Sorry Nobama, but they didn't build that! Picked it. Helped harvest it, but slaves were primarily agricultural.

Ancestry.com says that long-ago, I had a negress as a great-grandmother. Can I get me some of those reparations?

The Yankee army destroyed almost anything of value in the seceded states how did slavery create much of the current wealth of the US?

[Chode]

but of course... what WAS i thinking?

Yes, our ancestors paid in blood and fire already. Can’t we move on? Or should we go back and take a close look at what all the Democrats did to make things worse?

Slavery stopped the south from industrializing and assisted with their defeat.

Our country is great IN SPITE of cheap labor - NOT because of it.

Every third world hellhole from Africa to North Korea has 'cheap labor'...

So, wait a minute, the same country that voted him in - the majority being white, let’s face it... But it was “white resentment” that prevented this yutz from riding that “wave of good will” through to getting reparations through?

Got it.

[Bull Snipe]

Wrong, 400,000 white boys died ending it. The other 300,000 died trying to keep it.

Why the hell didn’t the country give them the damn 4 acres and a cow. Had they done that, we’d not hear this nonsense.

No....we'd still be hearing about it.

No amount of money will ever be enough.

The original 40 acres would have been increased to 60, then 80, etc.

The obamas are racists.

Well then go pay them. Nobody’s stopping you. Donate another 40% of your take home pay to BLM
