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.
Idiots
they will come nearer taking my guns than my money, and they cant get those, so while I have my guns they damn sure wont get my money.
Then the Democrat party should pay any monies due….They should study real history not the liberal c**p….The KKK was a terrorist arm of the Democrat party, Before the civil war the DEMOCRATS were the slave holders and those that wanted and instituted slavery., It was their good buddy Woodrow Wilson who segregated the military and the post office…….Margret Sanger created PLANNED PARENT HOOD TO BREED OUT THE BLACKS,,,how about making them pay for all the black children they aborted???? It’s a shame this country has such racist, ignorant$#%&!@*holes in congress. The least the dumb bastards could do is at least watch the MOVIE- Hillary’s America…..they would learn, which they don’t want to anyway, some truths that the democrats,,, the freaken democrats have changed in the history taught in the public schools…The brainwashed graduates of these schools are the useful idiots that vote this c**p into office. DUH !
And I hope they know where they can stick it
get serious. slavery was abolished over a 100 years ago. get over it.
DEMAND! U WANT MONEY for what DONT DESERVE. Why u were never a slave, we were never slave owners. 150 years later, give me a dam break.
Hurry up with those term limits.
Oh good. It’s about time the Irish get noticed.
Blacks think they were the only ones under slavery. How is everyone going to prove their family were slaves? This is just a giveaway for blacks only. It’s nothing but a joke. Everyone is supposed to give up things for the poor black folks. What the hell are they willing to give up and start changing? The United States needs to work on really important things this country it needs and stop playing games with this c**p. It’s not going to change anything like changing the flags and other changes made for the blacks. It’s nothing but a power game.
GET THE MONEY FROM ODUMBASS***HE WAS A SSLAVE
