The anarchists (of whatever stripe) in America and the Western world are now trying to rewrite history by destroying all the statues and monuments (including defacing the Monument of the Unknown Soldier), wherever they are located. And the cowardly, feckless, self-serving Western politicians are simply standing by with their mouths open, and doing absolutely nothing.
Even the Founding Fathers of America have been attacked, while Congress, the Senate, the Presidency, and the Judiciary have all stood by and watched the savages perpetrate their savagery and vandalism. The next thing to be trampled underfoot and burned to the ground will be the American flag (wherever it flies) as well as the Constitution. The enemies of America (who are legion) must be simply laughing their heads off. But they must also be noting that Americans now HATE America – the land of the free and the home of the brave.
The cold, hard fact is that history cannot be rewritten. Every country in the world was either a conqueror or the conquered, and it went back and forth. And there is absolutely no ethnic group which has not been racist.
Blacks in the past have been racist against other blacks as seen in the Rwandan genocide: “During the Rwandan genocide of 1994, members of the Hutu ethnic majority in the east-central African nation of Rwanda murdered as many as 800,000 people, mostly of the Tutsi minority. .. By the time the Tutsi-led Rwandese Patriotic Front gained control of the country through a military offensive in early July, hundreds of thousands of Rwandans were dead and 2 million refugees (mainly Hutus) fled Rwanda, exacerbating what had already become a full-blown humanitarian crisis.” Both ethnic groups slaughtered each other. The Hutus were black and so were the Tutsis. That did not stop the savages from killing and torturing each other.
So any talk about reparations would have to go all the way back to Cain and Abel. There is not a single country (not even the Native Americans or Indians) in which people were not either killing or enslaving others, or being killed and enslaved. And actually reparations for American blacks have been made generously over the last sixty years, and the dollar value would be in the billions (either through Affirmative Action or other social and education programs), But as the say goes “You give an inch, and they want a yard”.
However, America was founded on the principles that all men are equal, and that there would be liberty and justice for all. No other country was founded on these principles, but there is no question that administration after administration betrayed those principles. And almost all politicians after the Founding Fathers were simply self-serving rascals. But the principles are enshrined in the Constitution, and it simply takes guts to implement them.
However, between 1964 and 2020, blacks in America had made tremendous progress and were being accepted as equals throughout the land. The Senate noted this progress as shown below:
Black activists, scholars, and social commentators have raised awareness about the importance of diversity and shaped the national conversation around race and inequality. There has been a proliferation of Black writers, screenwriters, artists, poets, athletes and musicians who have become superstars in their respective fields. And the 21st century saw the election of the first Black American, Barack Obama, as president of the United States.
Millions of Black Americans also have benefited from the opportunities created by the de jure end of Jim Crow, entering the middle class for the first time, earning undergraduate and advanced degrees, receiving higher wages, achieving professional success and raising children who will build on their achievements. Leading indicators of economic prosperity and other measures of well-being also have trended upward for most of this period, with increased life expectancy, increased household incomes and substantial gains in educational attainment."

Only fools believe that Radical Leftist policies, anarchy, rioting, looting, vandalism, defacement of statutes, monuments, and buildings, will achieve anything (other than hatred for the perpetrators). Yet no one seems to be stepping up, taking charge, quelling the riots, and re-establishing law and order.

"The Economic State of Black America in 2020
Over the past half-century, Black Americans have made substantial social and economic progress, gaining political rights that long had been denied to them, entering professions from which they had been blocked and largely overcoming centuries of overt racism and oppression. While there were only five Black Members of Congress when the Civil Rights Act became law in 1964, there currently are 56 Black Members of Congress, including 12% of the House of Representatives.Black activists, scholars, and social commentators have raised awareness about the importance of diversity and shaped the national conversation around race and inequality. There has been a proliferation of Black writers, screenwriters, artists, poets, athletes and musicians who have become superstars in their respective fields. And the 21st century saw the election of the first Black American, Barack Obama, as president of the United States.
