U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel
|
Quote:2008That is interesting. I had no idea that even happened, granted I didn't have a television and very limited internet access at the time. So why, when this apology happened, are people like Soild Snake and Rashean27Mathis and others asking for a formal apology? In the resolution it states, " And today we rectify that mistake. This is a symbolic resolution but hopefully it will begin a dialogue where people will open their hearts and their minds to the problems that face this country, from racism that exists in this country on both sides and which must end if we're to go forward as the country that we were created to be and which we are destined to be." Is it not good enough because it was symbolic as opposed to being made into a national holiday? Because there wasn't an immediate end to racism? Because there wasn't monetary reparations? I'm not being sarcastic here, I want to know. I had no idea this even happened and at the time this did happen I was living and working among the black community in Jacksonville and do not remember them saying a word about it. I wouldn't have needed TV or internet to know, they would have been talking about it. |
