Reparations for slavery

[DABANSHEE]

Ah Russ, pops his head up, speaking about a subject he knows nothing about - typical failed politician. I actually saw a London channel 4 documentary about whites being born into slavery in North America. BTW, typical of a politician, you get all the details muddled, Did I mention the US in my post? No the period that the documentary was referring to was arround the time of the French & Indian Wars, before the US even existed.

Reparations: bad, as per general consensus
hell my family came here long after slaevry to escape the genocide in our country...we were discriminated against too, but found ways to ASSIMILATE quickly...

However, much scarier is the current "ghetto thug" mentality Ive personally seen when in my high school, the A-A kids would brag about how many white girls theyve screwed as "reparations" for slavery...they used to boast how the girls parents would trip when their lily white daughters ended up with mixed babies.. this is failry popular among ghetto kids today and is REALLY scary...

Yup, scarry, when we're all the same color, I'm gonna have a devil of a time figuring out who to hate.

Hate 'em all, and let God sort 'em out.

<<Has there ever been an official public apology for Slavery?>>


<<How about hundreds of thousands dead Americans? Is that official enough?>>



DAVE


not all who fought for the north were against slavery.

here's a sample of what army soldiers shouted while going to battle.

&quot;We are for the war, but not for the great person.&quot;

so, it is not true that the only cause for the civil war was slavery.
it was of course one of the biggest causes for it.
but, not THE cause of it.

yeah, liberation what a wonderful thing. just get em liberated and leave them bare and wretched... as for the reparations, i think its rather a wild idea. doubt it would ever be realized.
