Well I say those who are still complaining about their ancestors they never knew being forced to come here as slaves - how about we give you reparations in the form of free tickets to the African country of your choice and 1 year paid expenses in that country paid only if you never come back.
Of course the way the slaves were treated was disgusting but these people have made a business of using history to get money for themselves rather than just getting busy like everyone else who decided to not be a victim.
I wouldn't mind so much if it was REAL history...for openers, the GD slave trade started before America was America and was entrenched before the revolution...let em go after the freaking Brits...and if there were as many millions of slaves brought here by ship as they contend (at an average of a couple hundred per ship) the boasts would still be landing...and it ain't like it was a cake walk for the Irish, either...that line from Blazing Saddles was no joke..."but we won't take the Irish" was no shite...but I don't know any "Irish Americans" looking for a handout.
There is no place for the hyphen in our citizenship... We are a nation, not a hodge-podge of foreign nationalities. We are a people, and not a polyglot boarding house. - "The Square Deal"
They’ve already gotten their reparations by sucking the blood of taxpayers for decades while we can’t say a word about it or do a thing about it, not one damn dime more!!!!!!
