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.
This is b******t! First of all the entire white race in this country didn’t own slaves or endorse slavery. It those white ppl who fought & died to free the slaves & bring slavery to an end in this country. Btw it was the biggest loss of white life in any war our country has engaged in. Slavery only actually existed in this country for 87 years … 1776~1863. Don’t buy the b******t of 245 years in north America. Our country declared its independence in 1776. Furthermore there isn’t any black alive in this country that was a slave in this country. As the confederate flag has disappeared in this country so should the slavery issue which was all a part of it. This is just another hand out to keep blacks depressed by black democraps. I won’t pay a dime to it. I never own a slave.

Pay me my ancestors were indians and I have never received a damn dime . Shall I tell you what this country did to them . I tell you what find the people that owned the slaves and the legislators that passed the laws that made it lawful to own slaves and sue them . I never owned a slave and neither did any of my relatives going back as far as 600 years . What makes you think it is OK to tax all non Black citizens to pay for what a few did many years ago ?
