Red Davis, governer of California, is out to make a name for himself. He is doing all he can to become America's great socialist leader. Look out DC! Red Davis is pushing for the presidency!

Now, there you go using logic again. The number of slaves does not matter when you're trying to buy votes!

Jackson, in an editorial board meeting at The Chronicle this week, said he would not expect reparations to be paid to individuals but to nonprofit groups,

In other words---to Jesse and his buddies.

I've no idea.

Not many I think. There were 22 slaves in New Mexico in 1860. The climate was seen as not being conducive to slave based economies.

HAHAHA, sure. Jesse must be talking to Red about statehood for DC and making him a senator for that new state. He tried that crap with Clinton, but after Billy Bob made it to the White House, he forgot about all those promises he made to Uncle Jesse.

This is asinine!!!!!!!!

Study before 1865? Um... why not care about the LIVING, not the dead from nearly 140 years ago? The ONLY ones punished in the scheme are the insured in higher premiums! And, of course, most insured are white which means... oh I see, nice race-bait scam going here because they wouldn't dare try to do this in any direct political route so they hope to go hide behind some judge and collect the votes on the other side.

And the coup de gras... the "reparations" would go to organizations like Jesse's Shakedown-Coalition *cough* Convenient. *cough*

How California Came to be Admitted. by Rockwell D. Hunt, Ph. D
As soon as the effect of the discovery of gold began to be felt, when citizens of all ranks became diggers for the yellow metal, the introduction of slaves would have been even more vigorously opposed, and in truth, would have been plainly intolerable. The editor of the Alta California, February 22, 1849, thus states the case:

“The majority—four-fifths, we believe—of the inhabitants of California are opposed to slavery. They believe it to be an evil and a wrong * * and while they would rigidly and faithfully protect the vested rights of the South, they deem it a high moral duty to prevent its extension and aid its extinction by every honorable means.” Walter Colton had a clear perception of the exact situation when, in the Constitutional Convention at Monterey, he affirmed:

“The causes which exclude slavery from California lie within a nutshell. All there are diggers, and free white diggers won’t dig with slaves. They know they must dig themselves; they have come out here for that purpose, and they won’t degrade their calling by associating it with slave labor. Self-preservation is the first law of nature. They have nothing to do with slavery in the abstract or as it exists in other communities * * they must themselves swing the pick, and they won’t swing it by the side of negro slaves. That is the upshot of the whole business.”

Alexander Buchner, in his Le Conquerant de la Californie, without hesitation affirms: “It was the gold of California that gave the fatal blow to the institution of slavery in the United States.”

I find the American Flag in the South as a reminder of the Union invasion and occupation of the South. I think I might have a case!

Jesse would say otherwise.

Which leads to the point of my question - What does Davis have to yap about?

NOTHING!
