“Reparation is a broader term that refers to the act of making amends for a wrongdoing or injury.” – https://thecontentauthority.com/blog/restitution-vs-reparation
I didn’t come up with the idea of Reparations of White Americans paying Black Americans money for past wrongs done by our ancestors to their ancestors, but I would like to explore it. Slavery has always existed on earth. It did not start with the United States. It did not start around 1619 either. Who were pivotal in stopping it?
Two White Men.
An English White Man William Wilberforce spent 18 years fighting in British Parliament to end the slave trade in Britain in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. Wilberforce lived just long enough to see the end of slavery in Britain in 1833.
In the U.S., Abraham Lincoln, a White American Man, was against slavery. As President of the United States he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing many slaves, at the beginning of 1863 during the third year of the Civil War. White men and Black men fought in the Union army, of which a total of 360,222 Union Soldiers spilled their blood so that the Union would be preserved and so slaves – that they would never meet – could be freed.
Do the descendants of American slaves who were freed, acknowledge they have received something much more costly than Reparations’ money?
They have their freedom.
Bought, in the Largest Part, by the Blood of thousands upon thousands of American White Men.
(Reparation is actually a purposeful distraction to keep us from recognizing the communist takeover happening now in the United States. The open border, the wars, the censorship, etc. are the more urgent problems we must solve first).
