Language is our only means of communications yet it often spins reality. Human relations that term is clear at least to me. Race relations? First of all black and white are not the only races. As far as black and white friction over history first of all it has never been settled, I'm not sure it ever will be or can be. As far as friction, confrontation if we prefer, it has over the years risen and fallen. It is at the highest level I've seen i my lifetime. I am white. I have no white guilt. Truth I have no reason to be guilty-that simple.
For the rest of you. Reparations. Real historical reality. There is almost no group in the United States that could not demand reparations. The Indians? The Irish, many came over as indentured servants, slaves for 14 years. The apprenticeship system you were a slave for 7 years. The Chinese came over to build the railroads, many died doing that and then it was made illegal to employ them. The Japanese, were interred at the start of WWII. The blacks and slavery. We are indoctrinated how evil it was. Go figure there were blacks that owned slaves.
Reality, is far different and far more complex than the mindless hate that drives many.
