I have mixed feelings about Johnson. He has also said he wants reparations payments. My ancestors all came here AFTER the Civil War, none ever owned or condoned slaves or slavery. There was such abhorrence of slavery in this country 160 years ago that those who opposed it banded together and took the reins of power in America from those who supported slavery. And when those same supporters seceded from the Union we fought a bloody war to end slavery and did so.We have provided program after program to raise up the downtrodden since then and still do.
A hand up most certainly. But never a hand out.
