U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel

I will never know the issues people of color face because I am not one, but don't tell me I don't care or don't sympathize about the person. Like Winger said, I care about the individual, not their race (meaning the color of their skin). I don't care what color you are, if you're kind to me I will be kind to you. If you're not, I won't go out of my way to be mean, but I most likely won't think of you at all.


As others have pointed out, a black man has sat in the seat of the White House for 8 years. I find it curious that he never worked on getting a formal government apology for the slave issue this country had. An apology so many want.


I understand your view better now. The repatriation idea is not very smart, every nation on earth owes reparations to one group or another if you go back in history.
