Didn’t I see you spray painting BLM over the Ft Lee sign the other day?
No, have never been near Fort Lee.
Bkmk
🙃
Nope. Not related to me.
Ms Lee is a professional Black. That is, she makes her living being Black.
Before it is passed, there must be amendments to decrease reparations in direct proportion to the quantity of white genes introduced into the pure African strains
OK, all the Irish, Dutch, Germanic and whatever other country our indentured servants (read: slaves) came from, we, as their descendants, want our share.
Shirley Jackson Lee can sit down and shut up, the racist.
‘Face
;o]
Here is my apology: FU.
Ben Franklin’s warning comes true
Democrats are just setting the stage got 2024. They are getting rid of Biden and will blame him for all the failures of the Democrat party, Ukraine, Afghanistan, The lies about Russian interference, the border crisis and China. They plan to sweep it all away with Biden and apologize for being White. I think the ticket will be Gavin Newsome and Michelle Obama. In the mean time, we will have Kamala Harris.
LOL Never heard a parody of his last name. I always just called him Queasy.
The human embarrassment of slavery belongs at the source of slavery which is still actively practiced in Africa, the Near East, and elsewhere.
The real issue here is not the ethics of slavery, but rather the financial incentive to charge against the Untied States "deep pockets" and largess.
Rather than being thankful for the freedoms of current America, some of the population would rather dwell in the negative 'sins of the past' debate.
And as for "reparations"...or anything resembling "reparations"...I say:
EAT **** AND DIE!
We were a Brit colony in 1619 and were not a country. We did not officially become a nation for 174 years after 1619.
The American Revolution ended with the Treaty of Paris of 1783.
We cite and celebrate July 4, 1776, as the birth of the United States of America because that is when the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence.
However, a vital yet largely forgotten moment of American history happened January 14, 1784, or 237 years ago today.
The American Revolution ended with the Treaty of Paris of 1783.
On that day, the Continental Congress officially declared the sovereignty of the United States of American by ratifying the Paris Treaty. The treaty, negotiated on the American side by founding fathers Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, formally ended the Revolutionary War with Great Britain and established the U.S. as an independent nation.
Franklin, of course, represents a key figure in American history not only for his statesmanship but also for his scientific discoveries, his inventions that included bifocal lenses, the Franklin stove, the lightning rod, and also for his extensive writings.
Adams, who went onto become the second U.S. president, also was a prolific writer whose diaries provided great insight into the events that led to the birth of the new nation.
Jay, an abolitionist, went on to become the first chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and the second governor of New York. He was the only one of the three Americans who did not also sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
The trio’s work on the Treaty of Paris became somewhat jeopardized when the states nearly missed their deadline to sign, risking nullification of the agreement and perhaps giving the British the impetus to renegotiate with terms less beneficial to the United States.
The treaty’s timeline:
Fighting in the Revolutionary War ended after British General Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia, in October 1781.
In the spring of 1782, negotiations began between the Colonists and British to end the war formally. The British, however, refused to recognize the U.S. as an independent nation.
Ultimately, the cost of the war compelled the British to relent, and they reached their agreement.
On April 15, 1783, the Congress approved the agreement and signed it on September 3 of that year. All 13 states then needed to ratify it within six months. Scheduled to meet at the Maryland Statehouse that November, representatives of only seven of the 13 states showed up by January 13; a vote shy of the quorum needed to ratify.
They achieved that quorum when an ailing representative from South Carolina crawled out of bed and cast his vote on January 14, 1784.
OTD in history, the American Revolution ended with the Treaty of Paris of 1783.
The new nation expands its territory.
The terms of the treaty stretched U.S. territory to the Mississippi River while reserving Canada for Great Britain. Navigation of the Mississippi River remained open to both sides.
Ultimately, eight years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence and more than four years before George Washington became its first president, the United States became an independent nation.

I grew up believing the Union was in the right and that the war was fought over slavery. It was only in the last few years that I encountered information which caused me to question my beliefs, and with the discovery of even more information, I now believe we have all been misled about the cause of the civil war, and what the actual true goal of it was.
The doings in Washington DC against Trump and against we people who believe in smaller, non corrupt government, now convinces me even more that Washington DC has always had a power and corruption problem.
Yep the common belief I fear was created by the friends of the Carpet Baggers. As someone once said; It is always about the money. If we investigated all of them the way they investigated Trump we wouldn't have very many politicians walking around free. The real question is why the voters aren't outraged by the clear thievery that our politicians all engage in.
The European and Arabic countries started it.
Let them pay for it.
