I am pretty sure the family that bought this guy’s family is all dead and gone.
Holding people responsible for things that happened almost two hundred years ago is stupid.
I am all for holding people accountable for stuff they do. Being personally angry about slavery after all these years is a sign of mental disease.
He should be thanking them that he gets to live here.
Then greatest country in the world
That depends on your point of view.
The premise here is that these white people DESERVE to suffer because of a blood debt. Blood debt is a universal concept which was renounced in Northwest Europe and in settler societies derived from there a thousand years ago. It is SO unfamiliar to us that the fact that the actions of the tribe-and-clan peoples who live among us are almost invisible to us.
Our whole system of laws and justice is premised on the concept that every person is an individual, and that any bad done by that individual isn’t attributable to family, clan, or tribe.
The problem is that this system only worked for the people who invented it, and it is incomprehensible to people whose ancestors never practiced it, don’t understand it, and when they hear it explained find it absurd.
And as tribe-and-clan people rise as a percentage of the population in Europe, Australia, and North America the individualists are at a huge disadvantage. A tribalist alone in an individualist culture (Bonasera meeting Don Corleone) finds his world incomprehensible and defeating. But the presence of millions of them, picking off the individualists one-by-one, reveals the true strength of tribe-and-clan culture.
It’s one of the oldest and most successful forms of human organization.
When a rapper with an online catalog of hatred for white people and wishing death on them drives an SUV into a crowd of white grandmothers and small children, killing six and wounding 61, some permanently, why does the district attorney refuse to file hate crime charges because of lack of evidence? What did Darryl Brooks have to do? Name each child in a rap video before he killed them?
The tribe and clan people aren’t going away. But forms of social organization are going to need to change to accommodate their presence here and elsewhere if individualists plan on their posterity enjoying the blessings of Liberty, as promised by the Preamble. .
217 years ago, it became illegal to participate in the importation of slaves. The tracking down of the exact people who owned slaves, and tracing their families is a lot harder than it is portrayed. How dey no dey family name? Wuz dey birf certificants?
