Not only has the U.S. gov. been complicit in its terrorism of african amer., it has never attemted to reimburse the slaves or their decendants; decendants who have been subjected to the same sentiments that started slavery and destruction of a peoples' culture, language and history. A sentiment that still today tells african amer. in school that their only history is that they were slaves, which in turn not only damages black children, but all children are left misguided and misinformed. Every U.S. student has heard of the Jewish holocaust, and stories from it, but how many (whatever their race) has heard of the african amer. holocaust? It would not be becuse it didn't happen, mabey becuase it happened here. In this country. Also remember the Japanese were given reparations for being forced into interment camps, this is not unprecedented.
America's conscience is far from clear.
