involved in the atrocities of the Halucaust, put him on trial,and then execute him. would you also believe that black folks should forget about the horrors of slavery and let by gones be bygones.

well if you can dig up a slave master,reparation will do just fine,it will wash away a lot of guilt and level the playing field,as for the civil war black fought in it too ,sometimes without shoes and guns because they were still considered slaves.

There is a big difference between the slave trade and the Nazi regime, first of all don't take this the wrong way, nobody can condone the slave trade as it was absolutely atrocious and a crime to humanity in itself. But the Nazi regime attempted to wipe out an entire civilization,where as the slave trade didn't. The days of the slave are still with us in many countries, so maybe our Governments should be attempting to put a stop to that. And members of the regime are still alive and should be brought to justice.

The united states went into the south and killed every 20th white person.
That was the civil war.
It ended slavery. It punnished the slave owners.
A big part of the wealth of the south from the slavery was either spent on the war or burned by the northern army.
It happened 150 years ago, but go ahead and if you can find a still living slave owner put him/her on trial. But that person would have to be at least 170 now, because someone who was a 1 year old who owned slaves when they were declared free would not be convicted in a court case. The person would have had to have been an adult at the time of slavery.
I can't recall the last Nazi found in the US, but it has been a while. ALL of those in positions of real authority in Nazi Germany are long dead. There is not much left for the Nazi hunters to find.
PS some of my white ANCESTORS died fighting for the north to end slavery. How much do the Blacks owe me for that?

First of all, what does hunting Nazi officers have to do with slavery?
Americans aren't in the business of hunting down former Nazi officers. But if we were to possibly arrest one, the charges would not be filed by American courts, but probably European ones, since that is where the offenses took place. We would probably extradite the prisoner overseas. If Europe decided to execute that prisoner, I'm sure the US would not object.
The last Nazi the US dealt with was an alleged Ukrainian Nazi guard, and he was sent to Israel for trial.
As for slavery in the US....the United States was not the only country who ever engaged in slavery. Practically every country on the planet did it at one time in history or another. The US is not unique. We tend to want to put that dismal time in history to rest and move on. Why keep digging up old dirt and old wounds? Let them heal, and move on to better things.

While I'm sure even someone like yourself can deduce this fact, the obvious difference between prosecuting a Nazi who was actually involved in committing atrocities durring WWII and you hatred of Caucasians for the "horrors" of slavery is that the Nazi is being punished for acts he personally committed and no American Caucasian alive today has participated in the legal slave trade.
However, if you wish to hold Caucasians responsible for "slavery", a practice which was begun by and engaged in by fellow Africans, then it is only fair that all Africans be held responsible for the damage you perpetrated in your many riots both during the '60 and more recently in Los Angles.

you are mixing the distant past with very real present, I don't condone killing but I also do not believe these people should go unpunished. As far as the blacks are concerned I can't speak for them or their for fathers but If they believe in the bible you ask for forgiveness and let it g and try to make the world a better place to live for your kids and grand kids, how many us us have made mistake in our life that we wish we could change or wish we could make amends's for them? I was not there when slavery was here nor my father, yet I see what our government is doing to the average working stiff, turning him into a slave to the state no matter what the color of his or her skin.

Well it would be kind of hard to put the slave holders on trial now,although I am sure they appreciate your thoughts,but I am sure they have been in the ground buried for a long time now.
As well as most of the Nazi's involved with the Holocaust.

nazis themselves were responsible for the holocaust. would it be appropriate to find their grandchildren and execute them because of their grandfather's actions?? NO. And it's the same now.
For example, i'm a white guy. Does that make me responsible in any way for slavery? No. especially cuz my family wasn't in this country until the 1920s. See what i mean??

I don't think there is a statute of limitations on this crime. I hope not after the these men killed 63 Million people(included combatants).
Genocide must be stopped.
I think all the slave owners are dead.
