Some nonsense about General Sherman, which he did not promise anyone.

No one promised them anything.

There is a long of persons who have suffered injustices. They can get in line with them if they want.

Its a long wait.

This is a conversation mainly among blacks themselves and those bleeding heart liberals who persist in pandering to the general notion that blacks will always suffer from racism. Most people hear their plaints and think “fat chance”.

No one with the authority to do so promised them anything, frankly. The crux of the matter is that even if by some stretch of the imagination reparations were paid to them, the collective whining racist-baiters would STILL clamor for something.

There is a saying. It goes like this. “The slave dreams not of being free, but of being master.”

What promised reparations?

No, I can't say what I really think.

War on poverty? War on drugs? Great Society? Food stamps? EBT Cards? WIC & CSFP? SNAP? EITC? TANF? LIHEAP? HUD Section 8?

[tanknetter]

What promised reparations?

My share has been paid.

In full.

And in blood.

I have relatives (including Abolitionists) who were spread out in various Pennsylvania regiments, some of whom were with Strong Vincent on Little Round Top.
