Damage to blacks today is most certainly not coming from memories of past slavery. I believe blacks have more opportunity and are happier than in past times. Cant believe all the screaming attention hogs
I’ll chip in for a roll of duct tape for the congressclown’s mouth.
Having traveled in Africa I can guarantee that there are enough people there who would *gladly* trade places with American blacks.And,having done so,they’d work hard...obey the rules...stay out of prison and off of drugs...and would be clear assets to this country.
Lee ... LEE?
Shouldn’t that name be BANNED?
I will personally apologize and pay reparations to each of the persons whom I held as slaves.
My granddad had a pecan orchard on the Flint River in Georgia. He had black employees, not slaves. Their benefits included pecans and all the squirrels they could take. The operation was all a big family.
So there.
She loves that word de-facto. She uses it in every opportunity when she opens her pie hole.
I’m going out and getting married to a black woman right away. Anchor spouse to government payouts over slavery. Nice.
Shouldn't you seek the damages from the person that sold the slave? In today's society, we don't punish the casual drug user, we punish the drug suppliers.
As long as they STFU and leave never to come back.
My family were serfs and had to sneak out of their country to get here in the 1830s. They lived in Iowa. Most people do not know that over 70% of the men between 14 and 40 died in the civil war. Iowa had no slaves, my ancestors in Europe also had no slaves. Four of my great,great grandfathers brother died and he lost an arm.
What did they get, a chance for their descendants to become second class spit on citizens.
Count me in if it’s a 1-way ticket to the African nation of choice.
Uh, question.
Haven’t we been paying reparations since the mid-1960s, with Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty, the longest war in American history, that endless quagmire with no light at the end of the tunnel?
Further enslave white taxpayers in the name of slavery reparations. How cheap, mean, miserly, parsimonious, close-fisted, penny-pinching, cheeseparing, grasping....
I’m Irish! Where’s my Barbary pirate check?
Get the first ‘allotment’ fro the African Chieftains to brought them to the shores of Africa and sold them to the slavers - ..Then give them a ticket to the African bush and have some time there - and ask themselves:” Would I like to be living here or am I thankful my ancestors were brought to America?
“Three ancestors. Three. Served in the Union Army.”
In the context of this thread I have to ask: were they fighting to “free the slaves?”
