Lol! You are the race conscious freak. And you are a fascist race conscious freak. The sellouts you worship are not black conservatives, they are black right wing extremists and the are mentally fucked up with internalized racism. Black conservatives oppose racism, they don't deny it and adopt white racist rhetoric.What Are You Scared of White "Conservatives?"
The same thing black conservatives are afraid of....YOU! commie race conscious freaks....

Incorrect. But the majority of blacks who purchased slaves purched relatives , spouses and their children. Why you think you can tell me about something I alreeady know about is really funny. Now what about all these years after slavery that whites like yourself have continued practicing racism.So I see we have a thread here talking about the African slave traders. But you see, there is no trade if no one buys. There is no slavery in America if it is not made legal by whites.
America did not have to have slavery. Whites here chose to. By making that choice, you cannot now try blaming Africans for the choice your ancestors made. Furthermore the choice to continue treating blacks as second class citizens after slavery completely removes African complocity.
"A nation is a choice. It chooses itself at fateful forks in the road by turning left or right, by giving up something or taking something -- and in the giving up and the taking, in the deciding and not deciding, the nation becomes. And ever afterwards, the nation and the people who make up the nation are defined by the fork and by the decision that was made there, as well as by the decision that was not made there. For the decision, once made, engraves itself into the landscape, engraves itself into things, into institutions, nerves, muscles, tendons; and the first decision requires a second decision, and the second decision requires a third, and it goes on and on, spiraling in an inexorable processus which distorts everything and alienates everybody.
America became America that way. Fork by fork, step by step, option by option, America or, to be more precise, the men who spoke in the name of America decided that it was going to be a white place defined negatively by the bodies and the blood of the reds and the blacks. And that decision, which was made in the 1660s and elaborated over a two-hundred-year period, foreclosed certain possibilities in America -- perhaps forever -- and set off depth charges that are still echoing and re-echoing in the commonwealth. What makes this all the more mournful is that it didn't have to happen that way. There was another road -- but that road wasn't taken. In the beginning, as we have seen, there was no race problem in America. The race problem in America was a deliberate invention of men who systematically separated blacks and whites in order to make money. This was, as Kenneth Stampp so cogently observed, a deliberate choice among several alternatives. Slavery, he said, "cannot be attributed to some deadly atmospheric miasma or some irresistible force in the South's economic evolution. The use of slaves in southern agriculture was a deliberate choice (among several alternatives) made by men who sought greater returns than they could obtain from their own labor alone, and who found other types of labor " more expensive. ...
It didn't have to happen that way. Back there, before Jim Crow, before the invention of the Negro or the white man or the words and concepts to describe them, the Colonial population consisted largely of a great mass of white and black bondsmen, who occupied roughly the same economic category and were treated with equal contempt by the lords of the plantations and legislatures. Curiously unconcerned about their color, these people worked together and relaxed together. They had essentially the same interests, the same aspirations, arid the same grievances. They conspired together and waged a common struggle against their common enemy -- the big planter apparatus and a social system that legalized terror against black and white bondsmen. No one says and no one believes that there was a Garden of Eden in Colonial America. But the available evidence, slight though it is, suggests that there were widening bonds of solidarity between the first generation of blacks and whites. And the same evidence indicates that it proved very difficult indeed to teach white people to worship their skin.
All this began to change drastically in the sixth decade of the seventeenth century .The decade of the 1660s: this was the first great fork in the making of black America. For it was at this fork that certain men decided to ground the American economic system on human slavery. To understand that great fork, one must understand first the roads leading to it -- roads that were not taken."
Africans did not do this. Africans did not decide for white colonists that blacks would be slaves. But in the rush to try discrediting the 1619 project, the Wall Street Journal writes a story and every racist here wants to cosign it.
But the 1619 Project is about AMERICAN HISTORY, not Europe and so here we will start with Pt. 1

On October 24, 2013, the Kellogg Foundation sent out a press release about a report they had done entitled, “The Business Case for Racial Equity”. This was a study done by the Kellogg Foundation, using information it had studied and assessed from the Center for American Progress, National Urban League Policy Institute, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies and the U.S. Department of Justice.
“Striving for racial equity – a world where race is no longer a factor in the distribution of opportunity – is a matter of social justice. But moving toward racial equity can generate significant economic returns as well. When people face barriers to achieving their full potential, the loss of talent, creativity, energy, and productivity is a burden not only for those disadvantaged, but for communities, businesses, governments, and the economy as a whole. Initial research on the magnitude of this burden in the United States (U.S.), as highlighted in this brief, reveals impacts in the trillions of dollars in lost earnings, avoidable public expenditures, and lost economic output.”

In 2011, DEMOS did a study named “The Racial Wealth Gap, Why Policy Matters”, which discussed the racial wealth gap, the problems associated with it along with solutions and outcomes if the gap did not exist. In this study DEMOS determined that the racial wealth gap was primarily driven by policy decisions.
“The U.S. racial wealth gap is substantial and is driven by public policy decisions. According to our analysis of the SIPP data, in 2011 the median white household had $111,146 in wealth holdings, compared to just $7,113 for the median Black household and $8,348 for the median Latino household. From the continuing impact of redlining on American homeownership to the retreat from desegregation in public education, public policy has shaped these disparities, leaving them impossible to overcome without racially-aware policy change.”

“Racial inequality in the United States today may, ultimately, be based on slavery, but it is also based on the failure of the country to take effective steps since slavery to undermine the structural racial inequality that slavery put in place. From the latter part of the nineteenth century through the first half of the twentieth century, the Jim Crow system continued to keep Blacks “in their place,” and even during and after the civil rights era no policies were adopted to dismantle the racial hierarchy that already existed.”

“It will end up costing the U.S. economy as much as $1 trillion between now and 2028 for the nation to maintain its longstanding black-white racial wealth gap, according to a report released this month from the global consultancy firm McKinsey & Company. That will be roughly 4 percent of the United States GDP in 2028—just the conservative view, assuming that the wealth growth rates of African Americans will outpace white wealth growth at its current clip of 3 percent to .8 percent annually, said McKinsey. If the gap widens, however, with white wealth growing at a faster rate than black wealth instead, it could end up costing the U.S. $1.5 trillion or 6 percent of GDP according to the firm.”

Why this is just a bunch of liberal jibberish to to black in order to keep them voting democrat. Those aren't the problems, what we conservatives tell you is the real problem. Why if you just had a father in the home none of this would happen.
Black Workers Still Earn Less than Their White Counterparts
As employers in the U.S. tackle issues around racism, fresh attention is being given to the racial wage gap and why black men and women, in particular, still earn substantially less than their white counterparts. Nearly 56 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, "we find equal pay for equal work is still not a reality," noted Jackson Gruver, a data analyst at compensation data and software firm PayScale.
Last year, PayScale analyzed differences in earnings between white men and men of color using data from a sample of 1.8 million employees surveyed between January 2017 and February 2019.
Among the findings, Gruver reported: "Even as black or African-American men climb the corporate ladder, they still make less than equally qualified white men. They are the only racial/ethnic group that does not achieve pay parity with white men at some level."
The study found that black men had the largest "uncontrolled pay gap" relative to white men, when comparing the average earnings of black men and white men in the U.S.
On average, black men earned 87 cents for every dollar a white man earned. Hispanic workers had the next largest gap, earning 91 cents for every dollar earned by white men.

To put that in perspective, the median salary of a white man in our sample is $72,900; the controlled median pay for black or African-American men is thus $71,500," Gruver said. "This suggests a $1,400 difference in pay that is likely attributable to race."
So daddy lives at home and the family still makes less than whites. Because:
NWLC calculations, based on the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey for 2016, revealed that when comparing all men and women who work full time, year-round in the U.S., women were paid just 80 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts. But the wage gap was even larger when looking specifically at black women who work full time, year-round—they were paid only 63 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men.
Stephen Miller, Black Workers Still Earn Less than Their White Counterparts, www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/compensation/pages/racial-wage-gaps-persistence-poses-challenge.aspx
So a white working couple will make 90 cents on every dollar while a black working couple makes 75 cents. To allow you to understand this reality a white female worker makes 80 cents on every dollar a white man makes. White females are demanding equal pay and rightfully so.
And you black folk really need to start taking education seriously.
Black unemployment is significantly higher than white unemployment regardless of educational attainment
The black unemployment rate is nearly or more than twice the white unemployment rate regardless of educational attainment. It is, and always has been, about twice the white unemployment rate; however, the depth of this racial inequality in the labor market rarely makes the headlines.
Over the last 12 months, the average unemployment rate for black college graduates has been 4.1 percent—nearly two times the average unemployment rate for white college graduates (2.4 percent) and equivalent to the unemployment rate of whites with an associate’s degree or who have not completed college (4.0 percent). The largest disparity is seen among those with less than a high school diploma: while whites with less than a high school diploma have an unemployment rate of 6.9 percent, the black unemployment rate is 16.6 percent—over two times the white average.
The broader significance of this disparity suggests a race penalty whereby blacks at each level of education have unemployment rates that are the same as or higher than less educated whites.
Valerie Wilson, Black unemployment is significantly higher than white unemployment regardless of educational attainment, www.epi.org/publication/black-unemployment-educational-attainment/
African Americans are paid less than whites at every education level
While the economy continues to improve and wages are finally beginning to inch up for most Americans, African Americans are still being paid less than whites at every education level. As you can see from the chart below, while a college education results in higher wages—both for whites and blacks—it does not eliminate the black-white wage gap. African Americans are still earning less than whites at every level of educational attainment. A recent EPI report, Black-white wage gaps expand with rising wage inequality, shows that this gap persists even after controlling for years of experience, region of the country, and whether one lives in an urban or rural area. In fact, since 1979, the gaps between black and white workers have grown the most among workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher—the most educated workers.

He named BLM. He gave the money to Acorn to pass on to you. He has you bought and paid for. You are doing exactly what he has paid for you to do.
You have voluntarily enslaved yourself to a white man. And you damage your own country in doing so...
No kilt boy that's not how it went and furthermore reparations are not just about slavery.The blacks themselves played as big a part in the slave trade as the white folk did - but that's swept under the carpet as it doesn't fit the self-loathing narrative.
What's wrong with everyone just agreeing that it was a terrible time in history, consign it to the past (where it belongs) and ensuring it never happens again (and then focus on modern slavery in other countries which is rife but no-one seems to want to talk about).
Black's, pro-black pressure groups and lefty white folk in America that clap on about repatriations for ancestors of the American slaves should stfu and accept it doesn't work that way. In fact, they should be grateful their ancestors were slaves hundreds of years ago because if they weren't, they'd, this moment be out in Africa bushes having sex with monkey's, catching aids/ebola, drinking dirty water and putting folk from neighbouring villages in pots to eat for supper.
So I see we have a thread here talking about the African slave traders. But you see, there is no trade if no one buys. There is no slavery in America if it is not made legal by whites.
America did not have to have slavery. Whites here chose to. By making that choice, you cannot now try blaming Africans for the choice your ancestors made. Furthermore the choice to continue treating blacks as second class citizens after slavery completely removes African complocity.

“It will end up costing the U.S. economy as much as $1 trillion between now and 2028 for the nation to maintain its longstanding black-white racial wealth gap, according to a report released this month from the global consultancy firm McKinsey & Company. That will be roughly 4 percent of the United States GDP in 2028—just the conservative view, assuming that the wealth growth rates of African Americans will outpace white wealth growth at its current clip of 3 percent to .8 percent annually, said McKinsey. If the gap widens, however, with white wealth growing at a faster rate than black wealth instead, it could end up costing the U.S. $1.5 trillion or 6 percent of GDP according to the firm.”

Why this is just a bunch of liberal jibberish to to black in order to keep them voting democrat. Those aren't the problems, what we conservatives tell you is the real problem. Why if you just had a father in the home none of this would happen.
Black Workers Still Earn Less than Their White Counterparts
As employers in the U.S. tackle issues around racism, fresh attention is being given to the racial wage gap and why black men and women, in particular, still earn substantially less than their white counterparts. Nearly 56 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, "we find equal pay for equal work is still not a reality," noted Jackson Gruver, a data analyst at compensation data and software firm PayScale.
Last year, PayScale analyzed differences in earnings between white men and men of color using data from a sample of 1.8 million employees surveyed between January 2017 and February 2019.
Among the findings, Gruver reported: "Even as black or African-American men climb the corporate ladder, they still make less than equally qualified white men. They are the only racial/ethnic group that does not achieve pay parity with white men at some level."
The study found that black men had the largest "uncontrolled pay gap" relative to white men, when comparing the average earnings of black men and white men in the U.S.
On average, black men earned 87 cents for every dollar a white man earned. Hispanic workers had the next largest gap, earning 91 cents for every dollar earned by white men.

To put that in perspective, the median salary of a white man in our sample is $72,900; the controlled median pay for black or African-American men is thus $71,500," Gruver said. "This suggests a $1,400 difference in pay that is likely attributable to race."
So daddy lives at home and the family still makes less than whites. Because:
NWLC calculations, based on the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey for 2016, revealed that when comparing all men and women who work full time, year-round in the U.S., women were paid just 80 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts. But the wage gap was even larger when looking specifically at black women who work full time, year-round—they were paid only 63 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men.
Stephen Miller, Black Workers Still Earn Less than Their White Counterparts, www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/compensation/pages/racial-wage-gaps-persistence-poses-challenge.aspx
So a white working couple will make 90 cents on every dollar while a black working couple makes 75 cents. To allow you to understand this reality a white female worker makes 80 cents on every dollar a white man makes. White females are demanding equal pay and rightfully so.
And you black folk really need to start taking education seriously.
Black unemployment is significantly higher than white unemployment regardless of educational attainment
The black unemployment rate is nearly or more than twice the white unemployment rate regardless of educational attainment. It is, and always has been, about twice the white unemployment rate; however, the depth of this racial inequality in the labor market rarely makes the headlines.
Over the last 12 months, the average unemployment rate for black college graduates has been 4.1 percent—nearly two times the average unemployment rate for white college graduates (2.4 percent) and equivalent to the unemployment rate of whites with an associate’s degree or who have not completed college (4.0 percent). The largest disparity is seen among those with less than a high school diploma: while whites with less than a high school diploma have an unemployment rate of 6.9 percent, the black unemployment rate is 16.6 percent—over two times the white average.
The broader significance of this disparity suggests a race penalty whereby blacks at each level of education have unemployment rates that are the same as or higher than less educated whites.

African Americans are paid less than whites at every education level
While the economy continues to improve and wages are finally beginning to inch up for most Americans, African Americans are still being paid less than whites at every education level. As you can see from the chart below, while a college education results in higher wages—both for whites and blacks—it does not eliminate the black-white wage gap. African Americans are still earning less than whites at every level of educational attainment. A recent EPI report, Black-white wage gaps expand with rising wage inequality, shows that this gap persists even after controlling for years of experience, region of the country, and whether one lives in an urban or rural area. In fact, since 1979, the gaps between black and white workers have grown the most among workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher—the most educated workers.

He named BLM. He gave the money to Acorn to pass on to you. He has you bought and paid for. You are doing exactly what he has paid for you to do.
You have voluntarily enslaved yourself to a white man. And you damage your own country in doing so...
The vast majority of slaves were not bought by Americans, they went to South America and the Caribbean.So I see we have a thread here talking about the African slave traders. But you see, there is no trade if no one buys. There is no slavery in America if it is not made legal by whites.
America did not have to have slavery. Whites here chose to. By making that choice, you cannot now try blaming Africans for the choice your ancestors made. Furthermore the choice to continue treating blacks as second class citizens after slavery completely removes African complocity.
"A nation is a choice. It chooses itself at fateful forks in the road by turning left or right, by giving up something or taking something -- and in the giving up and the taking, in the deciding and not deciding, the nation becomes. And ever afterwards, the nation and the people who make up the nation are defined by the fork and by the decision that was made there, as well as by the decision that was not made there. For the decision, once made, engraves itself into the landscape, engraves itself into things, into institutions, nerves, muscles, tendons; and the first decision requires a second decision, and the second decision requires a third, and it goes on and on, spiraling in an inexorable processus which distorts everything and alienates everybody.
America became America that way. Fork by fork, step by step, option by option, America or, to be more precise, the men who spoke in the name of America decided that it was going to be a white place defined negatively by the bodies and the blood of the reds and the blacks. And that decision, which was made in the 1660s and elaborated over a two-hundred-year period, foreclosed certain possibilities in America -- perhaps forever -- and set off depth charges that are still echoing and re-echoing in the commonwealth. What makes this all the more mournful is that it didn't have to happen that way. There was another road -- but that road wasn't taken. In the beginning, as we have seen, there was no race problem in America. The race problem in America was a deliberate invention of men who systematically separated blacks and whites in order to make money. This was, as Kenneth Stampp so cogently observed, a deliberate choice among several alternatives. Slavery, he said, "cannot be attributed to some deadly atmospheric miasma or some irresistible force in the South's economic evolution. The use of slaves in southern agriculture was a deliberate choice (among several alternatives) made by men who sought greater returns than they could obtain from their own labor alone, and who found other types of labor " more expensive. ...
It didn't have to happen that way. Back there, before Jim Crow, before the invention of the Negro or the white man or the words and concepts to describe them, the Colonial population consisted largely of a great mass of white and black bondsmen, who occupied roughly the same economic category and were treated with equal contempt by the lords of the plantations and legislatures. Curiously unconcerned about their color, these people worked together and relaxed together. They had essentially the same interests, the same aspirations, arid the same grievances. They conspired together and waged a common struggle against their common enemy -- the big planter apparatus and a social system that legalized terror against black and white bondsmen. No one says and no one believes that there was a Garden of Eden in Colonial America. But the available evidence, slight though it is, suggests that there were widening bonds of solidarity between the first generation of blacks and whites. And the same evidence indicates that it proved very difficult indeed to teach white people to worship their skin.
All this began to change drastically in the sixth decade of the seventeenth century .The decade of the 1660s: this was the first great fork in the making of black America. For it was at this fork that certain men decided to ground the American economic system on human slavery. To understand that great fork, one must understand first the roads leading to it -- roads that were not taken."
Africans did not do this. Africans did not decide for white colonists that blacks would be slaves. But in the rush to try discrediting the 1619 project, the Wall Street Journal writes a story and every racist here wants to cosign it.
But the 1619 Project is about AMERICAN HISTORY, not Europe and so here we will start with Pt. 1
America Wasn’t a Democracy, Until Black Americans Made It One (Published 2019)
Our founding ideals of liberty and equality were false when they were written. For generations, black Americans have fought to make them true.
You are the moron and racist. Another one too scared to read the link.Delusional race conscious lying whites like you are a joke.What Are You Scared of White "Conservatives?"
The same thing black conservatives are afraid of....YOU! commie race conscious freaks....
Moronic racist blacks, like you, are a disease.
Whites don’t owe you a dime. You will never collect a dime. Any president that tries to pay reparations will be impeached, convicted and removed from office. The democrats pander to you, but even idiots like that understand the consequences of attempting to pay reparations. I’m assuming by the “ultimate decider” you mean god or nature. Well here’s a news flash for you, god or nature doesn’t care about you and your stupid ideas. You get out of life what you put into it, and that’s all.We are here because of whites like you. No election was stolen and the only people trying to rule are those like you. You owe us money, and since everybody else has been repaid and that you will never stop paying native Americans it's time the debt you owe us got settled. It's just that simple. We will get what we are owed or the ultimate decider will destroy this country. It is written and all your talk doesn't change the penalty for not following that moral law.
Well, unless we see one walking on the side of the road like they do.IM, You say that a lot. That whites are scared. Whites go about our business without one thought of being afraid. You want us to be afraid of you, but you don't even enter our thoughts throughout the day.
Sorry...
The government owes us money. That's the way it is. All your bloviation doesn't change that. If democrats pander to blacks, republicans pander to white racists. You are evidence of that. Here's a newsflash for you, America is increasingly getting fucked up by more and more natural disasters. That's God working son. The American government will pay reparations or it will pay trillions in fixing damage from natural disasters and pandemics until the government does what is right.Whites don’t owe you a dime. You will never collect a dime. Any president that tries to pay reparations will be impeached, convicted and removed from office. The democrats pander to you, but even idiots like that understand the consequences of attempting to pay reparations. I’m assuming by the “ultimate decider” you mean god or nature.

Never have said that, cracker.Says the ignorant blue gum who has said that every white person is a white supremacist...
The vast majority of slaves were not bought by Americans, they went to South America and the Caribbean.
Whites did this. Thats why republcan whites tried making slavery constitutional. This is not about you feeling guilty about others, it is about your role in continuing the same racism.The Atlantic Slave Trade was outlawed in 1808 in America, as per federal law.
But the fact that libs of All races disregarded that law isn't the fault of modern honkies whose ancestors were chilling in central Europe at the time of the events.
I refuse to feel guilty about what other people who have no other connection to me except they are part of the same anthropological classification as me.
If that makes me a "racist" so be it. But I don't expect black Americans to feel guilty about the atrocities of the Moors or of modern sadist Abdullah the Butcher either, even though they are black.
I bring up race because you racists post your bullshit. You seem too think a reaction to racism is racism. That's where you go off track, because I am no racist, but to whites like you me showing whites what they actually do is racism.I never bring up race here....you do....I defend against stupidity and racists of all colors....you are so stupid that you think blacks can't be racist....that's where you go off track....so anything you think from that point on is assbackwards and skewed.....of course blacks can be racist....just listen to yourself....
Yes it is. And I say white conservatives are scared of blacks because you are. And don't lie about what whites don't think about. This forum is evidence of just how much racist whites like yourself think about black people.Sadly, it's not...
I might not like it. But perhaps destruction is better. The Western Hemisphere in a world that has had a good percentage of it in a war footing, is overdue. We have many problems. A percentage of it in poverty. With a lot of drug empires and powerful local and regional families. Reducing the populations of nations, especially in the worst areas would bring some peace after the devastation. Because of the lack of wars, we have many aged costing a lot of money. Many that are sickly, costing a lot of money. And many with little education and useless, costing a lot of money. Sounds harsh. Other areas of the world have experienced this many many times. Globalists would approve of it. And you are a globalist.The government owes us money. That's the way it is. All your bloviation doesn't change that. If democrats pander to blacks, republicans pander to white racists. You are evidence of that. Here's a newsflash for you, America is increasingly getting fucked up by more and more natural disasters. That's God working son. The American government will pay reparations or it will pay trillions in fixing damage from natural disasters and pandemics until the government does what is right.
Bitch, blacks made America rich by our free labor. Bitch, once freed, blacks paid taxes to fund programs that benefitted whites that blacks were excluded from. Whites like you have mooched off the black, hispanic, and asian dime long enough.
American will pay reparations or America will be destroyed. You better look around at what's going on white boy, these natural disasters aren't fucking up any hoods. Those west coast fires aren't burning any hoods. That flood in tennessee did not destroy any hoods. You better recognize!
You have what, about 5 people who regularly give you the same knee-jerk reactions and from that you think you know what white conservatives think? Your arrogance is stunning.Tell that lie elswhere because this forum shows me a different story.
