Are these people off their rockers? My family did not get any money except by. working dawn to dusk. I am into genealogy and not one had any slaves. These people need to get a life and work for their money.

These people have no idea how “wealth” is created—or why. While some wealth is created by manual labor, that pails in comparison to the amount of wealth created by invention and innovation. Those that save labor & enhance productivity are especially valuable. For example, the invention of the Cotton Gin, made picking cotton economical. That is why all this noise about a $15/hr minimum wage will only hasten the elimination of those jobs.

In the end, most wealth is created by the mind, not by the muscles or back.

Black racism must be denounced—its getting as bad the KKK of old—worse. The KKK never wanted to kill all black people—some of these blacks today would like to see all of Whitie Dead.

My parents left Germany between World Wars I&II and arrived in the US with what little they could carry. Neither one ever received a college education. They both worked and saved enough to buy a house for themselves and their four children. We were all college educated post high school. In five years I earned two engineering degrees and maintained a 3.48/4.00 GPA, (never less then a B). I payed my own way with student loans which were re-payed in full in two years.

Tell that ignorant professor to stick reparations in her ear. The United States is the land of opportunity and if you get off your dead ass and work hard you can rise as far as your talents will take you.

PS I've been married to the same woman for 40 years, she is also the daughter of an immigrant family.
