I know I'll never win this argument here on FR. But I just don't see it that way.
Slavery was wrong. The demand for Reparations is wrong.
Trying to seek some resolution in between is not. A apology costs us nothing.
Flame away.
Agreed, on both points.

Vehemently disagree.
I would ask, why is Allen doing this now? If he thinks it to be such a noble and warranted action why didn't he propose it last year? Five years ago? Or when he first became a U.S. senator? Or when he was the governor of Virginia, the state that had the preponderance of slaves?
Don't you find it even the least suspicious that he proposes this immediately after the silly report of his wearing a Rebel pin as a high schooler?
He is not going to get the black vote any way, and I'll tell you another thing, most blacks couldn't care less if the Confederate flag is displayed or not.
Senator Allen is too good of a representative, and a man, to be cowering like this.
Flame away.
Sorry Mr. Stormhands, for that to occur you would first have to gain my disrespect. A very unlikely likelihood.
