SBTS refuses request to pay reparations to black college over ties to slavery

I first was going to post this under 'Religion' but then decided it was really a news article. Glad the SBTS at Loiuisville gave thumbs down on what would become an endless blackmail scheme. However, reparations for the Amish is going to be a big deal and the rats will get behind it as soon as it gains traction. The whole 'white guilt, reparations and historical cleansing operation' is part of a bigger scheme to demoralize the white middle class and eventually either figuratively or literally ghettoize whitey. Reparations are nothing more than dhimmitude for white middle class Americans.

“I’m sad for folks who hear the word ‘reparations,’ w/o any specific proposal attached, who start exclaiming, ‘Blacks just want to steal whites’ money!’ It’s a retort that reveals possible idolization of mammon and willful blindness to 250 years of stealing Black ppl themselves,” Anyabwile argued in a series of tweets.

No thanks, my family already gave at Gettysburg.

Good to hear that someone has courage.

refused a request to transfer a “meaningful” portion of its financial wealth to a local historically black college as a form of reparation for the institution’s historic ties to slavery and racism.

Many years ago I was in the Peace Corps training to go to Afghanistan. Since Afghans were known to be partial to homosexuality we were given instruction on how to resist advances. (Yes, it was so long ago that homosexuality was considered a bad thing).

Anyway, after our role playing, the psychiatrist who was running the exercise, told us we had all missed the simplest and easiest way. Just say “no”. No expansion, just “no”. People have forgotten the power of the word.

Emotional blackmail is a standard liberal bullying tactic. You’re the evil meanie if you don’t do what they want, no matter what they want.

Glad they held the line. Hope they don’t fold.

Can we use some logic here?

Somebody stole some peoples' freedom; someone captured free people and made them into slaves. (I'll get to that "someone" later).

Down the line, others benefited from this theft by buying those slaves, firsthand or secondhand or thirdhand....

Further down the line, anyone who ever received any money from anyone who received any money from anyone who ..... received any money from a slave-holder or ex-slave-holder or descendant of an ex-slave-holder, can be deemed to be a beneficiary of slavery.

"King Cotton" of the antebellum era generated enormous profits using the stolen labor of slaves. Where did all those dollars go? They didn't disappear. They were recirculated into the economy of the US and with every nation the US South traded with. This "tainted money" is still with us today. Every US citizen of every race has "blood dollars" in their savings or invested in their possessions.

The US Government is by far the guiltiest beneficiary of slavery, by dint of the fact that over generations, they have taken trillions of dollars in taxes out of the pockets of descendants of slave-owners, and still do.

OK, let's pause for a moment.

Obviously, following this road of logic that the Race Baiters have charted, will lead to nowhere.

Therefore the only logic that really makes any sense is to place the burden of reparations completely on the people who originally changed free people into slaves (and the thieves' descendants).

The African Gold Coast nation of Benin, which was formerly called the Kingdom of Dahomey from 1600 to 1900, did by far the vast majority of the converting of free Africans into enslaved Africans. They used a good portion of their income from selling slaves, to buy advanced armaments to keep their armies stronger than their preyed-upon neighbors.

Thus, the nation of Benin today owes the lion's share of reparations to American descendants of slaves. Given Benin's current & projected GDP, I am proposing an easy-payment plan by which they should be able to pay off their debt in just 1.6348 billion years.

My parents both grew up during the 20s and 30s in Boston's Irish slum,South Boston...also known as "Southie".They were growing up long before black people arrived in Boston and the Irish were,*absolutely*,the n*****s of Boston.In fact,my father's older brother used to talk about routinely seeing signs saying "No Irish Need Apply" at many employment offices.

Do I want "reparations"? Nope! Do I *deserve* "reparations"? Nope!

Actually it leads to the underlying assumption of ‘reparations’ whitey is guilty, doesn't matter if you are an FFV or came here from Germany in 1960. What you well describe is a major part of what is described as ‘white privilege’. This is a powerful, toxic, and destructive theory and we all we hear more and more about it.

Following that train to its logical conclusion then means that in the inevitable race war, whitey needs to win it.

The black church has failed it’s people by not teaching this about slavery:

The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.” Matt. 18:21-22

Hard truth: even slavery and discrimination must be forgiven.

Pay the reparations as. $1000 cash and a 1 way first class ticket to the country of your choice as soon as you renounce your US citizenship and please never to return, otherwise piss off

[ladyjane]

Thousands of blacks owned slaves. Thousands of whites never owned slaves.

[fungoking]

I believe in reparations.

I believe that every former slave owner and their heirs should make payment to every living former slave.
