    Did you offer to fly Japanese-Americans back to Japan when Reagan paid them reparations?

    Just for the record, when did America pay restitution to black folks for slavery and Jim Crow segregation?

    Law abiding Americans call for $15 trillion of reparations for looting and rioting. We will let you slide on that $1 trillion overage and just call it all square.

    Consider the billions in damage and lost revenue they are doing as a down payment.

    Should the people who were raped, robbed and murdered by the descendants of slaves get reparations from the descendants of slaves?

    If every black person in the country had $350k, that would make them the single largest target for swindlers and criminals.

    Just for the record, do you think black people deserve reparations for things they never experienced?

    What about future born babies?

    If the government is giving out $350,000 to every African American baby going forward, planned Parenthood will filing chapter 11 & the black women will be spitting out kids like bunny rabbits.

    Some states permit felons to vote. They're unlikely to shut the spigot. Gotta pay for votes somehow.

    He wants the money for a new jet so he can go bilk more money.

    Only Democrats should pay it, Republicans paid in lives and in rebuilding.

    Besides capturing and selling slaves, many blacks in this country also owned them. Of the people who were captured and sold by their own kind, America received about 3.6 percent of them, the vast majority went to other countries south of us. If restitution is to be paid, then it should be by the people who made slavery possible, and that would be the Africans who captured and sold them.

    I''ll go back to my post about using Zimbabwe currency. The amount then would only be $38,684,719,535USD. Hell that's only $38.7 Billion dollars and we could then even through in the airfare.

    One mustn't quibble about capitalism, particularly how he rightly identified the demand for hair care products specifically formulated for that market. I once worked as a security guard in a predominantly black neighborhood (as was the company owner). They had me in a store where three days before, a squad of very well-organized thieves (race not identified to me) came in with large bags. One held the bag and the other swept black hair care products into the bag. Three shelves, three sets of bags and sweepers. They were out the door in ninety seconds, before security could burst onto the floor.

    Even five-finger-discount, there's big money in black health care products.

    Not that I would usually trust Snopes for anything, but even they grudgingly admit this one....

    =

    The first legal slave owner in American history was a black tobacco farmer named Anthony Johnson.


    Possibly true. The wording of the statement is important. Anthony Johnson was not the first slave owner in American history, but he was, according to historians, among the first to have his lifetime ownership of a servant legally sanctioned by a court.

    A former indentured servant himself, Anthony Johnson was a “free negro” who owned a 250-acre farm in Virginia during the 1650s, with five indentured servants under contract to him. One of them, a black man named John Casor, claimed that his term of service had expired years earlier and Johnson was holding him illegally. In 1654, a civil court found that Johnson in fact owned Casor’s services for life, an outcome historian R Halliburton Jr. calls “one of the first known legal sanctions of slavery — other than as a punishment for crime.”

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/facts-about-slavery/

    The article also contains various other black slave owners, and in usual fashion attempts to hide the strong Democrat Party influence among slave owners through the pre-war South.

    How do we identify them, for taxation purposes? A big $ branded on their foreheads? We'd need somebody to hold the bugger while things heat up. The bawling gets intense as well.

    Crikey, I have it! Do as the muslims do and cut off a hand as a warning against future thievery! (Expect blowback from veterans. Just sayin'.)

    No, I declared in my best Terry-Thomas fluster ---- Road-building! Chain gang road-building. Used to work like a charm in Georgia. Saw it many times. Best use of tax money and gets the inmates out being useful, at what, twelve cents a day? They'll be cellblock barons in no time.

    It seems that you missed the entire universe with that rant. Be sure to vote for trump because he says that he wants to bring back racial slavery in 2021 so that America will be great again.

    Before some leftist does a KAREN about the above flight of fancy and complains someone had a sense of whatever I'm doing...

    If we are realistic it would have to be to tax-assault registered Democrats. Perhaps a poll tax like Dems imposed on blacks. Red states would of course want to see ID for any exceptions.

    Expect that party to dissolve for lack of finances as the parasites fly away. But again this is all in fun, and the thinskinned leftists are volunteering themselves. It's fish in a barrel.

    Many whites have ancestors who were brought here as indentured servants. If you have ever looked at passenger lists from around the revolutionary war, many were brought as slave labor. Another interesting factoid is the number of Europeans who died on ships on the way over. Of course your typical Ethnic Studies course today won't share that, if they are even aware.

    Since black Americans are mixed race maybe they can move to Scotland, Ireland, England, Germany, Poland, or Spain and France instead of Africa? After all, that is where their ancestors came from.
