LOL, saw a bumper sticker at a gun show many years ago similar to that. Thought about buying it but didn’t want the trouble it might create.

It will never, ever be enough. They’ll continue to ask for more and more in perpetuity.
What does the Biden admin care? They’ll fire up the money printing presses...

Not bashing your post, but the reality is the ancestors of most black Americans were here before cotton became much of a cash crop. The importation of slaves was banned in 1808—the earliest date allowable under the Constitution. The cotton gin, which made cotton a viable cash crop in the American South only occurred 10 years earlier.
