We will and we must about that be committed.
Bring on reparations so that we can get CW-II over.
This will not stand.
Period.
Truth hurts.
Whining about slavery may make one feel good, but it accomplishes nothing productive.
Small quibble: Two grandsons of President Tyler were alive in 2018. So there could easily be grandchildren of slaves alive. There could even be the living child of a slave: someone born in 1930 to a man born in slavery in 1865.
He’s right. It’s 150 years ago

Should have picked our own damned cotton.
Racists are people who are obsessed with race and identify everyone by race first and foremost.
Do you see where this is heading, Jonny?
Who all pulled ads?
Want to know where not to spend my money.
Victimhood is a never ending meal-ticket.
It’s not about slavery to the current black population.
It’s about using it to their advantage. Black slavery may be gone, but, remaining the permanent victims serves them well.
I noticed historians have revised the count of the dead from the Civil War from 620,000 to 750,000, a number that does not take into account the thousands of Southern civilian killed by Union troops and the entire devastation of the South that was literally felt for the next one hundred years.
Do Southern whites who did not own slaves, the majority, get reparations?
Mr. Levine, what about whites who suffered under serfdom and those who were brought to the US as indentured servants?
And I would bet the ancestors of a huge majority of non-black Americans never owned a slave.
Let’s give the white racist, Jon Levine who wrote the article, a spear and a loincloth, to go rescue the blacks in Africa who are still slaves today.
Go get ‘em, soy boy.
And I would bet the ancestors of a huge majority of non-black Americans never owned a slave.
remembering one’s ancestors’ historical experiences is normal and proper
unfortunately, the ‘remedies’ of massive (lifetime) welfare payments and ‘affirmative action’ in schools, employment, and promotions... have all done great harm, imho, to black people (and of course to American society...).. and made so many of them dependent on ‘whitey’ .. its just like we turned our entire country into one big giant-sized plantation... instead of liberating black people, we’ve managed to re-enslave so many of them.. all over again..enslaved to “whitey’s” free welfare payments, enslaved to asking for, or demanding, special preferences based solely on their skin color and without any regard to merit, .. again, we’ve reduced black people to blacks, period....as they are.. and as they sometimes ask or demand to be.. judged and treated solely or primarily on racist grounds.. and no other
all this has, most regrettably, only made for much more racial animosity.. than ever existed (at least, than I ever saw) before...
The Romans enlslaved quite a few people. There would be some in the U.S that are prob decended from those slaves. See how far you get getting any reperations from the Italian government
