It is astonishing to me to see the desire by so many on the left to entirely purge any touchstone that exists to our country's history before the outlawing of slavery. We've just seen the very start of elimination of flags, statues, names, and other items that fall on the wrong side of 2017 sensitivities. In fact, I believe that this process will continue until all offending images, symbols, and names have been purged from our national consciousness.
Once we're there, will we be in alignment? Will our world finally be made alright? Of course not. In fact, race relations will likely be far degraded from the sorry state in which we currently find ourselves.
But all offense has been removed. What now will balance the field and reconcile us for our sinful past?
One concept: reparations.
Indeed, the purge of our history won't be enough. We must atone for what our forefathers did, and the only way to do that is to pay up.
We're quickly moving toward a world made up of those that pay (or force others to pay) or those that are deemed racists. Two camps - two camps only. Kind of like now, but with a lot more at stake.
Buckle up.
