President Joe Bidenâs administration is lending support to a study of reparations for African-Americans, with the effort part of new Democratic legislation to create a commission on the controversial issue.
The Associated press reported on Wednesday that a House panel heard testimony on a bill to create the commission that would examine the history of slavery in the U.S. and offer solutions, like reparations.
According to Reuters, Biden stated last year that âwe must acknowledge that there can be no realization of the American dream without grappling with the original sin of slavery, and the centuries-long campaign of violence, fear, and trauma wrought upon Black people in this country.â

Doesn’t u derstznd what gaslignting means
Sad.
Oh and spare me the complaints about insults. You were the one who started the crap by calling me racist, another typical leftist tactic. When losing, pull out the “racism card”
[[And in the mean time you’ve produced not one word of historical evidence to support your ridiculous claims]]
Can’t help it if you don’t know how to read and accept facts. Evidence was presented and you came up with ridiculous “explanations “ in an attempt to gaslight the facts. Hate to keep using the word, but there really is no other explanation for what you did through the whole thread. I explained that several times, you still don’t get it I guess
[[It’s all just insults]]
Cry me a 4iver. You took it down that road 4ight from the beginning practically. I asked you to grow up, but you kept right on, so spare me the sentiments.
Noone is demeaning anyone, except your side is demeaning what the white slaves had to endure by denying it ever happened like the historical records say it did. This isn’t a “one or the other, but not both at the same time” scenario. What BOTH slave groups went through was horrendous. Your liberal site over and over attack the character of the historians by spouting this idiotic lie.. the authors themselves even stated explicitly that they were NOT diminishing what the African Americans went through,, they were just pointing out a forgotten history that is being buried by the agenda driven left who can’t have and “competition to their “only black Americans were tortured as slaves” nonsense. So stop with the liberal lies.
you go from “The claim that there were irish slaves is a myth” to “There weren’t that many” To “There is zero zip nada evidence of what you are talking about” to now saying “There is zero evidence, zip zero nada of white irish children inheriting slavery” without even so much as reading the books. You’re mind is made up that they must be lying, spreading a myth- and your goalposts are constantly changing to support your ever evolving claims in the face of the cited facts- now it appears in order to be factual that there were white irish slaves in America, their children had to be enslaved for multiple generations? That’s the new goalpost now?
It’s really like trying to have a discussion with a science denier- no matter how much evidence you give them, their minds are made up, and they keep yelling “Nuh Uh”

And that is just a small sample. It is a lie to keep repeating that there is no Evidence that whites were enslaved too.

And yet, in all that nonsense you've posted not a single word supporting your ridiculous claims about alleged "white slavery" in British NA colonies, much less in the United States.
And yet, in all that nonsense you've posted not a single word supporting your ridiculous claims about alleged "white slavery" in British NA colonies, much less in the United States.
Right, and there it is, explicitly stated by Bob434 himself, no need for me to interpret his words: he thinks alleged descendants of alleged "white slaves" should get reparations too, and that's what all his nonsense, all his gaslighting, smoke blowing BS cockamamie gobbledygook is all about.
He wants money and he's willing to say anything to get it.
Typical Democrat.
None of the documents Bob434 refers to support his claims that massive numbers of "white slaves" were held in perpetual inherited bondage equivalent to that of African slaves.
Bob434: "This thread, that j9oek and the left have a political agenda which dictates they must gaslight and deny white slavery ever existed is true
Keep spin ing joek, again, your denials and ridiculous “explanations” to dismiss the facts are amusing"
Real history recognizes both prisoners and indentured servants shipped to Britain's 13 North American colonies, both practices soon ended by the United States.
Bob434's fake history equates these prisoners & indentured servants to African slavery -- perpetual inherited chattel bondage, when nothing in real history supports such claims.
And Bob434 knows his case is fake as a three dollar bill, which is why he just keeps blasting away with endless nonsense & BS insults.
He can already see that reparations money directed at him, and he's not happy if anyone stands in the way.
Sad
More lies.
Bob434 is here to propagandize racist lies about "white slavery" but his purpose is not necessarily "racist", he just wants more government money directed at him.
If he has to lie about his ancestors, it's no big deal, he's just a Democrat and that's what Democrats by their natures do.
And yet, in all that nonsense you've posted not a single word supporting your ridiculous claims about alleged "white slavery" in British NA colonies, much less in the United States.
The real historical record fully supports prisoners and indentured servants shipped to Britain's 13 North American colonies.
It does not support your ridiculous claims that those were the equivalent of African slaves shipped to both the colonies and the United States.
Bob434: "This isn’t a “one or the other, but not both at the same time” scenario.
What BOTH slave groups went through was horrendous."
Sure, but in no way comparable.
You can use poetic license to call white prisoners "slaves", or you can use political hyperbole to call white indentured servants "slaves", but they were not kept in perpetual inherited chattel bondage equivalent to African slaves.
And none of your endless insults & gaslighting can change that.
Bob434: "Your liberal site over and over attack the character of the historians by spouting this idiotic lie.. the authors themselves even stated explicitly that they were NOT diminishing what the African Americans went through,, they were just pointing out a forgotten history that is being buried by the agenda driven left who can’t have and “competition to their “only black Americans were tortured as slaves” nonsense.
So stop with the liberal lies."
Sorry, but all the lies are coming from Bob434, and by your own confession for the political purpose of winning some "reparations" money -- that's what this is all about, not correcting a historical record that supposedly overlooked the prisoners and indentured servants sent to Britain's 13 North American colonies.
Bob434: "you go from “The claim that there were irish slaves is a myth” to “There weren’t that many” To “There is zero zip nada evidence of what you are talking about” to now saying “There is zero evidence, zip zero nada of white irish children inheriting slavery” without even so much as reading the books. "
You know what else I don't study?
I don't watch any of the "Ancient Aliens", "UFO" or similar TV shows because I know they are pure unadulterated cockamamie nonsense.
I also don't watch Leftist news propaganda like CNN, MSNBC & the like.
If you rot your brain with such garbage, you soon won't know the difference between reality & fantasy -- meaning you'll be a typical Democrat.
Bottom line: prisoners & indentured servants are not disputed.
Your claims that these were equivalent to African slaves are pure nonsense.
Bob434: "You’re mind is made up that they must be lying, spreading a myth- and your goalposts are constantly changing to support your ever evolving claims in the face of the cited facts- now it appears in order to be factual that there were white irish slaves in America, their children had to be enslaved for multiple generations?
That’s the new goalpost now?"
No, in fact, my views have not changed because you've provided no facts -- not one -- to contradict them.
My "goalpost" is exactly where it always was: what you hyperbolically call "white slaves" were not treated the same as African slaves in perpetual inherited chattel bondage.
The numbers prove it: by 1776 the USA had about half a million permanent African slaves and about 50,000 temporary white indentured servants.
White indentured servitude was outlawed in the early 1800s, without a civil war, while abolishing African slavery cost the lives of roughly 700,000 young American soldiers, not to mention other destruction.
Bob434: "t’s really like trying to have a discussion with a science denier- no matter how much evidence you give them, their minds are made up, and they keep yelling “Nuh Uh”"
But you've provided only gaslighting, no evidence, not a word of it to support your outrageous claims that "white slaves" were the equivalent to African slaves.
Bob434 quoting: "Drawing on letters crying for help, diaries, and court and government archives, Don Jordan and Michael Walsh demonstrate that the brutalities usually associated with black slavery alone were perpetrated on whites throughout British rule. "
Sure, certainly on prisoners and sometimes on indentured servants, especially in the 1600s, it was a very brutal age.
But the descendants of none of those prisoners or indentured servants were still "white slaves" 100 years later, much less 200 years later as was the case with African slaves.
Bob434 quoting: "another 300,000 were sold as slaves.
But that’s over 50% of their entire people.”
“In the Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series; America and West Indies of 1701, we read of a protest over the “encouragement to the spiriting away of Englishmen without their consent and selling them for slaves,”"
No actual historian supports your "300,000 sold as slaves" in Britain's 13 North American colonies.
As for kidnappings, they certainly happened, though not in the numbers you claim and never in the US into permanent inherited chattel bondage equivalent to African slaves in North America.
Bob434 quoting: "” John Pory declared in 1619, “white slaves are our principle wealth.”"
Right, notice the year 1619!
A time of very small numbers (hundreds, not thousands) of European settlers in North America, when average life expectancy here was only a few years so that most servants did not outlive their sentence or indenture.
Bob434 quoting: "People from the British Isles were kidnapped, put in chains and crammed into ships that transported hundreds of them at a time.
Their destination was Virginia Boston, New York, Barbados and the West Indies.
The white slaves were treated the same or worse than the black slave.
The white slave did not fetch a good price at the auction blocks.
Bridenbaugh wrote in his accounting on page 118, that having paid a bigger price for the Negro, the planters treated the black better than they did their “Christian” white servant.
Even the Negroes recognized this and did not hesitate to show their contempt for those white men who, they could see, were worse off than themselves."
Those words refer to many prisoners & some indentured servants.
But unlike African slaves, in the US none were kept in perpetual inherited chattel bondage.
Bob434: "And that is just a small sample.
It is a lie to keep repeating that there is no Evidence that whites were enslaved too.
Your liberal lies fly in the face of eyewitness testimonies and even court records, diary records, government records, government claim,s slave testominies, slave owner testominies etc etc etc"
Your lie here, Bob434, is to claim without evidence, that European prisoners and indentured servants were treated equivalent to African slaves in permanent inherited chattel bondage in the USA and therefore deserve a share of government "reparations" money.

What happened 175 years ago does not apply to today. I’ll be damned if I ever have to support that racist BS.
[[ Your lie here, Bob434, is to claim without evidence, that European prisoners and indentured servants were treated equivalent to African slaves]]
Here we go again With the “I know you are but what am i?”. Give it a rest
There is evidence, keep claiming thereisnt though, it’s amusing.the only one lying is you. The gaslighter, trying to convince the world that the records don’t mean what they mean
Exactly, and they have already been paid plenty of reparations. And the left squawk when you pojnt out to them that if they are gonna give reparations to African Americans for the tortures their ancestors had to endure, then you must also give it to descendents of white slaves because they endured just as much, if not more brutality, than the typical African American did because the white slaves were much cheaper to buy.
The left can’t stand the fact that there were other victims of the slave trades, nor the fact that there were numerous black slave owners and slave traders. They try to bury that part of history because it doesn’t fit their “all white people are racists” agenda
[[I also don’t watch Leftist news propaganda like CNN, MSNBC & the like.]]
AHAHAHA! now I’ve heard everything! You sir sound just like them and use their same tactics, as pointed out several times I. This thread. All you links were to liberal propaganda sites too
“Don’t watch leftist propadanda” lol, got any more funny jokes? That one’s a whopper!
Keep on gaslighting like a good little liberal agenda driven fella. Fro here on out You don’t rate any more answers but copy and paste to refute your contuing nonsense. The historical records fromgovernors, slave owners,, slaves,, townsfolk, slave traders,, kings etc are there for anyone to see, and your “nuh uhs” won’t ever change that
