottub]

Ratt?
Are you joking? They are from fucking San Diego!
Don't go near my porch, son!

[Snoogans]

I was always told they were from South Jersey. Good, fuck em them. Replace them with Skid Row

and Im happy I dont know where they are from. RATT SUCKS BALLS.

[Hottub]

Not Skid Row either (LA)
Possibly Cinderella. A philly band with some members from South Jersey.

And Don't you dare dis Philly on Ronnie B's birthday!

[Snoogans]

Skid Row is an American heavy metal band, formed in 1986 in Toms River, New Jersey. They are named after Gary Moore's first band. Their current line-up consists of Johnny Solinger (vocals), Dave "The Snake" Sabo, Scotti Hill (guitar), Rachel Bolan (bass) and Dave Gara (drums).

I know for a fact they are from Jersey. So dont even try to fuckin pull that shit

[BoondockSaint]

Not Skid Row either (LA)



Nope. They from Jersey. HAHA!

[Snoogans]

Ronnie B's birthday was yesterday so Philly sucks. And the skid row you are thinkin of in LA was an actual neighborhood called skid row. the band is from Jersey.

POWNED

[Snoogans]

Shortly thereafter Bach put on, during a concert, a t-shirt proclaiming the anti-gay slogan "AIDS Kills Fags Dead". The shirt was thrown onstage by a fan, and Bach, without looking at it, put it on. After the concert Bach apologized, stating "My grandmother had recently died of cancer, I guess I would be pissed too if I saw someone wearing a 'Cancer Kills Grandmothers Dead' shirt". In later years Bach apologized seriously for wearing the shirt, and made a substantial donation to an AIDS charity.

this was very funny to me for some reason

[Hottub]

Wasn't Sebastian Bach born in Ontario?
Skid Row made it big on the strip in LA.
I'm so tired and confused.

ok where people are from and where they got work arent the same. Poison is from Pa but they got famous in LA. Every band gets famous somewhere. They werent from that place necc. and I still think you are wrong on the LA thing based on this:
Skid Row was formed in Toms River, New Jersey, in 1986 by bassist Rachel Bolan and guitarist Dave "The Snake" Sabo. The pair added guitarist Scotti Hill, drummer Rob Affuso, and lead vocalist Sebastian Bach, who replaced original lead vocalist Matt Fallon, to the line-up by early 1987. The band began playing shows in clubs throughout the eastern United States.

With the assistance of friend Jon Bon Jovi, Sabo secured a record deal for Skid Row with Atlantic Records in 1988, then entered the studio with Michael Wagener (of Ozzy Osbourne, White Lion and Extreme fame) to record their their first album. Skid Row, released in January 1989, was an instant success. The record went 5x platinum and produced the hit singles "18 and Life", "I Remember You", and "Youth Gone Wild".

Oh ok, so it looks like they got famous playing ALL EASTERN US CLUBS and with help from Bon Jovi. In New Jersey. They never had ANYTHING to do with LA until they were famous.



POWNED

[Hottub]

So you are saying Jersey and Bon Jovi rule?

AWESOME!!:clap:

[badmonkey]

oh yeah? Well you call soda "POP"

I don't think that happens south of PA. I've been offered "pop", "soda pop", and "sodies" in PA and north but have never served any of them myself. Come to my house and I'll offer you a drink, some coffee, a beer, or ask you if you want a "coke or something".

Now that I'm thinkin about it... don't come to my house.... my children live there. :banning:

[Hottub]

Crankcase is from NJ/NY. They are not due to due the LA Strip until the sring.
I guess you are right.

On behalf of the whole state of New Jersey, we're sorry that you're Irish.

Including us I wouldn't say crankcase has made it famous.

[earthbrown]

its about time someone apologized for all the crime and drug problems in this country!!!


This is just another stupid liberal guilt policy. If they do apologize, I bet all the homies in Newark will lay down their guns and stop killing people....

[TheMojoPin]

Thank you for that. You never let us down.

I'm sorry I did that. I’m embarrassed that I did that.

ok good, the Irish will allow you to resume your posting career

and just know you got off light. I coulda called some friends in the "army" and made you have to think long and hard before starting your car

[scottinnj]

Who Cares.


NJ Taxpayers should. This may be well-intentioned by the hand wringing douchebags in Trenton, but legally it is an admission of guilt that opens our states coffers to opportunists with the right activist judges in their pocket. NJ is the world capital for jackpot juries, get a lawsuit to go to a jury here and you are almost guaranteed millions.

And we'd like to apologize for:

Corzine

Whitman
Florio
Kean
Lautenburg
Menendez

And all the "special people" that voted for them.

[BoondockSaint]

The only good thing that ever came out of Jersey was Lloyd Lindsay Young doing the weather. HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEWARK!!!!!!!!!!!

[joethebartender]

The state should apologize for the smell that is always present just north of Newark airport. Just put it up on one of those amber alert signs, when not in use: "No one in your car farted...it was us. Sorry. Love, New Jersey."

By the Bye; When is Spain going to apologise for the inquisition?...Or should that be Rome's job?

I think Springsteen should give the apology: "We are sorry....WHOA, WHOA, WHOA."
