There you go again....who said anything about reparations? or Trump, GOP or the rest of that rant?And how did I, a stranger on the internet, suddenly get to be radical? smh. As for that "historical refund"--are you aware that the British Crown did give reparations to slave owners when slavery was abolished by law? Things that make you go Hmmmm....

Do you know whose navy enforced Abolition from 1800ish on? Do you know which group of people developed the new idea of abolishing slavery? Do you know who resented it? Leaders of color from Africa to Arabia to Asia. Do you know how many slaves are still in Africa and other places, but not in the West? Do you know that horrific though slavery was, and wrong that 20th century racism was, it was just much the same worldwide.
See Henry Louis Gates History of Africa, and this.
There is just no argument, historical, practical, or moral, to continue acting as if the Atlantic Slave Trade was the only event in history we should be 'sorry' for.
Yes I do know And I never said a thing about the Atlantic Slave Trade. In fact my very first comment on the thoughtful opinion piece by Pastor Ken noted my disagreement with the idea that we should spend time being sorry, feeling bad or apologizing for history. Not to mention that the history discussed was not the Atlantic Slave Trade but Jim Crow and American caste. That the conversation ends up where you are now is more proof of why despair is logical. Sigh.

Read RothsteinтАЩs The Color of Law was your first comment. To which I replied. Good luck with everything.
