The United States has made many mistakes in our history and we can not undo the damage caused by our ancestors, but we can acknowledge their mistakes.
In 1988 President Ronald Reagan acknowledges and apologized for the internment of the Japanese during World War II and President Bill Clinton acknowledged the theft of the Hawaiian Islands.
No President has ever officially apoligized for the government's participation in the massacres at Wounded Knee and Sand Creek. The government has never publicly apologized for demolition of the city of Greeenwood, Oklahoma or Rosewodd,Florida.
We can not punish our deceased ancestors for their crimes, but we can acknowledge that they were guilty of horrensous crimes against humanity
The first step in the healing process is to stop ignoring our racist past Only then can we learn from the our racist past and prevent similar atrocities in the future.
Every state has failed to prptect and defend the rights of minorities and has allowed the individuals responsible to go unpunished
Tens od thousands of black men, women and children have been murdered and countless homes have neen torched by racist mobs and until we own the past can we insure a brighter futue.
Our founding fathers unrterstood that men in positions of power aught not trusted and that being ruled by the will of a majority was just as dangerous.
By creating a bicameral legislature our founders protected the small states from legislation that would benefit the large states at their expense.
The purpose of the senate was to prevent the majority in the House of Representatives from passing legislation that was harmful to the people in the small states.
When the 17th Amendment was fraudulently ratified in 1913 the senate lost ability to prevent the abuse of power by the majority of representatives from the large states.In 1913 our bicamerial legislature was repalced with a unicameral legislatire with two houses representing the majority and no house to represent the onterests of the states.
The nearly 10,000,000 people living in Los Angeles County could not survive without the nearly 2 billion gallons of water supplied annually by the other 56 counties in California.
Without the water supplied from other counties. Los Angeles would become a ghost town.
Because L A County controls the state legislature the residents of the other counties have virtually no say ,
When all of the counties were represented in the Califirnia State Legislatire they had a voice, but when the Supreme Court ruled that the state's practice of equally representing the counties was unconstitutional the counties lost their voice.
The two U.S. Senators don't represent the people of the entire state, they represent the people of LA County.
