White Texas Pastor Breaks Down How Slavery Was a ‘Blessing’ To Black Folks

[Superbadbrutha]

Your stupidity is growing indeed. I did not compare the two, I stated that women were denied equal treatment. I’m not talking about the horrendous years of slavery. Why is it so difficult for you to see that other people have been treated unfairly, not just black people. It’s pretty disgusting that you are only concerned with being compensated for something you didn’t endure and have zero concern with what anyone other than blacks went through.

Slavery? How about the horrendous years AFTER slavery. Those other folks were given reparations, retribution, etc. I grew up at the back end of Jim Crow, WTF do you mean something I didn't endure. See most racist whites don't understand what it is like to be denied certain things or can't do certain things or go certain places because of the color of your skin. You loved ones could be murdered and the folks responsible had no fear of the Law, because they were a part of it or turned a blind eye to it. So save that bullshit about something I never endured.

Just put some greatness in sciences, technology, industrial leaders creating millions of jobs. There are none. This is important.

See this is what happens when you are taught only whites have invented, discovered or created.

Go study some real history instead of his-story.

Most of your “real” history is fiction. Yes there have been many great black people, inventors, financiers, clergy, philosophers, and others, but thousands of times that Whites, Latinos and Asians.

Like I said, women were denied equal rights but it was okay to treat women badly if they were white. Even today, whites can be murdered for being in the wrong neighborhoods. I am not making light of what black people endured but you ignore anyone else who isn’t/wasn’t black. You can stop using the term racist just because I disagree with you. I have zero hatred for people of other races. Just because treatment toward black people and women may not have been the same the treatment was wrong and very degrading. So, I’m not comparing, I’m stating that others have suffered too.

Are you kidding me? White women have suffered nothing on the level that black women have. Racist fits you just fine, native Americans, eskimoes, Japanese Americans, former slave owners, etc. have rec'd reparations for injustices suffered in this country, but when it comes to black folks you make ever excuse in the world. America has given Israel over 240 billion dollars since WWII, why?

And there was not a damned thing keeping blacks in the segregated south. Millions moved to the North, West and even Canada where segregation was never applied. I think segregation was a horror, but there were ways to avoid it.

Nothing but money and a means to move. This has to be one of the most ignorant post I have read. It would be like me saying Jewish folks could have avoided the Holocaust, that's asinine.

I didn’t make excuses and your definition of racist is anyone who disagrees with you. IF there are people still alive today that suffered because of our government, not individual racists, they would deserve compensation. I also told you I wasn’t making comparisons but you are short sighted. Ask the government why they gave money to Israel, again you feel it is the fault of every white person when the government makes decisions, which I don’t always agree with.

The Gov't was responsible for redlining, Jim Crow Laws, denial of benefits to black WWII veterans, allowing black folks FHA loans, eminent domain of black folks homes and property, etc. and many of those black folks are alive today.

Many Jews DID emigrate to avoid the Holocaust. The ones that didn't mostly lacked foresight on how bad things would get or waited until the Nazis prevented emigration of Jews. Moving is easy when you have little or nothing. Hundreds of thousands of poor whites did it during the Dust Bowl years. Most ended up on the West Coast. Poor people have migrated all through history on every continent. Hundreds of thousands of blacks did it during WWII to work in northern defense factories and shipyards. So don't try to pull that "poor me" crap on me.

Most of those were business decisions made by individual companies. Red Lining was the result of banks experiencing large mortgage losses in minority neighborhoods, NOT governmental actions. The lack of "redlining" was what caused the mortgage crisis in 2008. Banks were making loans to people who they KNEW would default because of regulatory pressures from the government to make loans to minorities regardless of ability to pay or credit histories. I am White and I was offered a loan three times what I considered my ability to repay was in those days. I refused it, bought a smaller house and didn't lose it. The people who were greedy enough or stupid enough to be conned into larger loans lost their shirts and the banks packaged those sub-prime loans and sold them off. Eminent domain takings affected the poor of all races, not just blacks. The land taken for Dodger Stadium was taken from mostly Whites with some Latinos. Blacks didn't live in Chavez Ravine in those days.

From 1862 to 1986, the United States government ran a homestead program that gave 2,992,058 white settlers and European immigrants (both documented and undocumented) a minimum of 160 acres of land from the Mississippi River to the West coast of America, including the Alaskan territory. Authorized by the Homestead Act of 1862, this land giveaway program ended for all participating states in 1976 and ended for land awards in Alaska in 1986.

During the 1930s, federal programs such as the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (created in 1933) and the Federal Housing Administration (created in 1934) were established to encourage widespread home ownership and suburban development by making home loans and mortgages affordable. However, neighbourhoods that were mixed-race or predominantly African American did not benefit from those programs, because their credit was considered high-risk.

In 1948 the U.S. Supreme Court, in the case Shelley v. Kraemer, ruled that courts could not enforce racially restrictive practices.

Lack of redlining? Dude take your hood off sometime.

Citing eminent domain, the government forced Black landowners in Alexandria and Arlington to sell. Large apartment communities were built for white defense workers, such as Fairlington Village (reportedly the largest apartment complex in the country) and Chinquapin Village in Alexandria. A private company built Parkfairfax, where a restrictive covenant barred Black residents.

Eminent domain displaced historic Black communities, Notably, in February of 1942, in order to build the Pentagon and its surrounding roads, the federal government condemned East Arlington, giving the residents less than a month to evacuate.

Queen City, another nearby Black community, was razed at the same time to free up land next to the Pentagon for a cloverleaf to help commuters access nearby Washington Boulevard and Columbia Pike.

Successful black communities across this country were destroyed under the guise of eminent domain. That is fact.

Cherry-pick away. Eminent domain has been used far more against Whites than Blacks. And not being allowed to make loans based upon credit history and using race instead is certainly a LACK of redlining.

Many thousands of blacks also took advantage of that program. There are family farms owned by blacks today on the Great Plains that were awarded by that program. There was even a special program for blacks in the south that awarded lands seized from Indian tribes to ex-slaves. But you will never admit to that will you?

Post those programs, don't talk about it, be about it.
