I'm shark bait white, in 1960s Beach Boys Southern California, I could only burn red. My 17th century Irish ancestors, were told by foreign landlords, 'Just take your brats and GET', out on the road, to starve; we went to the wrong Church. My Grandmother's restaurant in 1920s Gulf Shores Alabama was boycotted by the Klan for feeding and paying Blacks the same as Whites.
There’s no evidence this man was actually a Trump supporter. I don’t think most mentally disabled people care much about politics at all. The thugs are just using Trump as an excuse to attack any white people.
The slaveowners I see today are mostly black, brown, Muslim or Asian
They’re just called pimps and madams and traffickers
My ancestors were WAAAY too poor to own slaves.
Same here. And they lived in the South.
> My ancestors were WAAAY too poor to own slaves.
Ditto !!!
When I was a grad student at Ohio State, I had a meeting in Page Hall about 3 hours before all hell broke loose on campus in response to the Kent State shooting. As I was entering the door, a black guy grabbed me from behind and, before I even had a clue what was happening, he threw me down the steps yelling: “That’s for making me a slave for 200 years!” I looked at him and said: “You hide your age well.” whereupon I got up and started walking up the stairs...again. By then, a crowd had formed and he turned and ran away. Evidently, each is still celebrating their birthdays over 150 years later. Whatever happened to that death-and-taxes thing?
I don’t know anyone who owns slaves and I don’t know anyone who picks cotton
econjack - yeaaayyy!
My ancestors were slaves in Africa (Egypt, specifically).
I want my reparations from Africans.
My Dad is a descendant of a Union veteran so how about a thank you and acknowledgment white people are the ones who ended American slavery?!

= = = = = = = = = =
Likewise.
Guess an indentured servant is a ‘fancy’ word for slave.
ANYONE whose ancestors were here when it was called slavery, indentured, or whatever they want to call it, has been here long enough to be called American -
BY BOTH SIDES
It is pitiful we have this newer class of freeloaders foisted upon us that we get to pay for when we haven’t yet gotten over having to pay for the freeloaders that were already here.
Saw some 60ish looking woman that was either being hassled by ‘newbies’ or just being ‘hassled’ and she said something to the effect of ‘I have lived in this same apartment/house since I can remember’ (Close).
Of course it was Public housing....
-veteran obviously long gone
My brother is special needs, you would have to talk with him for a while before it became obvious. His IQ is just below the threshold for mental retardation. He also has learned to mimic well as a survival/coping mechanism.
He was a Trump supporter-heard politics discussed in the autobidy shop where he works so picked up their views; again a great mimic to fit in there, at church and with our parents.
You may be right about them making up an excuse, but mentally disabled people do have opinions regarding politics, religion, etc.
I’ve researched both sides of the tree back into th 1500’s on one side and early 1800’s on the other. No slave holdings at all.
Even some Whites that have a slave holding ancestry cannot be held accountable in a sane world. One cannot be held accountable for a something an ancestor did that is now criminal today. It’s lunacy.
But really, this is not relevant. Few if any American white people have ever owned slaves. And, few if any American born black people have ever been slaves. No punishable crime has been committed based on today’s law.
It is racist to get non-slave holding Whites to pay non-slave Blacks anything based on race alone. PEROD!!!!!!!!!!!!
We missed CWII by electing Trump. Thank God.
My Irish ancestors were persecuted by my English ancestors. I write myself a check every once in awhile.
My Granddaddy WAS a sharecropper cotton farmer. My dad picked cotton by hand.
Yes, we are White, of English/Scottish descent.
Only one of my white ancestors ever owned a slave. My ancestor was a riverboat gambler who won a slave in a poker game. Twenty minutes after leaving the boat, the slave was freed. He and my 5x great-uncle then traveled throughout the South for twenty-two years until they helped another slave, a woman, escape. The three of them fled North, where Jacob, the Freedman and the woman married. My uncle remained friends with them until his death.
Blacks just can’t seem to get off the Democrat party plantation porch.
How about a simple "thank you" for what my ancestors did?
