The problem is that the Romans are still trying to find some Etruscans to shakedown, pesky fellows are nowhere to be found.

Itll be some time, the English are still waiting on the Romans to cough up. They need better lawyers maybe.

reparations would have to be paid to bloodline of slaves, right?
Not African descendants that migrated here after slavery, right?
REAL African Americans (those that were born in Africa) would surely not be eligible. But there are very few REAL African-Americans... and some of them are caucasion.
Charlize Theron, for instance, should she be eligible? She is, afterall, African American.

This is on the same playing field as when Israel gives concessions to the Palestinians, they are never satisfied!!!
Now how about to repatriate those blacks, who complain, to the origin from where their ancestors came, that should solve that problem huh???

If they do that, they should give everyone reperations. All people fought and died for this country. Remember the civil war?

This “apology” was made a long time ago with the deaths of God knows how many Union soldiers.
What in hell is wrong with this damned Senate?

This is why we need to vote every incumbent, regardless of party or persuasion, out of office the first chance we get.

How can the U.S. Senate apologize for acts and institutions initiated by the British, French, Dutch and Spanish Crown Colonies?

How about passing a resolution promising to never talk about reparations or apologies again?

In all, around 360,000 Union soldiers died as a direct result of the war. The Confederacy lost 260,000.

So, if the Government DOES act on these ‘reparations’ and such... I’m thinking I would be very justified in saying “hell no” and putting my foot down; how many people in the US have owned slaves (even non-citizens)? Out of how many people total? And, let’s see... SLAVERY’S BEEN ILLEGAL FOR GENERATIONS!
When will we be rid of these thieves are acting under color of law/office...
