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
Ain’t happening.
The only fair reparation would be to send them home since they were brought here and they aren’t happy here. I can’t think of any more fair reperation.
Agree exactly with Dennis Davenport comment.
I bet you wolnt see a single white person pay you$#%&!@*Gonna have a hard time with that one for sure.
Show ONE single living individual amongst these$#%&!@*clowns that was LEGALLY owned by another human being and I will forever silence any objection I have to reparations. Unless that person can be verified to be at least 153 (Emancipation Proclamation 1863) years old, these people need to shut the hell up.
