So he’s not exactly endorsing reparations for slavery, but supports setting up a commission to study the subject.
What the heck conclusion will such a commission come to? Is there any doubt that such a commission would endorse reparations for slavery?
And if we do reparations for slavery, what about others who have been exploited?
Descendents of Chinese laborers who were exploited in the American west?
Descendents of European immigrants who worked in coal mines and other heavy industry decades ago?
Descendents of homosexuals who were fired from jobs in the past because they were gay?
Pay reparations to all women, because of the feminist yarn that women get paid 70 cents on the dollar, so they have been discriminated against?
Reparations for Indian tribes?
The sins of slavery were paid in full by the death of both Union Soldiers and Confederate Soldiers. This death was greater than all our wars since. We had a fraction of the population then as today thus the death on a percentage basis was huge. THE DEBT HAS BEEN PAID!
It should be noted that the population of the USA in 1860 was about 31 million. Today we are about ten times more than that. Thus the death of the civil war was ten times greater than all our wars post civil war combined THE DEBT OF SLAVERY WAS PAID IN THE CIVIL WAR. IT WAS PAID IN FULL!
I'm having a hard time picturing descendants of gay people. Help me out. Morris Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzmorris can't biologically have kids, ergo, no descendants.
