Slavery reparations proposals could cost US more than $17 trillion

[badbabysitter]

No matter where you go and who is talking, threads like this are never entertaining. It really brings out the stupid in a way that's no fun at all.

It is highly entertaining

He has gone from snarky to spiteful..yet still thinks he has the high ground

I think its hilarious

I am also baked , mind you

 

[toeskr]

Are these more "facts"?

Thank god you're not using feelings and emotions when you said the above

Feelings and emotions are the domain of the sosh progs. Great governance.

So why are you indulging in it?

 

[toeskr]

Bringing up the ethnicity of my husband sure is

Or do you believe black people can't marry?

I believe you are reaching. Black is a color. Race and ethnicity are entirely different.

But you keep beating your drum.

I believe people of color, which is all of us, can marry whomever they want.

My condolences to your husband.

 

[badbabysitter]

Not making claim to anything. Take your whining and TDS to the poli board or put both hands on that black cock and step away from the keyboard.

Then then.

I believe you are reaching. Black is a color. Race and ethnicity are entirely different.

My condolences to your husband.

My condolences to your parents

Good fuck you are dense.

If your husband is neglecting you and there is no pussy for you to eat, you come here to argue. Got it.

 

[toeskr]

My condolences to your parents

Did your parents have any progeny that lived?

Explains your entire posting history.

The "high" ground fer sure. Derp derp.

So, because some people sold them that werent Americans... the Americans that bought them, killed them, raped them..they should be ignored?

All of those people are long since dead.

 

[bellisarius]

Ain't gonna happen.

 

[oralaccents]

Ain't gonna happen.

How about tax free status like the indians get?

They were victims of genocide; ethnic cleansing...


Whole different ball game.

True and the blacks were imported.

Half Off Tax?

The Indians were autonomous nations and to a limited extent still are. They gave up full autonomy for certain rights and privileges. So it is indeed apples and oranges.

 

[BotanyBoy]

LOL!!!

As already stated, never happening.

And it shouldn't, nobody today should be punished or compensated for shit that happened to/perpetrated by their ancestors. The very notion is fucking ridiculous.

Actually it's explicitly unconstitutional. If you want to pay reparations you need to amend the constitution first.

I mean... not THAT long dead. Slavery was abolished in 1865. If they lived a human lifespan the last people to own slaves died 79 years ago. I know people who are alive who could have known people who owned slaves. Like... It wasn't like 400 years ago, it was 150.

And we still feel the repercussions of that system to this day. It's not like slavery became illegal and then everything became a utopia.

Also, did anybody ever get that 40 acres? Or that mule? Or was that just bullshit like the government likes to do?

Like you realize that there are people alive right now who's granny or gramps, or even mommy or daddy owned slaves, right? My mamaw was 92 when she died. There are people alive right now who's granny or gramps WERE slaves. So let's not pretend this is some shit that happened a million years ago.

Very few give a shit and NO ONE is going to pay for it. The only time reparations comes up is during election season and it's sole purpose is to keep those 'Darkies' voting democrat. Just another race card to be played.

What I find amusing about badbabysitter and Candi, is their (wilful) ignorance:

Muslims had a far, far more extensive and bloody history.

Africans from conquered countries, who refused to convert to Islam were either killed, or neutered and sold in captivity.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Candi, how much do the British owe in reparations to American Blacks?
The Muslims who enslaved and sold them?
The Native American tribes?
That's why this is silly.

In the minds of the American black only white Americans are guilty of the practice of slavery. Our public schools and universities have done a fine job on that point of indoctrination.

Tidiane N’Diaye: The Veiled Genocide (2008)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/2070119580/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i0

"It is more than 13 centuries, without interruption, that the Arabs have enslaved the black continent. [...] The trans-Sahelian and eastern slave trade has been much more devastating for the African people than the transatlantic trade.
If I call my study "veiled genocide" it is because widespread castration annihilated any possibility of transmission, any possibility of descent, which explains today that their presence in the Arab world is an epiphenomenon.

It seems that most Muslim intellectuals are reluctant to address this page of our history, a painful page that not only Arab-Muslim researchers should have opened, but African intellectuals are hesitant.

And what resonance today? Since today an estimated 45 million people are still enslaved. It's essentially in the Arab-Muslim world. [...] African students living in the Maghreb are often treated in a rather despicable way. African maids have their passports confiscated in Lebanon or elsewhere."

Puppets of the race industry...

Modern Progressivism: The past is an indictment, the present is intolerable, but we, if you just follow us, know the way into a bright, even Utopian future of total and all-encompassing equality (of station, wealth and outcome).

If you have been taught that you're a 'victim', and you internalize that notion, it relieves you of having to take any responsibility for your failures. As a matter of fact it relieves you of having to make any effort at all.

 

[beew]

I don't understand:
If they're aiming for votes, aren't they shooting themselves in the foot?

I would assume that AfricanAmericans and their relatives/friends would vote (I would too, in their place)
But Whites, Asians and Hispanics will turn to the opposition - otherwise, it would hurt their purse.
