Hey, if Talcum X can do it, then so can you.

[ealgeone]

if they can only muster 26% in favor of reparations i this climate, it’ll be less than half that in two weeks.

I hope you're right.

But I'll bet you this....on November 5th if Biden has won and the dims take the Senate they will move on reparations. And it won't be a one time payment.

It will be ongoing.

They won't care if they lose the House or Senate at the midterms as they know the gop-e wouldn't have the guts to repeal it. Just like they didn't repeal bammycare.

26% want Reparations?

13% Blacks or semi-Blacks like Obama.

13% Morons who won’t take any money out of their own Wallets to pay Reparations.

[elbook]

.

26% of Americans are in favor of reparations

AND 26% Americans are ‘On the Dole’

What did Plato say about poor people voting ALL the wealth to themselves if given the opportunity ???

Give minorities every penney you have. I say no thank you. Watch this short video from Dsouza. A stupid college student thinks WE should all pay but he wont do it himself. Fools, but it is funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcosS6jB3x4

I do believe more whites overall were enslaved in one form or another from outright slavery,indenture and conscription etc. I used to live on the "Mainline" Pennsylvania with the the railroad that cuts through Western Pennsylvania and into Philadelphia and every once in a while mass grave markers can be found of Chinese and Irish "workers" who slaved away laying track.

I guess slavery today has more people enslaved than any time in history from sex,Chicom factory,Islam and other slave labor.

You left out the biggest group of slaves of all: democrats.

[Striperman]

Here, here, Irish were treated like s...!

[Bull Snipe]

true. but after 1 generation they could tell everyone that they were not Irish. The could call themselves, Davis, or Schultz or Mc Donald. Something that the fellas from Africa could not do.

[freedumb2003]

Some yes and some now. But even for those who could, they didn’t nor should they have to.

I want me some reparations, dammit.

$3,000 each. I worked out reparations and we’ve paid them many times over, in job preference, free education and housing and a hundred social programs designed just for black folks:

calculating ‘reparations’ - 25 yr working life (1790-1860) x $120/yr (12 months @ $10.00/mo w/meals) = $3,000 x (2 million imported blacks less 30% freemen) 1.5M slaves x $3000 = $4.7B

life expectancy by decade
1750 - 1800 - 36yrs
1800-1850 - 37 yrs

Agricultural Laborers
1752 - 0.33 day
1753 - 0.37 day
1755 - 0.35 day
1760 - 0.25 day
1766 - 0.33 day
1770 - 0.33 day (boys, .167/day)
1774 - 0.36 day
1776 - 0.167-0.50 (avg 0.33)
1815 - with board 0.56/day; with board and lodging (8.00/mo); with two meals a day (10.00/mo)
1825 - 0.50 - 0.99 (avg 0.74); with board-high (0.66/day) with board-low (0.50/day)
With 2 meals/day-high (15.00/mo), with 2 meals/day-low (12.00/mo), with board and lodging-high (12.00/mo) -low (10.00/mo)

How many of your Irish relatives were freed from hereditary chattel slavery when the XIII Amendment was ratified

[freedumb2003]

>>How many of your Irish relatives were freed from hereditary chattel slavery when the XIII Amendment was ratified<<

As many as the average black in America.

You don’t get it. Reparations are not about any REAL damages. They are for my PERCEIVED damages.

[ZULU]

FINE. LET THE 29% PAY REPARATIONS.

[Bull Snipe]

Well then when they pass the legislation you should be able to apply for reparations. Since so many of your kin were slaves.

This entitlement attitude has been widely accepted. Reminds me of what the good book says:
2 Thessalonians 3:10

“For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.”

EBT, welfare checks, hand outs, etc. has primed sections of society to demand reparations. Big difference between those that can NOT work and those not willing to work.

I don’t think we should destroy our history. Apparently the Democrat Party and their affiliated gangs of Black Lives Matter, and Antifa, both communist political organizations, destroy statues, assault citizens and burn and loot American history.
Also Congressional Democrats celebrate black West African slave traders by wearing the Kente cloth scarfs, worn by the rich tribal leaders who were brutal human traffickers.

here’s the site i saw the study mentioned on:

https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/03/12/whites-were-slaves-in-north-africa-before-blacks-were-slaves-in-the-new-world/

There was a couple m ore- but i think they refereed to the study too-

here’s another:

When Europeans Were Slaves: Research Suggests White Slavery Was Much More Common Than Previously Believed

one more- Irish were slaves as well here in America and other countries like Jamaica AND Caribbean Islands-

“The Slavery of “Whites” actually goes back some time. It has been said for instance, that Scotch-Irish have been slaves longer than any other race in the history of the world. We are not going to cover all of that here. Instead, we are going to shed some light on a few things that most obviously never heard about in school in regard to white slaves in the Americas.”

In the Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series; America and West Indies of 1701, we read of a protest over the “encouragement to the spiriting away of Englishmen without their consent and selling them for slaves, which hath been a practice very frequent and known by the name of kidnapping.” (Emphasis added). In the British West Indies, plantation slavery was instituted as early as 1627. In Barbados by the 1640s there were an estimated 25,000 slaves, of whom 21,700 were White. (“Some Observations on the Island of Barbados,” Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series). It is worth noting that while White slaves were worked to death in Barbados, there were Caribbean Indians brought from Guiana to help propagate native foodstuffs who were well-treated and received as free persons by the wealthy planters.”
