Biden Administration Supports Reparations Study As New Bill Is Introduced In Congress
The Political Insider ^ | Becky Noble

Posted on 02/18/2021 1:41:34 PM PST by TPIDerek

President Joe Biden’s 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 “we 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.”

for anyone looking for the truth:

“There are some educated racists who are at least aware of some of these facts. However, they are also quick to suggest that these Celts were merely “indentured servants” and that eventually, they revolted; demanding their freedom; which they were evidently just handed, and they were suddenly whisked into full acceptance of “white society” as equals. If anything is absurd, this idea would be it.

Let’s get technical for a moment. A slave is a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them. But in the context of this post, we are talking about the abuse element. So the first thing we have to understand is that the term “slavery” applies to any person who is bought and sold, chained and abused; and forced to do anything against their will. This is regardless of whether it was for a decade or even a lifetime.

But as even the New York Times has stated, many early settlers who were considered indentured servants were not servants at all. They died long before their indenture ended or found that no court would back them when their owners failed to deliver on promises. And many never achieved freedom or the American dream they were seeking.”

Even the liberal agenda driven NYT was at the very least honest enough about this issue to acknowledged the fact that indentured servants were DENIED their contracts and kept in slavery

Bob434: "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...."

That is the fourth time you've posted the exact same paragraphs, so obviously you believe that if you repeat your Big Lies often enough, they'll magically become true, right Herr Goebels?

My response to your repeated posts has not changed: what you here call "white slaves" is simply typical Democrat language corruption (i.e., now "equity" vs "equality") intended not for the sake of historical accuracy, but rather in order to extract more taxpayer money from government.
You have confessed as much yourself.

The actual historical reality which your lies refer to were prisoners and indentured servants, some of whom were indeed terribly abused, but not in the massive numbers you claim, in the United States.

Bob434: "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"

The gaslighter here is you, Bob434, pretending that historical records regarding prisoners & indentured servants prove they were treated the same as African slaves in the United States.

They weren't, far from it.

BOB434: "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... "

And yet again Bob434 confesses this has nothing to do with "historical accuracy" and everything to do with hopping onto the government gravy-train.
He wants his "reparations" checks and is willing to say anything to get them, just like any other Democrat.

It’s already happened. Black farmers will receive $5 billion of the stimulus package. All over the news.

Even Lindsey Graham says so.

Bob434 quoting: "A slave is a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.
But in the context of this post, we are talking about the abuse element.
So the first thing we have to understand is that the term “slavery” applies to any person who is bought and sold, chained and abused; and forced to do anything against their will.
This is regardless of whether it was for a decade or even a lifetime."

In colonial times European prisoners were often abused but in North America they were still a different category of "slaves" from Africans held in bondage.
For one thing, prison sentences were for a period of time, while African slavery was permanent and inherited.

Bob434 quoting: "But as even the New York Times has stated, many early settlers who were considered indentured servants were not servants at all.
They died long before their indenture ended or found that no court would back them when their owners failed to deliver on promises.
And many never achieved freedom or the American dream they were seeking."

In the 1600s average life expectancy of new settlers in colonial North America was just a few years, so many did not outlive their prison sentences or terms of indenture.
This did not make their "slavery" equivalent to that of Africans' permanent inherited bondage.

Bob434: "Even the liberal agenda driven NYT was at the very least honest enough about this issue to acknowledged the fact that indentured servants were DENIED their contracts and kept in slavery"

Sure, some were abused even beyond what was then considered "normal", it's one reason the practice was soon ended by the United States.
But there's no evidence -- none, zero, nada evidence -- suggesting that vast numbers of Europeans in the 13 North American colonies were held in permanent inherited bondage as were African captives.

That's a fact and none of your words even contradict it, much less prove otherwise.

I'm telling you again, Herr Goebbels, reposting your same exact lies over & over & over again does not make them magically true.

So knock it off.
