International Year for People of African Descent

2011 is the International Year for People of African Descent as declared by the UN and USA.Is this short of an apology for the inhuman slave in humans orchestrated by the US which went on for over two centuries? What does an International Year for People of African Descent really signify? Perhaps an end to economic slavery by most of African descent with the US & major European countries? A recognition of Africa and it's peoples as an equal economic power? A stop to the brain drain currently enjoyed by the US and Europe? But then again just like the abominable trade in humans: our leaders were at the helm of such a trade and continue to be so. Below is a video message from the US secretary of state to all peoples who fit into this category.
