Reparation opens can of worms

Well the theory of reparation is all good and well, but if you open a can of worms with reparation of the slaves, then when will it stop?

The slaves were not the first to be treated in an inhumane manner. The first, of course, are the true American, Native Americans born to the land were here for thousands of years prior to the Western European invasion. If reparation is what we find to be the right thing to do, then we must first look into the reparation of the Native American.

Then there are the Mexican Americans that were here prior to Western Europeans and were removed.

Of course, true reparation would be the exodus every Western European with no Native American heritage to leave this country. Well that’s not going to happen, let’s be realistic. We have had the culture in this land that it belongs to Anglo-Saxons of the Republican Party and not that of people of different cultures.

Time to change the culture. We are all human; it’s time to work together for that better tomorrow.
