If I ever find myself in the company of a nut like this one having a fit about "reparations", I have just one question for him:
Why aren't you in Africa seeking "reparations"?
If his main argument is that slaves "made" America, why isn't Africa the modern technological wonder example for the world today?
Maybe, just maybe, having slaves here just slowed down the development of America, and perhaps continues to do so, if "modern" Africa is a yardstick to measure by.
Truth be told.
They should be grateful they weren't left on that backward continent. Don't see anyone chartering flights back there. They want to stay here and get some money the corrupt way. Actually only some want bad money. Most people are hard working good people.
They have it so good here until liberalism comes along to wreck it like everything else liberalism wrecks in the name of progress.
