The slavery debt in the United States, has been paid in full for many years. Here is a partial list of the payments. The ante bellum abolitionist movement, coupled with the Underground Railroad. The carnage of the Civil War. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Nineteenth, and Twenty-fourth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The Constitution of the United States has been amended five times as reparation for the evil of slavery. That is almost 30% of the seventeen amendments added since the original ten. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88–352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964.) All these actions or laws were designed and executed by decent human beings to abolish the inhumanity inflicted on fellow humans. These actions are designed to ensure no human being in the United States will ever have to suffer such tribulation again. Slavery, abolished 156 years ago, has nothing to do with the so called “racism” that is currently in vogue. Admittedly there is senseless angst and hatred based on skin color. It continues because as human beings we allow it to continue. There is no logical reason “racism” should exist. It is an obsolete cultural relic. There is only one who is supreme. Put an end to diversity which groups people by insignificant labels. Replace diversity with teamwork, compassion, encouragement, understanding, and friendship. We are blessed in the United States, for all citizens have equal footing. Within the bounds of human decency everyone is free and encouraged to excel at their endeavors. In the end it is about character, all can decide their own destiny.
