Poimt well taken, I guess I personalize a tragedy to my own people as the only time this has happened in history. Unfortunately, it has happened far too often in history.

Another history lesson to serve.

I know what you mean. As a Chicano (a descendent of “indigenous Americans”), I shutter when people refer to the Nazi/Jewish Holocaust as “The” Holocaust; that works to suggest that there is only one human holocaust worthy of mention or recognition of pop culture.

This talk of reparations tends to be so silly.

As far as the Republican party and the NAACP, remember both parties, Democrat and Republican, have dirt on their hands as far as racism and civil rights go, but at least the RNC head is apologizing (however late that apology may have been).

It is turning things on its head, especially when you consider that the head of the Republican party recently went to the NAACP (where the Republican president always seems to have scheduling conflicts) to apologize for his parties half centuries old “Southern Strategy”, which intentionally sought to stoke the flames of racial hatred amongst white southern voters.
