“The colonies that became the United States accounted for, at most, 3 percent of the abominable international slave trade”
I wonder why demands for reparations aren’t made of the British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and particularly the Arabs. As for America, the Democrats supported slavery and segregation, and so they should pay the reparations.
In an ideal world, the Democrat Party would be forced, by law, to pay for reparations out of their own coffers.
Far more of the work was done by immigrants and indentured servants than by African slaves. African slaves were too valuable for much of the hard work. In the age of steamboats on the Mississippi, for example, only Irish and German immigrants were asked to work in the holds. The steamboats were always blowing up and no one wanted to risk valuable property that they owned.
Over 20,000 Irish immigrants perished building the levee and canal system of New Orleans. A man we know of wanted to put up a memorial to them and so proposed to one of the chocolate mayors of chocolate city but, since it was a Celtic cross. The mayor was greatly offended and refused. But it did go up and is there today after the man explained to the mayor that it was really a phallic cross.

Because the British, French, Spanish, and Portuguese don’t have any money. The arabs would tell them to go mate with a camel.
