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.
democrats get a life and read and study your history that is not taught in schools any more and find out who done away with slavery
He is full of it! Africans still have slaves ! Go after them!
Freeloaders wanting more free stuff.Not happening.
Pay the families of the 640,000 men that were killed freeing them or was that a mistake ???
Ain’t gonna happen!
The Civil War has been over for 152 years. It is the Confederate Government that you need to address your concerns. However, more than 300,000 Union soldiers died to free your ancestors asses by destroying the Confederate government so I’d say the debt is paid in full. P.S. Need money? Then tell your people to get a job and quit depending on the government for a hand out. Thank President Lincoln for his hard work!
YAWN.
Not till Israel gets reparations from Egypt.
Excellent point
…please…no reparations needed they’re already getting entitlements…
