“The excuses are not vain gestures, but are a first stage necessary towards any reconciliation between the people”.

Are these words of Steven Cohen, the American member of Parliament with L? origin of the text voted on July 29, 2008 by “United States Congress” which recognizes “cruelty, brutality and L? inhumanity” 250 years D? slavery, of segregation and racial discrimination in the United States. With L? hour when L? America S? prepares to send a coloured man to the “White” House, the “excuses in the name of the American people” of the Parliament brutally put the Americans vis-a-vis the demons of passed and almost oblige them with S? to question on the present racial situation in the country. According to did the Australian examples, Canadian and Anglicans, the Americans want by this courageous and historical act to open “the dialogue on the racial questions” and to thus support L? “equality for all”.

When L? it is known that for certain people “the repentance is a hatred of oneself” and that L? one should not “ask the wire D? expier faults of their fathers”, the Room of the representatives by adopting to two thirds this text of the excuses to the minority “black” for the laws Jim Crow on the racial segregation and for the “fundamental injustice” of L? did slavery, want to show that L? America is able to recognize its wrongs and to include/understand all the pain of the communities which suffered from the most violent racism. C? is a manner as there of saying as in spite of “Civil Rights Act” promulgated by John F. Kennedy in 1964, guaranteeing to the American Africans the rights and freedoms like N? import which citizen, mentalities evolved/moved little and the problem of racial discrimination remains a major concern.


Greeted by the republicans and the democrats, like by the senators John McCain [1] and Barack Obama [2], these excuses intervene after the “regrets” expressed by L? former president Bill Clinton for the role of the United States in the draft of the slaves and George W. Bush, L? current president who qualified, in 2003, L? slavery of L? “one of the greatest crimes of L? History”. But this N? is not the first time that L? America S? illustrates in the repentance [3], in February 2008 [4], C? is the Senate which S? excused near the Indians D? America for the exactions made by the colonists. In 1988, did president Ronald Reagan and the Congress, sign a law which presented the excuses of L? America with the American Japanese who were held arbitrarily in camps during the Second World war [5]. Since L? abolition of L? did slavery in 1865, certain States of the South of the United States having a strong moral authority on this question express excuses with the Blacks for the perpetrated odious crimes, Virginia opened the ball in 2007, Maryland, North Carolina, L? Alabama followed. The declaration of the American Congress is a national recognition, an epic symbolic system which comes to support the efforts of the defenders of the civic rights and to establish more a duty of memory than legitimate.


There are a few tens D? years the American Blacks lived in “outlaw” in their own country. They were stripped of rights and N? had almost any freedom. C? were the “untouchable ones”. It could not take the bus with the White, even less to attend the same public places, in certain States the interraciaux marriages were prohibited and the children resulting from the secret connections between Noirs and White, or simply with the rape, were stigmatized more. During these years not so far from our present, Ku Klux Klan and its bunches “made violences against the black populations without risking of sorrow of justice”. At that time, Noir was synonymous D? to be lynched, for one yes or one not. One recognized to them no dignity, Blacks N? were what of the submen who could not S? to open out fully that in the brutality of the whip and the contempt of spittle. Still nowadays, the American Blacks “suffer from this past”, of these injustices which make their history always returning them in this place immonde that the others decided qu? it was theirs. The place of bet.


The text adopted by the Room of representatives N? does not have the claim to make close-cropped table of last like L? his principal author the white democrat Steve Cohen underlined, but he wants to support a greater bringing together between the various racial entities which compose the United States and make a rich person melting-pot of it. But it N? in residence not less than these excuses open the way with legal proceedings, with requests for repairs and compensations. The true argument which makes that D? other guilty countries of crimes against L? humanity like colonization N? their excuses will never express. Any N? being at bottom qu? a question D? money and often D? arrogance. It is clear that the excuses of American people N? L will not erase? assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and other murders, but does it have the merit to allow the younger generations of replonger in L? history of their country by knowing that any N? y was not white. C? is to throw the foundations D? a future common, responsible and right. Then contrary to will the republican Tom Tandecredo of Colorado asking the democrats “to start to be concerned with problems of the XXe century, like the price of the crude barrel, rather than to concentrate on a problem of the XIXe century, already solved by Abraham Lincoln”, these excuses contribute to build the present, to think of the future in L? optics D? a better integration of the minorities.


In margin of the feeling of general satisfaction which accompanied this strong act, of many voices protested against this “politicking masquerade” of the Congress. For Andrew Cline, to defer preserving, this gesture N? is qu? a help brought to Steve Cohen abused in a local primary election, a point of view shared by the media Politico [6]. It affirms not to include/understand the need for S? to excuse for a made “evil” of which the members of the Congress are of nothing aujourd? today responsible [7]. Problems of L? Does current America deserve a greater implication of members of Parliament qu? a “law” which will not solve the billion deficit. Perhaps will it be necessary qu? one day the Congress S? S excuses? to be not occupied true questions when it was needed, concludes it in a virulent leading article. Glenn Beck, a popular organizer of the famous right wing, S? offusque from this setting-with-death of the American democracy and jusqu goes? with saying that “the excuses of the Congress are an affront with the principles of Christendom” [8]. Certain Americans reacting on the sharp one were ironical about these “excuses” by affirming qu? they waited to see the “Black” S? to excuse in their turn for “the sale of drug, the rape, the homicides and other vicious acts” made since their “arrival” in America.


Beyond do the controversy carried out by the conservatives, the new “excuses” of the United States for one of its minorities go in the good direction in measurement where they recognize suffering qu? endured during centuries the community black and made repair of this injustice a kind of moral priority. Already this fundamental intention in the reconciliation of the people in this XXIe century when the shock of civilizations makes fear the worst, expresses, far from the quarrelsome policies of these recent years, the nobility and the American size.
