I Am On the Light Side of History - and U - English Apologize 4 Slave Profits

It is better to ask JESUS what ought I to do, say, write ... than be in the SOUP of History. HEADLINES: 8 hours ago: UK Banks and Church apologize for Slavery - WHY NOW? Because BLACK LIVES MATTER. And you thought tjust "law and order" to make more dough. 'Former Bank of England governors and directors profited from slavery, as did a bishop and dozens of other clergymen. The Bank said it would ensure that images of former governors who were involved in the slave trade are not displayed in its buildings. The Church described its history as a "source of shame". "Slavery and exploitation have no place in society," a Church spokeswoman said.' SOURCE: YOUR INTERNET NEWS shalom, shalom (God or Mammon, it is your call)! amen

Has not every nation inflicted atrocities since the done of time ? And how about sex trafficing of young boys & girls and babies. Me, I'm scotch/irish & norwegian. Anyways yes the people you write about up there have blood on their soul.

Brother Anil...nice!...topics are being discussed, this is good, solutions (social justice) however, should be cautious to not repress in kind, instead, building peace and love, not division and violence...

Hi Anil, So many are now finding their conscience. It is hopeful. Let's hope it is more than cosmetic. Thanks! Shalom! Shalom! :-)
