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.
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the$#%&!@*race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the$#%&!@*to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” – Booker T. Washington
I was eaten by a cannibal I’m not paying a dime .
Israel NEVER leaves ANYTHING IN THE PAST you asshole
My relatives where not even here back then so I refuse to pay
This clown thinks this is his way of “doing something” for “his people”. He seems to have forgotten that there were BLACK slave owners during the Civil War. I wonder how many in the black community are going to pay these so-called reparations. My guess, none !
Ignore this moron. Just another liberal clown trying to act important.
AFTER All $$ for Welfare, Food Stamps, Section 8, & Low Cost Medical for the past 50+YEARS is returned!!!!
