They have that and more in some places already.
Try that bullshit and prepare for blood in the streets!
I have a better idea - lets start treating black people like adults instead of babies needing special care.
The 3/5 compromise REDUCED the representation of the slave states in Congress. Neither the slaves nor the women had a vote, but they were counted towards the state’s representation in Congress.
Great idea!!!
This willreally unite the country. /s
Why? They already vote three times.
A day.
In different precincts.
So mixed race kids get 3/5 of that 5/3 vote?
Author is an idiot. The 3/5 count thing was to give slave states LESS representation in the congress.
Do the math.
Whites = the new 3/5
To quote John McEnroe: “You can’t be serious!”
Yeah, the problem is going to be ... who is black?
Wait, wait I have more questions........
We can’t even overall get them off of welfare or government employment (make work).
Let them impress the world by stopping the whining and becoming long term tax PAYERS.
The “three-fifths of a person” clause was intended to HELP blacks, not to disrespect them. It was expressly intended to limit the increase in representation of Southern states, since they could import sufficient numbers of people to gain more seats in Congress in the next election simply by buying them. Only the insanity of liberals today (plus their total ignorance of history) can allow them to see this clause as an insult to blacks.
What if I’m only 25% black?
This guy can take the short bus to Hell!
As long as black Africans and Dominicans and Jamaicans want to immigrate here, forget reparations.
Blacks were never legally considered 3/5 of a person.
Slaves were - and only for the the purpose of calculating how many Congressional representatives a State would get.
At the federal level, blacks could be free (many were) and whites could be slaves (but there were few overseas markets selling white slaves, you could not enslave someone domestically, and all importation new slaves was shut off by that very same Constitution.
I thought that Blacks have had “voter reparations” There already have been quite a few Black Americans that have voted Dem from the grave.
This falsehood seems to be the left's version of "MLK Jr. was a card-carrying Republican" falsehood on the right. In both cases, they offer no "proof" of their falsehood but deliberately spread misinformation to promote whatever cause they have that week.
The truth is that "black people" were NEVER counted as "3/5ths of a person" in this country.
Rather, SLAVES were counted as 3/5ths of a person, for the purpose of PREVENTING slave owners from having too much clout in government. Slave owners gave their slaves no rights but wanted them counted as "persons" in the census solely to increase the slave owner's representation in Congress.
Free blacks, then and now, were always counted as 100% people.
