Obama backs reparations for the first time and slams ‘politics of white resistance’

Using a program made for minorities is profiteering? Whose fault is it that some people don't take advantage of their opportunities and only want tax payers to refill their EBT cards every month? White women seem to be able to get off their collective asses, everyone else, not so much.

 

So what? They're dead.

 

Imagine what the U.S. G.D.P. would have been in 1865 if so many men and so much money had not disappeared into gun smoke! An enormous cost was paid over slavery, and money was the least of it, yet that was enormous. Plus, the entire event led to a centralization of power beyond what was imagined by those who wrote the Constitution. No, we have paid and are paying the debt of our ancestors.

 

weve spoken about the cimbrian war before havent we pollycy. the war where the germans INVADED ROME! yes, they invaded rome and and lost and we all know what happened to the defeated in war dont we, they became pow's even up until very recently, ww1 and 2.

you are trying to compare german pows with race based chattel slavery on a victim who NEVER INVADED you let alone start a war. Unless you have information that iwould love to read about how the guinea coast population in west africa invaded europe then your comparison is very poor. lets try to be genuine at least hey, youre bigger than this arent you?

 

I dont think at this point Obama himself remembers that his mother was White.

 

Your society is built off of slavery, ive researched in britain and the assets run very deep and im sure its the same in america, plantations, estates, banks, industry, universities, museums etc etc. a big debt. these businesses need to be held accountable firstly as they still trade or stand today.

either africans were paid by europeans to capture portugues enemies or the portugues themselves captured africans, there was no "african selling african" as you would love to believe. the european always had a hand in anything.

you should worry about your own sex slave trade in white women across europe and america rather than worry about any ficticious african slavery, or is your anti black rhetoric too strong?

worst crimes in history, you can add jefferson and washington to hitler and mao.

there is no common sense to reperations if you want to keep the nation divided and keep the 1% wealthy beyond imagination.

 

The slave trade in Africa was not a result of 'invasions' by European and American armies. No... BLACK slave owners sold BLACK slaves to the foreigners by many thousands.

There had been a thriving slave institution throughout most of Africa from the beginning of history... the fact that the slaves were African Negroes was simply a reality of the geography indicated.

BTW, on a smaller scale, a similar kind of slavery was conducted by slave-owning Chinese traders using Chinese slaves. Blacks are certainly not unique in having had segments of their societies involved in slavery or the slave-trade.

And, no, there's no justification for "reparations" at all....

 

the point is that AA was not reperations since it wasnt punishment for slavery since it benefits white women who werent slaves.

 

their business is still alive though, the ones built with blood money by gangsters.

 

the slave trade in africa was the result of european military invasions. portuguese sold african captives to europeans since they acted as middle men. are you saying these portuguese were black?

some africans sold black portuguese who were residing in africa to european slave traders yes but this was a business deal with the portuguese crown where payments were made to african kings for the capture of black portugese.

slavery in africa before colonialism was more about pows and criminals since there was no prison system, dont confuse race based chattel slavery as practiced by whites with servitude in africa, thats apples and nuts.

 

How much longer is Biden going to get away from his slave past? Slavery was still legal in Delaware after the Civil War ended. Prove me wrong.

 

I've given up on keeping track of genders anymore. Generally speaking I cleave to the ones with natural looking tits.

 

He probably resents it as it takes away 50% of his privilege.

 

I don't have have any involvement with any sort of sex trade of white women any where.

Fictitious african slavery? It's still going on.

You sound like you have a real jones for whites and want to cash in on it by revising history.

 

Iknow my history (white) better than you and thats what scares you.

 

Seeing that free stuff and being shackled by their own choice to welfare has done so much for blacks. Surely more of the same could do that much more for them.(sarc) Thing of it is, in generations past, everyone, including our nation was born into a world steeped in slavery and bigotry which everyone practiced against everyone else. But slowly we came out of it and put it in our rear view mirror. To tiptoe back into now for the sake of reparations is to do so with our eyes wide open as opposed to being born into it. Thus making us more guilty than those of the past, undermining any justice or justification in so doing. It would be blasphemy or a sin against the light. Then there is the mountain of reason against such a romp. The most obvious being that none of us have ever been slaves or slave owners. That there were few slave owners to begin with. That Africans enslaved Africans. That a great number of Americans arrived here after slavery. That hundreds of thousands of whites died to end slavery. And on and on.

 

FTR, I am very much against reparations.

But please explain how giving our tax dollars to corporations is any different ?

 

It really isn’t the same at all. But it’s NOT racial and it’s not reparations at all. It’s a bailout. Every race “benefits” if you want to claim handing them money is beneficial.

 

If you're talking about tax cuts like the one Trump signed in 2017, that's not giving anyone's tax dollars to anyone (even if it was poor fiscal policy).

If you're talking about bailouts, those are loans.

 

Funny that comment was not made to the creator of this thread who ignorantly claimed the same about Obama.

 

With that logic, humans would still be living in caves as if the Stone Age never ended.

 

Well, the supply-side socialist governor of Texas disagrees with your take:
Abbott Calls for Mandatory Winterization of Power Plants

 

Let us imagine what the United States would be like with virtually no Negroes. The crime rate would be much lower. The downtown areas of our cities would not be asphalt jungles of crime and moral depravity. They would be centers of civilization. They would be known for libraries, museums, art galleries, book stores, theaters, and concert halls. It would be possible to watch a play, a movie, or to attend a symphony or ballet that ended at 10:00 pm and walk safely for two miles to get home.

 

And if not for the Act of 1965, we wouldn't have any of the immigration problems we have today. But that's what happens when you govern off feelings, instead of the need for the nation.

 

Perhaps you should sign post this leaps you make, you know, so you can find your way back.
