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.

No way they need to pay us for putting up with them.
Send them to Africa with on way ticket.
I am speechless…..how do they think this is owed to them? Most races have been slaves at one time….are we going to pay everyone. If you want money get off your backside and earn it!
Go to hell not a dime black people were the first slave owners in the first place collect from them
no
nope.
Not one of them have ever known or been a slave and not one of them ever owned a slave. That was the past, it was wrong, but it was not only the white race that had slaves.Wonder why they don’t mention this. Maybe someone needs to do a genealogical research on each one that is supporting this legislation and see if they themselves had someone in their family line that might have had slaves ——-then they ought to be the first ones to have to pay up by law. That would end this malarkey. Check obama’s past first, and hold him accountable for the results.
Shove those reparations up your AS- !!! Get jobs like everyone else in this Country. NOBODY owes you anything, you lazy bastards.
Go f*** yourself old man is not going to happen
