Nobody owes such reparations. Never even play the game.
They can do that after they pay the Irish and Scots.
The Romans owe the Irish a bunch of reparations too.
Anglos deserve blame for about 3% of the demand side of African slaves. Africans deserve blame for literally 99% of the supply side of African slaves.
And who is this clay useful idiot and why should anyone listen to him?
The Left also likes to while about the Atlantic Slave Trade. We got out of that business in 1805. So that was a grand total of 22 years for us. And even then, the Atlantic Slave Trade was almost entirely focused on funneling slaves to the Caribbean and South America. The United States of America was barely involved.
while = whine
Africa enslaved people and sold them, so go hit them up...
I thought the point of the 1619 Project was the U.S. was only responsible for slavery and evil, even though it didn’t exist.
US responsible for slavery all the way back to the Neolithic!
“Nobody owes such reparations. Never even play the game.”
I agree. I know Clay thinks he is being clever and all but the concept of reparations for anything done in the distant past is irrational.
I think the African tribes who sold their fellow tribesman should pay.
I believe that the American taxpayer is due reparations for paying for the care and feeding of democrat voters for a couple of generations.
England already paid reparations. Did that and then in 1840ish started stamping it out across the world.
The US had to do things a bit different because of its constitution. Other countries (like all of SAmerica) avoided the issue for as long as they could.
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton took over Rush’s time slot on talk radio.
“England already paid reparations.”
I agree.
It is true that they ran the show for centuries in the 1600s/1700s, but fast forward to 1808 and they’re using their entire navy to get rid of it.
Navies aren’t cheap. Britain is paid in full.
The British solution was to “buy back” the slaves from their masters and “set them free”. They paid no reparations. They paid off the masters. Perhaps we should follow their example and pay reparations to white people?
Just a thought and other viewpoint. Nobody yells at the British for THEIR years of slavery.
Everyone forgets how the idea of reparations started.
It started with Japanese Americans sent to internment during WWII.
In the early 1990’s, they received reparation payments.
German Americans and Italian Americans were forced into internment, too. They were not given reparations.
Black Americans were not given reparations for slavery.
Yet, no one complains about Japanese Americans receiving reparations for WWII internment.
Then the Democrat Party can pay the balance.
After Rush Limbaugh died, the "Clay and Buck Show" was billed as a Rush replacement. It was not. They say they have "Talent on loan from Rush." They do not.
At least Dan Bongino acknowledges that he is not in Rush's league.
