But they’re not voting for opportunity they’re voting for slavery why not just give it to them here’s money work here’s a house work here is healthcare work. And he’s a whip if you don’t wanna work.. Give them what they wantThey’re human beings and legal citizens of the United States. You don’t “ do anything” with them. It’s their choice. They deserve the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.My question to you is.. what do we do with black people? You are letting democrats destroy your community, than you vote for them. What do we do with suck a low iq base?BS.No, you damn liar. They put forth a re-worded amendment.Republicans introduced this amendment and it would have made slavery a constitutional right. Just face the truth. Your last paragraph is a joke since the majority of every form of welfare has gone to whites.Many "Republicans" in this forum are truly dishonest people.
The Corwin Amendment
The Corwin Amendment, also called the “Slavery Amendment,” was a constitutional amendment passed by Congress in 1861 but never ratified by the states that would have banned the federal government from abolishing the institution of slavery in the states where it existed at the time. Considering it a last-ditch effort to prevent the looming Civil War, supporters of the Corwin Amendment hoped it would prevent the southern states that had not already done so from seceding from the Union. Ironically, Abraham Lincoln did not oppose the measure.
The operative section of the Corwin Amendment states:
“No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State.”
In referring to enslavement as “domestic institutions” and “persons held to labor or service,” rather than by the specific word “slavery,” the amendment reflects wording in the draft of the Constitution considered by delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which referred to enslaved people as “Person held to Service."

How the Corwin Amendment of 1861 Would Have Protected Enslavement
In 1861, Congress proposed a constitutional amendment to protect enslavement. What was the Corwin Amendment and did Lincoln actually endorse it?www.thoughtco.com
Senator William H. Seward and Representative Thomas Corwin introduced the Corwin Amendment, both were republicans.
First you lead with Republicans are dishonest people, and right away I know you're projecting right.
But then you go onto validate my first instinct by blaming Republicans for slavery when you know very well it was YOUR party of preference that made slavery part of their daily lives. And that's ironic, because today PROGS make racism part of their daily lives.
The party of slavery only changed tactics. Tell blacks again how they're victims and should be pitied. Show them how families aren't important because welfare is an adequate replacement aimed to keep blacks in their place. Give blacks another reason to destroy their own communities. That's your Demonicrats in a nutshell.
We were republicans for more than 100 years. We got jim crow. Not opportunity. Now shut your white ass up.
