It’s “you’re “… :)
Faggot party at Mar-a-lago, no thanks.
Wailing Wall, don’t care.
Reparations, already overpaid by suffering these blacks on a daily basis.
For the record.
There is a silver lining — getting their asses out of Africa.
Tim is more boring than Jeb Bush.
He said he was stopped by the cops 6 times in one year. Could be true. I just don’t believe him so who’s going to call him on it?
Oh my.
He doesn’t admit it of course. He’s just a confirmed lifelong bachelor. But people talk.
I’m not a DeSantis fan by any means, but I highly doubt that Tim Scott even knows the full history of blacks in his own State of S.C.
I spent well over 10 years, thoroughly immersed in the history of black troops, both free and former slaves, that served in S.C. during the Civil War. During my several travels to S.C., walking the grounds they fought and died on, reading their papers and letters in private collections, and after spending many hours at the National Archives going through military and pension records, tracking down descendants, of both the white officers, and the black enlisted men, I never met one black person who was interested in their history. The other historians interested in these topics that I met along the way, many of them authors of books on the topic, were all white. That's why I highly doubt that Tim Scott has much knowledge on the black population that lived in S.C., or the black soldiers who fought and died in S.C., and are still buried there.
He should have learned his lesson after his appearance on "The View." The fact that he didn't tells me he's not very bright.
One line taken completely out of context. Do you really believe that the issue will be settled if that line is removed?
Consider the proposition that the critics of the Florida history standard tacitly hold to: that black slaves were incapable of acquiring useful skills that benefited them. Remarkably, that is essentially what many advocates of slavery claimed, that blacks held as slaves were an inferior and unequal type of human innately suited only to servitude, not freedom. Really, Senator, is that the side you want to be on?
Interesting family history, thanks for sharing it.
In the Carribean fields, Irish “indentured” and African slaves worked side by side. There was an object lesson in slavery vs “indentured servitude”.
In many ways Irish “indentured servants” were treated worse than slaves. Look at the economic incentives: a servant for a time is not an asset you can profit by taking care of and improving; he or she represents a prepaid expense. The incentive is to completely expend their strength by the end of the contract. And they did work and starve indentured servants to death.
And lets don’t kid ourselves, the English (especially then) hated the Irish. They weren’t trying to help them “get on their own feet”.
About seven million Irish survived the potato famine, one million of them by moving to America, a handful at best by moving to England. (My gr-gr-grandfather came in 1860, and he almost immediately joined the Army to fight to free the slaves.)
