“I often ask people who say Blacks shouldn’t get special treatment, but how many slaves volunteered to come to America and build it for free?”

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.

If they'd won the tribal war, they wouldn't have been sold by the winners.

I hope you jest in your question. If not, how many of present day white America was alive when slavery took place? How many blacks were sold into slavery by their very own black race? How many billions more dollars are we going to spend on people that simply do not want to help themselves (black and white).
