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.
In the next 8 years there will not be any black people in congress because America is tired of your dumb$#%&!@*c**p .
IF I had ever owned a slave, I’d be happy to pay reparations to that slave (would he or I still be alive) but certainly not to his/her relatives who were not slaves. This is the most ludicrous thing they’ve ever come up with. I have some Indian blood in me….does that mean that the American government owes me for having killed my long lost relatives and taken their land…..I think not. This is ridiculous…and just one more example of the “you owe me” mentality. I’m not buying that idea.
ass wipes
demands don’t get your anythings
The best reparations are free tickets back to Africa for all the racist whining bastards!
F**k Off
F**k you you worthless$#%&!@*get off your$#%&!@*and work you fucking rats
Just being black does not entitle you to anything. I would be in favor of all blacks who believe they are entitled for being black get a one way ticket back to Africa only after they sign their citizenship away. Want happen because Africa will not give them welfare and free housing.
F-n idiots , one more reason I’m 100 % fed up !
I’m not paying
