Rep Al Green: We Honored Confederate Soldiers With a Congressional Gold Medal, We Cannot Do Less for the Enslaved, we even enslaved babies in America

[basquebromance]

I get blamed for whites once owning slaves because I'm white. Over half a million white people died to free black slaves. Why don't I get a thank you for that because I'm white?

 

[struth]

sure, we should

 

[Moonglow]

Did you die?

 

[basquebromance]

Did you die?

my dad did. i'm the son of a martyr. he died in the Lebanese civil war

no George Santos shenanigans here, this is a real thing

 

[basquebromance]

we need to revere the slavers, not the enslavers, my friends!

 

[Esdraelon]

Did you die?

No, and NO ONE alive today who is bitching and moaning with their hands out, always for more, more, knew anyone who died. If they want more cheddah they should move to Cali.

this is about dignity, and this about what Maya Angelou described as "the hopes and dreams of a slave"

Try being a slave for ten years and then try supporting that statement.

Today we have made the taxpayers slaves. If only all the resources taken were used in an honest manner just to start. 87,000 newly minted IRS agents as gifts to us working class/retiree peasants to make the gifts that keep on taking go deeper into our wallets. We want reparations.

Shouldn't we be doing this for all peoples enslaved during the history of mankind's control of the planet?

All those white people would certainly appreciate it.

Big Al Green's objective is making you feel guilty. He does not care about the truth.

We already gave them 50 years of racial preferences with Affirmative Action and millions $ in special grants for Blacks only.

 

[Anathema]

I’m urectgis will surprise many, but I’m totally in favor of reparations; on ONE condition…

That’s the end of it. No more affirmative action, quotas, preferential standards, etc… for the Afro-American community.
