The most recent victories for reparations advocates came in June, when the Moravian Church and the Episcopal Church both apologized for owning slaves and promised to battle current racism.

Apologizing for past behavior is a long cry from writing checks to the millions of black Americans who were never slaves. Even the majority of liberals won't support cash reparations. Reparations is a pipe dream that will never happen and it would be in the best interest of black Americans to not even entertain the thought.

An apology is cheap. Making true reparations from a change in values is a lifetime effort for most people. The most meaningful form of reparations would be for the black community to start taking responsibility for its own destiny instead of palming it off to the white man by playing the eternal victim. Giving these people more cash won't get them off to a fresh start in life.

(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)
