Black lab?

That's a good one.

The thing with the sins of our fathers is that even if we were to say fine, we'll make up for slavery by people who didn't own slaves paying trillions of dollars to people who weren't slaves to make up for it, Democrats would not let it go. They will double down on the anger. Democrats always get more angry when they get their way.

It would almost be worth it if we could pay blacks a trillion dollars just to end the Democrat race baiting. But again, it would never work

On my Father's side, they came over from Germany around the start of the 1900s.
On my Mother's side, they came over from Armenia a little bit later, but just before the Turks began their pogrom of genocide.

I don't have a family heritage of being in this nation back when there was slavery. For that matter, I recently saw where only about 40% of Blacks have roots back to that era of slavery.

So way I see it most Blacks don't deserve reparations, and I shouldn't have to pay any.

Yes, your family wasn't here when slavery happened. My family fought against slavery. But slavery is our fault while Democrats are the party that actually owned slaves and has subjugated blacks since and they aren't responsible for shit.

Democrats are garbage human beings

Its not really about party. Most people in Miss want medicaid expansion and more infrastructure spending. But the voting rights act mandated gerrymandering is unpopular with a maj, and in a lot of places school integration led to a decline in acad standards

I'm not clear what that had to do with the post you responded to

Today's gopers and dems have no ties to slavery or Jim Crow

Right, that's what I keep saying. Slaves aren't alive and neither are slave owners.

You might want to mention that to the Democrats since they are the ones who don't seem to be aware of that

Guess we will find out once the destruction of United States is over if it was the best nation ,I don't think any of us will be happy about it or ind a beter place in this world than right here.

Godboy Hate to tell you, that although indians were taking scalps before the colonists arrived-----that Europeans decided that they liked taking scalps over their usual chopping heads off as proof of death as the scalps were easier to transport and preserve. Personally, carrying around a head would be grosser to me than a scalp. You may also want to note that many indian tribes were less brutal than the whites-----who were also known to slaughter women and children--Gen. Custer for example.

You would be hard pressed to find examples of white men slaughtering entire tribes, while finding entire groups of slaughtered settlers was quite common. As for scalps, indians took them from living people for trophies. Big fucking difference between the two. One was a horrific act of violence on a living person, the other was for logistical reasons and they were taken from corpses, and it was done because people were being slaughtered by indians. They were a serious threat to everyone.

But it was the Great Obama who supposedly ushered in the age of a post-racial America.

Are you saying that the Great Obama was a failure? Because that's sure the way it sounded like to me

I voted for Obama the first time and actually was proud of the fact that my nation elected a black man to be President even though he was half white.

During his eight years in office race relations went downhill. I think Trump tried to help minorities but the MSM painted him constantly as a racist. Now we are reaching the point where everybody hates everybody different from them. Instead of being a united nation we are breaking up into tribes.

Today when I turn on the news it seems I always hear the words “racism” and “systemic white supremacy.” I even hear talk of a race war. I see riots in the streets and cities burning. The police no longer have support from many of the cities they work in and have turned reactive rather than proactive. Consequently crime is skyrocketing. Often when I turn on the news I see people shooting at each other. Innocent children often die in the crossfire.

We need a real leader right now as President. Unfortunately we have a wobbly old man in the early stages of dementia who can’t answer a reporter’s question without looking a notes hidden in his pocket.

Basically it looks like we are screwed.

I have some vintage narratives and the pioneers who hired friendly Indians were horrified what the friendly Indians did to the unfriendly Indians. But they did the job and were compensated.

Batcat made a lot of good points. Your response addressed none of them. All you did was play the wace card.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Genuine question. Seems the US has done a lot of bad stuff, from meddling unasked in foreign affairs to its treatment of indigenous peoples. (Even the very, very conservative curriculum that was used for history class when I was in school acknowledged that we treated native Americans horribly.)
I want to genuinely know, is there anything I can be proud of my country for this independence day? (I'm at least happy that we're not socialist or communist.)

If you seriously even have to ask this question, there is no hope for you.

Many Americans have been illegally forbidden from practicing their religion ...

Example? Proof?

Have you been living under a rock for the last 16 months?

Church Sues After Newsom Bans Home Bible Studies: 'The Governor Is Not the High Priest Over All Religions'

A California church is suing Gov. Gavin Newsom for banning all indoor worship services, including Bible studies, and singing, saying the restrictions violate their religious freedom.

www1.cbn.com

I could post similar restrictions all day long but you only asked for a single example.

And was this stupid ban permanent, or a temporary response to the virus?

Please show me the source of any authority the government has to temporarily suspend the very document that created it; it doesn't matter at all that the ban was temporary. Bars were open, strip clubs open, sex shops open, Walmart open. One's religion is fundamental to who they are and is among the most critical human rights in existence; thus its protections are in the very first Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

I'm not a socialist, I actually said in my OP that I'm against socialism. Many on this site need to learn to address what's actually said and not what you assume to be the case.
I'm a centrist who has a mixture of left and right beliefs. Before that, for many years I was a right wing libertarian.

You're a socialist; you're just in denial.

 

[woodwork201]

You are the world's laughing stock and horror.

The world's laughing stock and horror? And yet look at the southern border where all those people are running from all that upward mobility to get here for our racism. Look at all the Chinese, Indians, Russians, Australians, British and other European and Asians who are begging to come here in droves because they're so tired of the upward mobility in their own countries and want to come here where they can be prejudiced against and put in their own places and kept there.

Yes the third world wants to come here, the UK and the rest of the modern world not so much.

Wrong. They all want to come here. Oh, sure, there are American haters in the EU just as there are here in the US but, like those here in the US, most still want to live here.

Kennedy would love Biden as he is going after the same policies that he would. Without the women and the charisma mostly.

Biden just replaced the women with little girls.

 

[woodwork201]

Indian history is frequently written by indians in the modern era, which can hardly be considered accurate.

I'm reminded of the leftist TV show, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. The woman doctor, whenever she had a real moral struggle, would go into the woods where the Indian Chief would bestow wisdom on her like an Asian Indian Guru.. They were all so very, very, wise and always at one with the Mother Earth.

Yeah, no one ever talks about how Indians would routinely burn down forests just to drive prey towards them. "Great hunters" my ass, and certainly not eco friendly like we are constantly led to believe. The reason they lived in teepees was because they werent good enough at hunting. Indians couldnt survive without being nomads who follow a massive herd of buffalo, so they lived in tents that were portable. Following around a 1,000 buffalo herd is hardly a worthy achievement for a hunter.

Because justice, ending racism, and even reparations is not the goal. Destruction of the United States of America's constitution and replacing it with Marxism is the goal.

This is why they've changed the argument from slavery to white privilege. That way, all whites owe all blacks reparations. Sort of like global warming became climate change once it was proven that there's no such thing as global warming. Because the goal is political and not science - neither social or climate - the left will never admit they're wrong and no amount of compromise will shut them up.

 

[woodwork201]

I don't mean this directed at you, we're in agreement. But I do think that reparations are owed. Black slaves totally deserve to be paid. The problem is that the people who owe them are dead and the people they are owed to are dead. I doubt you disagree with that

I barely caught, out of the corner of my eye as I was clicking Reply, your last sentence that prevented this response from being a rant.

I do agree that anyone who was enslaved in the United States should be able to sue those who enslaved them. And there are plenty of slaves in the United States today, enabled and enslaved by Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and the left: sex slaves and others in bondage crossing the border. Sue the Cartels, sue Biden, sue Harris.

NO!

All due to socialist/communist/insurrectionist/anarchist(AntiFa) whom wish to destroy the USA and replace it with a "Mad Max" nothingness.
