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.
Just say no
I must admit their really is no fixing stupidity!
I 100% agree … we should trace down the very first slave owner in America Anthony Johnson (a Black Man) decendants to present – calculate interest of all his family wealth all through the years and distribute it to every black snowflake little girl in the U.S.
I want reparations for having to put up with Obama said dumbass the last 8 yrs. Thank God it s almost over
Dear God have these people gone plum crazy. they were never slaves and we never owned them or any slaves. Nothing or nobody but God can change the past.
Very racist group, black caucus, wanting reparations for? You’re not slaves, time we close up shop. Let use your budget for needed serious projects.

How about reparations to white people who had nothing to do with something happening over 150 years ago and having to listen to these idiotic nonsense arguments presented by the trash of society?
