If we are going to pay reparations, let's also pay the descendants of Civil War soldiers who gave their lives to free slaves.

“That same group of people...”

For a 150 year old, John Adams fought hard at Gettysburg.

Interesting ...

Fortunately my great-great grandfathers on my mom’s side both made it home OK and like the song says “The laurel wreath is ready now to place upon his loyal brow ...”

My grandmother was mugged 6 times. Each time was by a black. In one instance, she handed her handbag to the black and said, “please don’t hurt me.” The black then smashed my grandmother in the face and knocked her to the street.

Where are my reparations?

I was a victim of polar bear hunting in West Chester PA.

Where are my reparations?

My side of the family has several Union soldiers in the uncivil war.

Some died in battle, one in a confederate prison, many never recovered. My wife probablely has even more ancestors in the Civil war on the Yankee side.

How about all the civil war soldiers and make the Democrats pay for it. They started it. Then wore the white effing sheets to hang blacks. The current crop of Dems are worse than the ones back then. IMO

That’s three for me and my children. One in the east and two in the west.

Woohoo!

It’s been said that, all humans are descendants of the blacks from Africa.

Therefore,

we should all get reparation pay for being somewhat black, and for having been discriminated against, at one time or another, somewhere..

Where’s my $5 million?

Yankees pay no heed to kicking a hornet’s nest in order to make a point. History cuts both ways. Wonder how many of them would clutch their pearls if Southerners pushed for reparations for Reconstruction?

My great uncle was a 17 yearold immigrant from Norway when he was drafted into the Union army to fight for the North. He was killed in a battle shortly after. He had no opportunity to have decedents. It seems like our family deserves reparations for that.

I have at least one of those in my family.

Very probably a few of them.

I had six ancestors that fought in the Civil War. Five for the South and one for the North. The only slaveowner in the bunch fought for the Union and didn't have to give them up until December of 1965.

My dog wants reparations for the domestication of the wolf that left them marginalized and dependent upon monkeys.

There were thousands of black slave owners. Why should we pay reparations to descendants of black slave owners?

“If we are going to pay reparations, let’s also pay the descendants of Civil War soldiers who gave their lives to free slaves.”

What?

Why did Union soldiers have to fight and die to “free slaves.”

The United States Constitution was pro-slavery - Lincoln took an oath to protect and defend it twice - but that could be changed peacefully by the constitutional amendment process; in other words, the ballot box.

Why didn’t the Union vote to abolish slavery in 1861 - or 1848 for that matter?

Do you know why?

Black people are super grateful for the White man’s Civil War sacrifice. They prove it every day by being such dutiful and productive citizens.
