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.
DONT YOU GET ENOUGH OF TAX PAYERS MONEY?$#%&!@*HOLE.
Send this man to Africa. He will see after 6 months what he takes for granted
Well i had nothing to do with so i”ll pass on that ridiculous BS, But if they want reparation, they can start by getting on all fours and give my dog a rib job, that should be reparations enough i’d say. from me. 3:)

If Southern White cannot talk about or show pride in their History, Why should they?
I had relatives at Andersonville. I want compensation for their suffering and sacrifice.
If they going to give the blacks money because there great great great grand parents may have been slaves. What about all the Irish women that were sold for the pleasure of the black male slave. Maybe all the Irish people should demand our money also.

Actually slaves really had nothing to do with the civil war..freeing slaves was just a biproduct of the war!!
