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.
Hahahahahahahhaaaa… yea, that’s going somewhere
Democrats dominated the south since 1860..Lincoln ,a Rep sent troops to free the blacks .Eisenhower ,a Rep sent troops to give rights to southern blacks.John Brown an abolitionist was a Republican..
Excuse me … a gentle reminder that all reparations were paid in full 1861-1865. Plus most blacks are happy to stay on the planation of government assistance.
They can use their Bill for toilet paper
Prove I owned slaves…
Nobody owes anyone anything. Patrick
No, I don’t owe anyone anything. You pay my rent? You support my$#%&!@* I don’t owe you ANYTHING!
You black democrats are doing more damage to the blacks in this country with this type of c**p. I like my black friends, but if they want me to cut them loose, just sign up for this.
Libs/DEM’s,. Pay up you fools are the only ones that have slaves to this day , they control their slaves with welfare, foodstamps, ,. Black communities don’t see libs for what they are ,. The only slave owners to this day,. Prove me wrong
Then I demand reparations from Buffalo soldiers who helped hunt and slaughter us native Americans almost to extinction! (I use ‘us native americans’ purposefully hoping they will realize how rediculous making demands on behalf of slaves is)
