Says Who??? When the President, then Abraham Lincoln, said that ALL slaves will be freed. However, the south which had seceded from the Union did not honor that proclamation. After 1865, ALL the slaves were free people. It's not MY fault that slaves in the south weren't freed. It's not my family's fault, because my family was too poor to own slaves. Not to mention the people I come from would rather do the work themselves, than leave it to someone else.

Jesse Jackson, and all of these pro-reparation people need to pack their crap and leave America today. If they want reparations, they need to go to Europe, and AFRICA, to get to the people who are ultimately responsible for the origins of slavery. It's not the white people of America who are to blame, but Europeans, and African Chieftans who are responsible for their servitude. If Blacks want reparations, then I am willing to give them enough money to get out of America and NEVER come back. If black people think they were the only ones who got a raw deal, think again. The Irish had a really bad time, not to mention my Native American Ancestors who suffered at the hands of ALL colors.

I thought about this today. I'm a veteran. I'm a disenfranchised veteran who defended black people. I think I should be compensated. Oh wait, I was compensated, the only difference was that I worked hard for it. It wasn't just given to me, I had to earn it. Just like everyone else in America who works, and produces, they had to earn it. When you tell a black family, who worked their rear ends off to get out of a ghetto, that they're still a slave, because some special interest group says so, you find it insulting. I have friends who are black, and they are outraged at reparations. Why aren't more blacks outraged? Because the majority of the blacks who follow Jesse Jackson, Rainbow Push, and Al Sharpton, are nothing more than the dregs who want a hand out, rather than work an honest day in their life.

I am an angry white male who is sick to death of always being told that I can't be proud of who I am, or that I can't achieve more than someone else because it's politically incorrect. Screw political correctness. The truth needs to be spoken. Africa is a toilet because Black Africa likes it that way. IF they wanted change, they would have acclimated to a changing world. They did acclimate, however they had nothing but slaves to trade, which they did willingly. If Slavery was so bad, then why did these slaves stay here in America? Ask yourself that question, how many slaves were repatriated, and how many were repatriated unwillingly? You will find that the numbers are astoundingly low, and you will also find that those who were repatriated, Their Children went on to come back to the United States. There's something you don't hear told very often. If Jesse Jackson wants to find people culpable, he needs to go back to Africa, trace the lineages of all of the ruling tribal chiefs who took rival tribespeople prisoner. There he will find the truth. Africa, as a nation only developed because of European and Arabic Influence. Black Africa was primitive, and is STILL primitive. Go figure as to the reason.

If reparations go through, if you think it's hard to live on what you make, imagine a tax on every single person who isn't black, that would include Asians, Hispanics, Arabic, Jewish, and every other non-black peoples. Now imagine having to work two jobs, while your average black citizen who has NEVER been a slave in America during their whole life, gets to win the lottery. How is that going to make you feel when you sleep at night? It's going to make you angry. It makes me angry as my ancestors suffered worse than slavery. My ancestors were nearly wiped out, or bred out of existence.

If Black America wants reparations, go get it from Black Africa, because that's where your problems began. It wasn't with any of my ancestors, and it certainly wasn't the immigrant side of my family either.
