The internet seldom forgets:
He was given a slave by his father-in-law to help him on his homestead. He worked alongside him and then went down and filled out the paperwork to set him free.
He was not a Republican until after the war.
SLAVE OWNER SLAVE OWNER SLAVE OWNER, She needs to give up her VP pay for reparations
I know the story, but the point is that the history of slavery in the country is complex, now well suited to sentence fragments tailored to meed current day agenda. Familes in the South, like my own, were solid Democrat until I got back from Vietnam when they left the Humphrey/Mondale left wing Democrat Party and became Republicans. To claim anything otherwise is nonsense.
I have a copy of a letter written by a member of my family to their relations in Northern Ireland. They pointed out that Slavery needed to be ended (primarily for economic reasons), but because so much of the wealth of the South was invested in slaves, there was no way to achieve such a goal. That letter was written in 1783, when they could finally correspond with relative in Great Britain.
Kamala’s family history of slavery delayed the choice. Biden picked her first (remember the leaked announcement) and then the handlers said no because of the slavery deal. Then they analyzed the others to death before Biden said —
“you know what — I am going with my 1st choice. What can those racist Republican SOBs say about it anyway? Bunch of white supremacists! Screw them.”
“you know what — I am going with my 1st choice. “
BS, implies Biden is strong and decisive and made the call. He picked who he was told to pick. This follows the open letter letter the 100 BLM a-holes sent out demanding a black woman.
Yes, saw it on Fox News reporting on today’s announcement.
African’s owned and sold slaves and still do so why not go after the sellers of slaves for reparations?
It’s their African ancestry.
I would not exactly call it decisive as he took a few weeks longer than advertised.
But of course Biden made the call. He is the dem Presidential candidate. He has the final say ... certainly on who will be his VP candidate.
Nike has slave labor now.
The “privilege” so called NOT black.
She OWES reparations.
“She OWES reparations.”
This.
Biden killed the reparations movement with one name.
Can’t demand reparations be paid by those whose ancestors died to end slavery, paid to those whose ancestors owned (Harris’: 128!) slaves.
Good catch. Thanks.
Then they can get reps from her first.
She’ll be president with a ‘PEN’!! Grrrrrrr
