50+ years of welfare/EBT, section 8, set-asides, preferential hiring etc. have paid the debt in full.
“Almost 250 years of slavery”
The US as a country had legalized slavery for less than 80 years; anything mentioning more is an outright lie pushing an agenda. Low information blacks throw around “400 years” as though the US is responsible for the actions of imperial Spain, England, and France.
We are nearing the point where we’ve outlawed slavery for almost twice as long as it was originally allowed in this country. Blacktivists have a lower image of themselves than the Klan ever portrayed them, and cling to events over 150 years ago to explain away their underperformance (or downright nonperformance).
