Most of that is from the Autobiography of Frederick Douglass, the former slave. You know, the great orator who became friends with Abraham Lincoln?

The girl under the table story is from Alan Keyes' book, Masters of the Dream.

And the rest is common knowledge.

I don't deny that stuff ever happened, but what I want to know is, why do people living today need to be paid because it happened? I didn't do any of it, nor did anyone else currently living. Nor, has any of the living people today been victims of institutionalized slavery in this country.

Reparations for slavery is just another liberal handout, at everyone else's expense... Period.
