Who owes what to whom?
The supply line of history rarely lies. If the ancestors of people who enslaved people owe reparations to the ancestors of those who were enslaved, then perhaps it is time for a “conversation” -- as the left likes to put it -- about paying reparations to the descendants of people who fought and died to help free enslaved people.
Someone ought to put the question to CNN’s Don Lemon -- who endlessly lectures about the moral necessity of paying reparations to the descendants of the enslaved -- even if the people who will be “asked’ (another term the left likes to use when the left means forced) to pay them not only had nothing to do with enslaving anyone but had ancestors who fought and died to free the enslaved.
Thus was Don Lemon schooled by Hilary Fordwich, an expert on the British Royal family, who was recently interview-attacked by Lemon following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. She had come to discuss the royal succession. Lemon invited her there to gaslight her about “slavery.”
But the gas lit up like a blowtorch in Lemon’s face.
“And then you have those who are asking for reparations,” Lemon began. “For colonialism… and they’re wondering, you know, a hundred billion dollars… twenty-four-billion dollars… (the reference here is to the wealth attributed to the royal family) some people want to be paid back… and members of the public (he means himself) are wondering, ‘why are we suffering when you are, when you have all of this vast wealth . .. those are legitimate concerns…”
This worked on Fordwich almost as “effectively” as the “vaccines” that failed to immunize anyone.

Maybe Hollyweird should make a movie about that.
Yeah right 😒
Use of the wheel in northern africa dates back 2000+ years BC. The entirety of sub-saharan africa did not adopt usage of the wheel until the 1860s.
RE: Maybe Hollyweird should make a movie about that.
Wasn’t this covered in the Mini-Series “ROOTS”?
My kin folk fought on the union side so.......check please!
Only 5% of all slaves brought to the Americas came to the US. The other 95% went to Central America South America and the Caribbean. Why do the blacks in those places never cry for reparations?
Answer: No liberals pushing their racist agenda.
I don’t see any outcry about the current slavery being practiced in the mooslim world....
Yeap, as a Spaniard at birth- I have thought the same for a long time. So glad someone had the guts to make this point
Yeah, this was a seminal moment.
But, I don’t think the slanderer from CNN let it sink in.
At all.
Mine as well. They alsoo participated in the underground railroad.
2 checks, please. 😉
your kin folk were compensated for their efforts. Union soldiers, their wives/widows & children were all paid pensions by the United States government. As recently as June 2021 one women was still drawing her father’s Civil War pension.
😕 Where do we file? 😊🙌
They’ve be glorified - haven’t you noticed the latest release

“ Historically, Dahomey was a kingdom that conquered other African states and enslaved their citizens to sell in the Atlantic slave trade, and most of the kingdom’s wealth was derived from slavery. The Agojie had a history of participating in slave raiding, and slavery in Dahomey persisted after the British Empire stopped Dahomey from continuing in the Atlantic slave trade.[47]
In the film’s setting of the 1820s, Nanisca confronts Ghezo about the immorality of selling Dahomey slaves to the Portuguese and suggests trading in palm oil production instead.[38] Nanisca being fictional, the confrontation did not take place”
And Spanish cultures continued to practice both slavery and Peonage (another form of slavery) long after your Civil War.
In fact, the last peonage slaves in the United States were freed in New Mexico in 1966 — the slaves were natives held by rich Spanish families.
are you a veteran of the Civil War?
All these people spending their mental energy trying to figure out who owes them what. If that time and energy was spent on how to provide a service or product to the rest of humanity, they would be a lot better off.
But they are all kings. Just ask aroung.
Every black person, and more specifically American blacks, owe Americans white people a huge thank you and probably $, without us, they’d be swatting flies from their lip plates while sitting in front of their mud huts stirring their pot of monkey brains.
We liberated black people and attempted to bring them into a civilized way of living they never would’ve come close to achieving without us.
