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.
It’s over, let it go. This is the kind of talk that keeps rekindling the race bait. I am sick of it, and that arises from our government makes me wonder what kind of people have been elected on that Hill, knock off your$#%&!@*and do the work you are being paid and entrusted to do.
get lost. My bloodline has Irish in it, and they were slaves before the blacks were. And the blacks were the first ones to take other blacks as slaves in the first place. So take your pacifier elsewhere
WHY NOT TELL THEM BACK FOR THE DAMAGE THEY HAVE CAUSED BY RIOTING STEALING WELFARE STC.
Go Away, you are talking to the Wall!!
Never work just keep looking for a handout for free! Disgusting Ghetto trash!
Find a slave I owned will gladly pay him
What about other groups like Native Americans who are very poor and their land was taken.
Not one red cent. I never owned a slave. And I will not be held accountable for something that happened in the way distant past.
I think that I should receive reparations from the US government because I immigrated here from Europe and have been a productive citizen. LOL since everyone else seems to get a handout, I might as well open my hands.
