Bishop Tutu's Dream: Where it's all headed, or been headed.

BLUF:
[Huffpoo] It's time for real truth and then reconciliation in America from the bottom up and top down. And it must begin with teaching truthfully American history. And while we can't just imitate South Africa's or Germany's or Rwanda's or other countries' processes we can learn from them in designing a process that fits America's history and context if we are to redeem our future for our children's sake. There are thoughtful beginnings with Brown University's examination of the slave trade's role in its history and Trinity Church Boston's and Trinity Church Providence's examination of their historic engagement with slavery.
Why I so love reading the Huffington. Good Multicultural dogma sprinkled with communist themes are so difficult to find these days. Wait, was that a redundancy ?
Perhaps other colleges, universities, churches, denominations and other prominent institutions which benefited from slavery and the slave trade should consider following their examples to set history straight. All of us would benefit from reading Ebony and Ivy by Craig Steven Wilder and supporting efforts by the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama led by Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy, to put up markers indicating where slave markets existed and documenting lynchings in our not very distant past.
Yes, that 'Y' in the road we are approaching in the intersection of 'culture war' and terrorism. Or was that the previous 'Y' we past an hour ago ?

#1 Yes, let's keep the hate alive. AmeriKKKa is a bad, bad, bad country, and communism is a good, good, good ideology that we need to implement quickly.

#3 All that's needed to derail this is a good class-action suit filed on behalf of those seeking reparations. Several hundred million will go to the lawyers, and the "reparations" for the class will consist of the usual $1.59 discount coupon for, I dunno, a payday check cashing location, perhaps...

Just a few more wrinkles to iron out in the utopian state.

[The Telegraph] G4S accused of 'torturing inmates to death' in South Africa Documents concerning deaths of inmates in South Africa’s Mangaung prison contain allegations that inmates were tortured before they died, while prison registered deaths as either natural causes or suicide.
