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.
If there is anyone living from the time before slaves were freed (over 140 years ago), maybe we should consider it. Otherwise, this is a waste of time and money.
Like we need more vehicles with 24″ rims.
We demand reparations for generation after generation of living off the backs of hard working taxpayers then having the nerve to call us racists. It really burns my$#%&!@*how these people want something for nothing. What about native Americans, Irish, Jews. No other race is asking for anything. Because they have grown up and moved on. These people insist on living in the past and doing everything possible to avoid working. Before anyone days anything I do not mean all people of color are like this most work hard everyday like we do.
Here’s your reperations.$#%&!@*YOU
Oh just$#%&!@*off and die.
We gave it all to the illegals and Obama’s immigrants, go get it back from them
