Senate Wants To Apology for Slavery, but Doesn't Want to Provide Reparations.


The United States Senate finally wants to apologize for the inhuman capture and treatment of African slaves and the lawful, yet immoral racial injustice experienced by African-Americans, but is it too little too late? What will this acknowledgement prove? Do we not all comprehend Americana's treacherous, barbaric history to gain economic, political and world domination?

And what's up with the omission of reparations? This was part of the Reconstruction plan after the Civil War. Didn't General William Sherman promise, through the Special Field Orders, No 15, that freed slaves living in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida would receive "40 acres and a mule" on the steps of The First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia on January 16, 1865, well after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln?

I would prefer my land up front, so I can build my empire. They can keep the mule, I’ll take a tractor.
