My ancestors came from Sweden and Czechoslovakia at the turn of the century.
Many Americans came well after the Emancipation Proclamation.
This idea is ridiculous.
Wow! What an amazing family history! Have you seen Ancestry.com? It is quite interesting.
We are on there.
Excellent post!
I did my family history last summer. My ancestors came here as indentured servants in the early 1700’s. Came over as “planters” and indentured for 7 years. Went on to be recognized as providing both financial support to the Continental army and 2 sons out of a regimen in Virginia. One later named his own son George Washington Bentley. Later the other son moved to Kentucky and his son’s, sons fought in the Civil War on the Union side.
Like your family, mine also has a very, very long history are military service and I agree, we owe nothing in reparations to anyone.
I highly suggest the UN Panel look to current day trade in human trafficking and the horrors of current day slavery taking place around the globe. From South America to the Chinese to the Middle East and out of Africa itself.
Human enslavement has been with world for thousands of years. Some races go on to overcome it and generations later find themselves again enslaved by some new overlord. America has come a long way away from slavery or ‘racial terrorism.’ Notice how they are changing the language again too, from slavery to ‘racial terrorism,’ so it includes groups like the KKK.
The UN needs to relocate to Lagos—not the fancy capital of Nigeria designed for the plutocrats—but the real Nigeria—Lagos.
Then we will be hearing less and less from them...

If I am 20% darker pigment, can I cash in 20%?
A lot of people today are enslaved to that EBT card.

I just watched the head of the NAACP blame the horrendous murder rate in Chicago on the Chicago police. Instead of being laughed derisively off the TV set Maria Bartiromo and company sat there listened to the Marxist, racist lunatic.
You’re white, you owe. Your money or your life. That’s where this country is going. Be prepared.
Central And South America along with the Caribean received 95% of those slaves .
How about reparations from Cuba, Mexico**, or other countries of Central & South America. It may be justifiable to exempt Black led countries like Jamaica or Haiti - but Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, and the rest never had even one Black President (like the US’s Obama).

My mother’s bloodline, mainly Irish, is what I am referring to. My father’s family mainly Scandinavian got here in the late 1700’s. No one in either side have served since I left active duty in 1981.
I only invest in precious metals, lead,copper, and brass.
I will gladly pay reparations to any slaves I have ever owned. I can be generous, I’ll pay reparations to any living slaves my Father or Grandfathers owned too. That will come to exactly $0.00. Done.
I'm convinced too - convinced that the UN should be thrown out of the US. If the world were a sane place, the UN should be dissolved. It has turned into an utterly useless body of fools.
Here it comes...
The final Executive Order designed to push Hillary over the top.
Paul Ryan I’m sure will block it....not.
‘eff the UN.
A waste of prime Manhattan real estate.
You are right, it us the hate mongers on the left that are provoking violence.

“..You are right, it us the hate mongers on the left that are provoking violence....”
