Every nation has stains on its history, the recollection of which should be reason for a bit of humility. Tragically, much of human history is a record of wars and violence. We’re reminded of this just by how quickly we recall the major wars of the past or periods of persecution whenever we take a look at history. It’s a very unpleasant, but no less real, part of who we are.
It is for this reason, that sincere work at making peace and fostering reconciliation among peoples is typically held in high regard. It might even have been part of the motivation for the creation of organizations such as the League of Nations and the UN, although both institutions have not only failed miserably at fostering peace, but the UN has been co-opted by those who would impose a one-world government, and turned into a monstrosity that should be abolished. That it has turned into a vehicle for bashing the US can be seen in its recent demand that the US government make reparation to those the UN alleges are the victims of “police lynchings.”
Slavery has been practiced by nations and cultures for millennia, and tragically became part of America until the mid 1860s. Equally sad is the fact that we still contented with the aftermath of slavery 150 years after its abolition. That healing is desirable should be obvious. But demanding reparations isn’t part of the solution despite the views of at least one Congressman as he once again introduces legislation relating to this. More on page two.
I demand compensation,I was raised without a father figure,at home,how much stupid,it could get,they are the ones ,preventing to stop the racism once for all,according to these legislations ,being passed on generation after generation,what a shame.
On come on! Does that include YOU too, you idiot? I owe no one nothing. I worked all my life for my money..if these people want money, they can work for it too. None of them have ever known a slave nor been related to one. That was over 150 years ago, for God;’s sake. Shut up and do something about your ghettos and the black crime rate in the cities you are from.
Well you crazy idiots. When you all get your first check get ready to pass it on to me and my folks. The thing is that when the Muslims invaded north Africa and those Africans joined Islam they then went on to southern Spain and invaded it and those invaders were called Moors. Well these Moors attacked and killed my people and enslaved my ancestors and held them enslaved for 500 years until my ancestors finally kicked the Moors sorry butts out of Spain and so much for Allah. So you all Africans OWE ME. And by the way, my skin is so white you can see my blue veins through it. Oh and by the way again, I have grandchildren who are of African origin and I love them to no end and would give my life for them in an instant if needed. I also have a grand daughter who is of Asian ancestry and I feel the same way toward her. You see the way it works, I firmly believe and was brought up believing as Martin Luther King believed that you judge a person by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin but I also add to that the teachings of Jesus the Christ who taught goodness in your heart and not evilness which the Democratic party has adopted. So sad that many in the community of Washington DC have sold their souls to the devil and can only think of money and power and themselves. So sad and selfish but remember that the EVIL people always pay through their children and sometimes through their grandchildren but they don’t think about that because they only think about their selfish selves.
forget it! not a dime for something my ancestors had no part in!!
I’m not going to pay for something I didn’t do, and give it to people who aren’t/weren’t slaves.
We have been paying them for decades! It’s time the black population pays the whites back.
hahhhahhahahahahahahahaha—asswipe—I got it here between my legs—–come and get it
Sure and give the Cherokee’s back Florida and Georgia…..
Silly baboons!
