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.
Look, idiots. There isn’t one person left in this country that had anything to do with slavery. Get over it and quit trying to get money because you’re to darn lazy to work. Too damn bad there isn’t a cure for stupidity…….
Are these people crazy? What about the American Indian? None of us had the right to gather them up and March them to white controlled reservations. Many died on the trail of tears, many died from starvation, others were beaten to death. So stop this insanity?
Why don’t they give all black people rolls-royce’s too! Nothing the Democrats want will pass now.
Not even worth a comment fool

Blacks wanting free stuff. That’s it.
First things first! Make them pay for the property lost to innocent shopkeepers during all the unneeded riots going back to the 60’s including the Rodney king fiasco, and all the Obomanations “undocumented shopping sprees”, deduct it from their welfare checks, and once that bill is paid, then only will I throw them a dime! Also, first they must get some schooling on actually who the first slave owners were. They already are getting “reparations” and are too ignorant to realize it! Wake up, look in the mirror, and you will see who the problem is. Sorry, but “Black Lies Do Not Matter”!
