Have some Irish heritage here too. Mixed with some European and those darn American Indians.

We don’t want the Irish! /Blazing Saddles

What a load.

Did slaves build the transcontinental railroads? NO.

Did slaves build our world leading steel industry NO.

Did slaves build the skyscrapers of New York? NO.

Did slaves build our auto industry? NO.

Did slaves build our oil and gas industries? NO.

Did John Deere and Cyrus McCormick employ slaves? NO.

Did slaves build our aviation industry? NO.

Did slaves build our health care industry? NO.

Did slaves build our shipbuilding industry? NO.

Did slaves build the electrical power grid? NO.

Did slaves build the Interstate Highway system? NO.

I wonder how many conditions the Halfrican would check off in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders if anybody ever did an honest appraisal.

Picking some cotton in a backward, rural corner of the country hundreds of years ago, built the wealth of the largest, most innovative and multi-faceted economic powerhouses the world has ever seen? Don’t make me laugh.

Slavery Reparations? We Already Tried Them And They Didn’t Work Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty was intended to raise up black Americans. Instead it benefitted bureaucrats and big unions.

FAR more wealth was built by Irish and German laborers and Chinese railroad line workers.

Instead of reparations, how about repatriations? That ought to make ‘em happy, unless they’re lying about hating it here.

Glad Obama is finally letting his Farrakhan grade racism and stupidity shine. Enough of his anti social personality.

FACTUALLY INCORRECT

The wealth of America was built on the backs of Americans.

Obama is a creator if illusion and he himself is an illusion.His real appearance :

As I recall, the Magna Carta (1215 AD) held that men were not responsible for their fathers “debts”.

Why is this worthless piece of Schiff still breathing?

Another poster said it right ... this country would be far better off if blacks had been left in Africa. By now they may have been able to build a real Wokanda (Wakanda, Wakandi ... who cares) ... or not.

My money is on ‘not’.

ya well after we tally the destruction of just about every major city across the land, some people would still owe us money no matter how many reparations they got!
