So, can we stop pointing the finger elsewhere. Accept that it was bad. And move on.

No.

The facts, the history must be known, must become part of the public discussion.

There are way too many ignorant people in this country as a result of suggestions like yours.

Part of acknowledging the past evils of slavery, is acknowledging the entire scope of the issue.

This is one arrow in the quiver to knock down the reparation's b.s. talk, the whites are the only racists b.s. talk, and on and on.

I don’t need to knock down reparations talk. That will never happen.

The fact that we are STILL fighting the civil war after 120 years is a testament to the fact that many southerners bought into the Lost Cause bull crap.

You lost. Slavery is bad. Blacks are people with equal rights and protections under the law. Everyone gets the same rights, no one gets special rights.

Now stop pining over the thought of owning negroes and pull yourself into the 21st century.

Well put-

[[This is one arrow in the quiver to knock down the reparation’s b.s. talk,]]

Exactly- some however want to suppress the info i guess so that white folks don’t have any chance of combating the reparations nonsense-

over 600,000 White folks died to free the black slaves- that is reparations enough- IF black folks want to pursue money- let them get it from liberals who opposed freeing them from slavery- republicans voted 100% to free them, democrats barely 1/3 voted for it
