And slaves built the White House and the Capitol, and slavery somehow financed the building of Georgetown University, and Brown University, among others I’m sure.
So what? Why are we hearing so much in recent years, about slavery? Everyone who was ever a slave is dead and buried. Everyone who ever owned a slave, or profited from slavery, is long dead.
and in 1820 or thereabouts America GAVE the slaves freed in America an opportunity to repatriate.
Liberia West Africa was given to them with loads of cash each and every year.....
Their capital was called Monrovia after James Monroe, the president of the US of A at that time.
Who needs reparations? they were all given a Country to call their own, and look what they did to it! lol
They still had slavery there in 1999.
The story was written by a “white guilt” leftist. Period.
If a black slave did help to invent Jack Daniels whiskey, let’s give him credit for it. History is supposed to be “objective and truthful” so we have nothing to fear from the “truth”, even at this late date.
Now, in order to make this story into one of today’s Left’s “guilt trips”, let’s blame the slave for making a whiskey that made drunks out of his own people in the future. Well, that should level out things, shouldn’t it?
It is so easy to play the “blame game” esp. if you’re not willing to be part of it. We got ride of slavery in 1863/65. The British got rid of it earlier but in 1840 or so, took control of the opium trade from China.
Now look at heroin/opium addiction around the world, esp. in England. Let’s blame the “Daily Mail” and the people of England today for this continuing epidemic of addiction.
See! They are fair game for the turnabout game.
We demand reparations for our drug addicts.
And all this time I thought Brian Williams came up with the recipe.
And remember that after his fight in Africa the late Muhammad Ali spoke of being glad that his granddaddy got on that boat!
