It started with the first shipoad of blacks brought over from Africa as slaves.
We have been paying for that mistake for 150 years.We will pay until the United States no longer exists.
One of the greatest mistakes in the history of the world.
Utter, foolish nonsense. Slavery was common all over the world at that time. Slavery is still common in many Islamic countries. “We” pay? I don’t own slaves, never did. Why should people alive now pay for something that some ancestors of some of them did? Every country should “pay” that had slaves, which means basically every single country in the world at some point. And without black people selling their brethren to Mozlems, there would have been no slave trade bringing slaves to America.
Get a grip.
And if black people in the US are so angry their ancestors were brought here as slaves, let them go back to their country of origin and live like their long lost relatives. Parasites, no shoes, skinny, under madmen rulers. Havin’ fun, yeah.
Ditto what you said.
Americans owning slaves was a blip on the radar screen.
I have a grip.
Worst thing that ever happened to this country.
Why should you pay. You shouldn’t , but you do.
We do every time an affirmative action job is handed out.
Dittos on your post!
What many people also don’t realize is that it is still legal for Islamic countries have ‘slaves’ in our own country under the UN diplomatic rules. A few years ago, a black African woman escaped from some middle eastern country’s embassy ( can’t remember which country)....here in the US and we could do nothing but return her to her captors and tormentors.
Talk about a ‘war on women’. Now the Muslim Brotherhood thugs and terrorists are raping women in the streets of Egypt.....not a word from Sandra Fluke and her posse of concern trolls. Same thing years ago in Afghanistan...before 911. The Taliban was shooting women in stadiums for sport and cutting their heads off and / or private parts out for barbaric and unholy reasons. Not one liberal in the US said a word!! But the minute the Taliban blew up the Buddist statues...well..John Kerry and his flukes had congressional hearings about the destruction of historical sites!!
I detest them all....lol.
The point the poster meant to make, as I understood it, was that the dependent underclass that is now ruining our country is a direct outgrowth of slavery.
It’s a thought that merits consideration, not condemnation, even if you disagree.
