You apparently think too much of money

only that every once in a while I wished I had some. LOL

Money is way down on my priority list.

establish a society wherein the sins of the past are fully acknowledged and where in response we work with those who have been harmed to give them the needed trust in their country so they can struggle for happiness like the rest of us.

and just how do you feel that the "sins of the past" have not been acknowledged in America? Because we have racists still? Well hello, wake up and smell the coffee, you will ALWAYS have racists. And besides, if you have indeed read your Bible, then you know that the sons are not to be held liable for the sins of the father.(or in our case, great great great grandfathers....

First you say we do not acknowledge it, then you say, "You just say stuff like "I know slavery was bad, ... no, I say slavery was horrible, there is no way I can imagine how a slave felt, no way. But to say I still owe a descendent of slaves something for that is not right IMO. As far as I can tell, African American has the same rights as I do today.

If at this point African Americans still remain broken BECAUSE of slavery, then I suggest either they insist on being broken, or that you have made cripples out of them in order to keep your control over them.

So...what do you want? What will ever satisfy the debt?

I suggest it CANNOT be satisfied.....EXCEPT by the forgiveness of the debt by the African American people. Only THEN can there be healing.
