Well, first we gave them Haiti, so why not give them Venezuela now. Maybe they can make a go of it there.

I cannot fix the past. I am not responsible for the past. I no longer even care about the past. I used to.

I will kill anyone who tries to oppresses me, for any reason, including my skin color.

Be my friend or be my enemy.

If the hot mess that is collapsing, communist Venezuela is going to pontificate about slavery in the New World, they should read the history of the Spanish in the New World-the 1st people they enslaved were not Black but the Native Americans/Indians from the Caribbean Islands all the way to what is now the SW US-but Indians don’t make good slaves-they were prone to kill their captors or die trying to-not profitable, so the Spaniards brought Black slaves from Africa-apparently they were less likely to revolt as often...

Since my Spanish ancestors enslaved my Native American ancestors, along with those of just about every other person of Hispanic descent in the Americas-we should be 1st in line for any “reparations”-so come on Spain and Portugal-cough ‘em up!!!

Let me see the logic here:

Some of my ancestors were enslaved by some of your ancestors.

Some of my ancestors enslaved some of your ancestors.

Most of the slaves taken by some less succesfull societies, did not reproduce.

Most of the slaves take by some of today’s more successful societies, reproduced.

Since some white people who had some black slaves, lived in societies that eliminated slavery and became wealthy, the people in those societies today, should pay the black people in the societies that did not become wealthy.

Total nonsense.

If you watch Ancient Aliens, you know that aliens changed the DNA of Homo Erectus (erection man) in order to make all of them more useful so they could work in the gold mines. So as soon as the aliens return, we need to present them with our bill for reparations. That’ll clear it all up.

"The outward process is where we level demands and claims in those liable European and North American governments and institutions for the damage inflicted by slavery."

And here we are at the money line in this wonderful little piece of Socialist Flatulence. Can you say shakedown? I knew ya could.

Level and demand away Pookie. And in the mean time what say we send a carrier battle group or two down there to facilitate your own contributions to the "oppressed" of the world. While we're at it dragging the entire corrupt leadership of your Sh*t Hole country out and hanging them from the nearest suitable tree or lamp post.

Hmm. Most likely if a lot of them were never brought here (well their ancestors) they would not even exist today knowing how the tribes slaughtered each other there. Even in recent events. Think Hutus and Tutsis. So, I’m kinda thinkin’ reimbursement for travel, housing and food is in order. Oh, and a hearty THANKS for saving us. If I remember correctly, the number of slaves went more to the islands and central and south America than the US. But that would stand to reason that venezoola would want to pay up. Corrections as needed.

Americans think of the USA when they talk about slavery. South America was heavily into slavery of Africans. The lifespan of slaves in South America was 1/3 that of slaves in the U.S. They were brutal.

Reparations for slavery should first be made from the dictatorship and its supporters to the people of Venezuela. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
