I saw last night where the miscreants that were advocating reparations are denying that the Civil War was about slavery.

You know, billbears, I wasted a fair amount of time on Saturday watching the C-Span coverage and none of the people I saw on stage came close to being factual on almost anything they said. I just chalk this up to being one more inaccuracy. The closest anyone came to saying something interesting was when that Sister Firestarter started clucking like a chicken. I still don't understand what that part was about.

But I'm curious, billbears old son. Now that your main man DiLorenzo has signed on to the justification for reparations for something like this then how can you not support the black reparations movement? Where is his movement justified and that black one isn't?

Well you have factual evidence of houses, whole cities even, being razed to the ground by men that were not following international rules of war as you know DiLorenzo points out. Men who devastated entire regions of the South killing in cold blood whereas in the reparations movement you have a 'Black Holocaust' that you and I well know is virtually impossible. 150 million people died in less than 400 years? 100 million in ships coming over here alone? The numbers are outrageous. And God forbid any of these kind folk like Malik Shabizz do ancestral research just to find out some of their own black ancestors were among the largest slaveowners in the South.

Point being, the Southern reparations movement points out specific actions and has a specific defendant. the entire union army. The slavery reparations movement has an everchanging defendant. Sometimes it's the US government, other times it's the nations of Europe, other times it's folks like myself that are flying the true flag of freedom. What I want to know is why don't they go after the descendants of the men who sold them into slavery? You know, the tribes of Africa that sold their enemies and are now in power in places like Zimbabwe, where they're chasing white farmers out of the nation
