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.
Not a one of them we slaves, and never suffered!!!! If they want slavery they can go back home to Africa!!!
I’m not paying reparations. I don’t want to pay Welfare to to dead beats. Ppl should start thinking about supporting there selves. Get a job!
Only 5% of then population owned slaves the 95% didn’t & were against slavery. Stop hurting the blacks more by giving them handouts – they are probably the ones raised on welfare & have been paid back already with free food housing education medical
Well, then, we’ll just have to dig up all the dead slaves and give them their money.
HERE IT IS EAT UP!
Obama spent all their reparations on himself – what did he do for them but stir them up into more crime – he owes them – he wanted to represent them but what did he do for them?
I say that the dumbocrates should be paying reparations to the slaves. Oh wait, they are all dead. Damn it man, just when you think you got em on the ropes. LOL
F**k You!
Ask the Democratic party they created slavery
You can’t demand anything.
