Local Virginia Lawmaker (Repuke) Tells Blacks To "Get Over" Slavery
Republican Frank Hargrove, a local Virginia legislator, said recently that Blacks should just "get over" slavery.

In an interview with The Daily Progress of Charlottesville, he was asked whether the state of Virginia should apologize to the descendents of slaves. He responded by saying that Blacks should "get over" slavery, and then he pontificated on whether Jews should apolgoize for killing Jesus Christ.

3. He said the Jews and not the Romans killed Christ?
Mel Gibson is his Bible history teacher?
