Well, sure! And the French should be paying the Italians for Napoleon's invasion. And the Italians should be paying the Greeks for Mussolini's invasion. And the Greeks should be paying the Turks for Alexander's invasion. And the Turks should be paying the Armenians.
And on and on it goes.
A comparison deliberately intended to be inflammatory. The average number of lynchings during the period from 1865-1968 was about 40 a year, per the Tuskegee Institute.
By comparison, Boko Haram burned 2000 black Nigerians alive in one day last week.
The Old Testament (Torah) is full of stiff necked Hebrews turning away from God and being chastised back onto the narrow path.
The vast majority of slaveholders were Protestants. A small minority were Catholics. A handful were Jews. Most American Jews are descended from people who arrived in America after slavery was abolished.
Sounds like a dispatch from Al Jezeera.
I’m sorry, this article is self flagellation BULLSHIT !
Jeremiah 30:
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
The Mongols got as far as Eastern Europe in their campaigns. Mongolia owes reparations to Poland, Croatia, Ukraine, and several other countries.
No! Next stupid question.
What?
I stopped after reading that sentence.
Anything else in the article is likely hysteria, not fact.
Said it before and I’ll say it now......
If you walk this earth you are descended from both slaves
and slave masters. It is the nature of man.
Because the practice of slavery by white skinned man is
relatively recent in history and is well documented, the
dull and ignorant have had an opportunity to lay the
total sin of the practice at foot of the white man even
though it continues to this day by non whites.
though it continues
Many Jews, like everyone else in America have assimilated into mutts. Does the writer think this is 1900?
Anybody else notice anything peculiar about Benjamin’s
photograph? He is smiling. That is not something you
often see in pre-Twentieth Century photos.
How much do the Germans OWE the Jews for “reparations”???
Just wait till evolution takes the next step up and farm animals start suing farmers for reparations and the murder of their children.../s
It’s puzzling, to say the least.
I've researched Judah Benjamin in connection with a historical novel -- he's a fascinating character and was known as the "brains of the Confederacy". Most of the images I've seen of him show him with a slight smile.
That said, I don't see the point of the article in mentioning Benjamin at all. Yes, he was Jewish and was the Confederate Attorney General, Secretary of War and Secretary of State. Prior to that, he was a local New Orleans politician and attorney, then became a US Senator from Louisiana. Only for a very short time did he own any slaves -- he bought a sugar plantation, but promptly sold it when his wife was unhappy living there, missed the city life, took their daughter and moved to Paris, and he took up residence in Richmond, working long hours, essentially running the government when Jefferson Davis' health was poor.
I wonder if the author isn't envious of Benjamin's hard-earned success.
