It doesn’t matter. She’s never gonna shut up anyway.
“1619 Project” is a thing, whitey! lol
Karma’s a bitch.
She pay the same amount as me...not a damn dime.
Wow, reality beats the Babylon Bee.
Evidently, she is half white, ~48.5% by DNA.
“recently discovered she is also the ancestor of colonizers and slave owners”
I think the tweeter meant “descendent” not ancestor. Unless Davis’ kids or grandkids are up to some shady business.
For those unfamiliar with the case, SHE bought the guns to use in this Marin County Court breakout!

The FBI had her nailed but then they screwed up the case and she walked.
A Communist dairy farmer in California posted bail for her. LIFE magazine carried a big spread about him at the time. when he received death threats he bought himself an AR-15 for protection. Page 73 “Parting Shots” of this issue with Brando on the cover.
The irony is, the USA’s major social, cultural and certainly Government institutions are all “woke” and neo-Marxist now - so she really does represent “the establishment.”
No.
There were Brownists (or Separatists) and Anglicans on the Mayflower.
No Puritans.
This is something that people keep getting wrong in history and I am going to keep correcting it because it actually matters.
Puritans were mostly nobility and gentry and they wished to "purify" the Church of England.
Separatist were just what they sound like. They did not give two hoots or a holler about the Church of England. They had their own beliefs and wanted to go their own way. They were mostly Yeomen and Craftsmen.
So... crackers like Maya Angelou were making black Americans feel unsafe in Stamps, Arkansas?
Pay up, cracker!
I think the best moral argument for reparations is this: think of slaves and their descendants as the abused and disinherited children of the American family, for four generations and a hundred years after the end of slavery. That someone like Davis has white ancestry doesn’t mean much unless she somehow inherited her ancestor’s wealth and position.
Nearly all whites were poor also until the twentieth century, but they did have the social status to benefit from the growing economy, and could enter the middle class. Blacks were hindered in this until the 1960s (yes some did benefit from good factory jobs earlier). The window for a comfortable working class life began to close in the 1970s and 1980s, with offshoring and mass immigration, so black families had much less time to benefit from economic uplift.
Against that argument is the pragmatic: welfare and dependency have wrecked the black family, and reparation windfalls won’t help. Accumulated wealth depends on stable families.
At some point the only way to overcome the effects of abuse is to refuse the effects abuse and to break the cycle.
