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 IS CALLED WELFARE, N***A
I want reparations for being taxed to support liberals.
This has got to be a joke. Right?
Are all the elected democrates a bunch of stupid idiots ???
Does that mean the families of all the soldiers that lost their lives “freeing” these slaves from those nasty ol’ democrat masters can now sue the descendants of said slaves, such as those composing the black caucus for reparations and WRONGFUL DEATH??
Bark like a dog.
Would you people get over this please….I never owned a slave….no one in my family ever owned a slave….you’ve never been a sl a ve……slavery never hurt you as much as you own attitudes!!!!#!!
Me too!!!!!
There are a lot of blacks that have gotten a lot of free money already. None of them were ever a slave nor were their parents. Slavery was only in the south and not everyone there had slaves. Let the Clintons pay them, they are from the south and have a lot of money that they say is for charity.
We white Republicans demand reparation for freeing black slaves….pay-up or we will let the Democrates make you there slaves again….suckers…..
