The deliberate national penance that most Germans take for granted offers a striking contrast with the ways American have confronted their own national crimes.”
That’s a line from an article last month in The Atlantic. The article focuses on a supposedly sad divergence: while Germans have fully acknowledged their responsibility for the Holocaust and accepted their guilt, Americans have failed to do the same with their history of slavery and Jim Crow. The comparison is the kind of stretch that only a pampered, liberal, Ivy-League educated professor who has spent lots of time in Europe could make. In truth, there is little evidence in the Atlantic essay

When do the socialists and communists accept their guilt for the slaughter and starvation of millions in the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, Cuba and Venezuela?

I guess that affirmative action, black privilege and $23 Trillion in entitlements has meant nothing when it comes to atoning for something that ended over 150 years ago and that hundreds of thousands of Americans died to end.
Go ahead and feel guilty, leftists. I certainly don’t. Over the last 45 years, I have paid my “fair share” of those entitlements.

The whole thing is so dumb, I often wonder why people who believe this don't move to another country. Conversely, you wonder why people from everywhere else want to come here--and take enormous risks in the process. Why aren't American blacks flocking to Denmark or somewhere? None of this makes any sense, but neither does liberalism.

Division is the life’s blood of the democrat party. It gives it the power it craves because democrats would rather destroy the country to achieve their lust for power than to acknowledge that this country is not the evil monster they claim it is. A united country is a threat to their quest for control. They must creat divisions in order to conquer and they relish this strategy which says a lot about their character. It is just plain evil to embrace the democrat rhetoric on race. They consistently beat down, condescend and manipulate many blacks into buying into the victimhood they are selling. The smart ones are waking up to democratic betrayal. Scratch the hide of a democrat and you will find someone obsessed with race and many hold very racist views. Most policies they champion are based upon their perceived inferiority of certain groups. Instead of treating individuals as equals, they are treated like needy children which strips them of their dignity. The democrats obsessive need for division and chaos is indicative of an alarming lack of respect for the individual along with a compulsion to keep groups of people separated for pure political power. This is a disgusting and evil strategy.

My family arrived here from Europe as extremely hard-working immigrants, never had one welfare bum in our history and never abused blacks or indians. Our history is solid as productive, church-going families,we can cite many members who served and/or died in America's wars, including against the Nazis in Europe, and have never had a member in prison.
I absolve myself of any blame for the failures, hardships or injustices suffered by any other people in America's history. I reach out my hand in friendship to any and all but will just as quickly strike down those who would harm me or my family. Take your reparations, aid to illegal immigrants and coddling of criminals and drug addicts and firmly shove them.

I didn't know Kamala Harris was a black female she sure touts it with her 'good hair' as she calls it.
As a hated white male by the left let me say one thing in over my 70 years of life I have not ever known one white supremist nor was ever one myself. I never owned a slave or knew a slave and I have paid into the pot (taxes) for reparations so don't knock on my door for support or show of guilt with your hatred for me.

Progressive white guilt has reached a new level, no doubt about it. However, me guilty? No siree. My wife and I are quite aware of the fact that we have paid a pile of money in federal, state, and local taxes in our working lifetimes. And now in retirement, my wife and I are quite proud of now drawing our social security incomes and relatively inexpensive Medicare Part B that we both worked so hard for as working people. As part-time RVers, our getting 50 percent off at the national parks is a real nice perk, too. Have a nice day, lefties.

Socialists and communists need victims to hide behind, and to push to the forefront when challenged. Even the old Soviet Union used it own citizens as victims, while the elites lived very well. Socialism and communism doesn't do anything for it's supposed victims. They are just used, and some of them are gullible enough to believe they will be better off under the elites of the left.

The vast majority of the leftist and liberal Democrats who make such assertions about slavery and the post Civil War era, except Black folks, did not even have ancestors in the USA during those periods of American history. Ironically it was the Democrats who supported slavery and the post Civil War era so-called Jim Crow time that was completely abolished by the federal and state civil rights laws many decades ago. The Nazi holocaust cannot be honestly be compared to any American historical era.

Nope, I am not guilty. Never in my ancestry anyone owned a slave. Never been in welfare and paid entirely for the college of my children. No affirmative reparations for me, ever. I have black friends, you know. Hussein Obola or Kamela Harris never were American slaves yet have slavers in their ancestry. They should pay.

Though millions of ordinary Germans didn't support the nazis, they were forced in to compliance by the overwhelming violence and propaganda of the Brownshirts, the Gestapo, the leftist media. In the same way, many millions of Americans had nothing to do with slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow. We were not responsible and refuse to accept guilt for the actions of others.
This is the usual leftist and demoncrat MO. They constantly accuse others of the motivations and actions that they are guilty of. The Republican Party was created to fight against the institution of slavery, and they were successful, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of American lives. All because of the hatred and intransigence of the slave owning South. Once again, not the ordinary Americans of the South, but the rich plantation owning demoncrats, who would rather tear the country apart and destroy it rather then give up their power and riches. Nothing has changed. Evil, power mad and rich elites see a threat to their way of life and control over others, and are well on their way to beginning a new civil war.

Keep picking at that scab; soon the wound will become infected. Keep dumping the bacteria of hatred, envy, greed into the pustulated wound and soon you'll have flesh-eating bacteria, with no available healing balm. Only excision and amputation remain.
It's important to remember that not every citizen in the South owned slaves, or supported it. Many of those people lost EVERYTHING, including their lives. Many soldiers returned home to find their families slaughtered, their property seized.
In the aftermath of the Civil War the suffering of many continued and helped create an environment, a poisonous witches' brew stirred and stirred by Democrats TO THIS VERY DAY.
The people goading this hatred are evil.
