Enough with this nonsense.
“No white man alive in America today ever owned a slave and no black man alive in America today ever picked cotton.”
**************
Well, I’m a white man and I’ve picked cotton. And, I’ve pulled bolls as well. Even had my own little bag. But, I doubt there’s many of us left. I’m 78 yrs old and my grandparents had a small farm. And, my mom and I lived on it while my dad was fighting in that Kor’ean War. Anyway, during the early 50’s lots of small farmers still hand picked their cotton. Neighbors will pool their labor and help each other come picking time. But anyway, thinking I’m due some reparations too, lol 😂…
Should there be reparations for victims of affirmative action? There are lots of people alive who could make claims.
“… and no black man alive in America today ever picked cotton.”
You need to qualify that phrase.
My neighbor across the street picked cotton as a child and used a mule to plow the fields. He’s in his 70s.
