An apology, but no reparations?

The senate approved a resolution apologizing for slavery, but the resolution did not include reparations.
Is that enough? Should the black community be demanding more than an "I'm sorry for enslaving your people" resolution?
Or is it time to move past slavery and look toward the future and the problems that plague us today?

Stop wasting time, money, effort and valuable resources honoring slavery by resisting freedom. Stop naming your children after the European players in honor of chattel slavery.
Stop resisting freedom by resisting evolution. Stop perpetrating slavery with African American history month and false tributes and honors. Our slave ancestry deserves no such tribute. We were not captured in battle.
We dishonored ourselves by submitting to slavery without resistance. African Americans were dishonorably discharged from slavery. The European players dishonorably discharged us for cowardice conduct unbecoming any person with dignity or self-respect.
There are no reparations due African Americans in lieu of bravery, honor, self-respect and dignity.
Defined intelligence suggests… Forget about it.
