Looks like a windfall is coming. I can't believe it took this long to have an entertainer explain the idea to legislators. Who a better than a man who is such a gifted comedic actor? No slaves for ancestors? Well you worthless scum better get out your checkbooks.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

"Any african slaves in your ancestry? "
Naw, just Irish.
Lots of Irish were slaves, one of mine was a slave in North Africa in the early 1600s having been captured by pirates in the English Channel and then sold into slavery according to my aunt he was 16/17 or so at the time and managed to gain his freedom after 20 some years and return home it’s unknown how he did so just that he did In this country we tend to just focus on blacks having been slaves but the truth is they were a very small percentage of the world slave population there were American Indians by the 10s of thousands sold Into slavery around the world along with many Irish and English and other European people many captured through raids on small towns and villages around the world, one of the most famous was where the town of Boston ( not the one in Massachusetts) was raided by Algerian pirates and carried off into slavery Heck if you look at Rome they enslaved much of the known world at one time

Well my dad always said I was most all German with just enough sprinkle of Polish to make it interesting. He said blame the Polish fraction on your mother.. So I think I'd like maybe some compensation from my German side for what it did to my Polish side...Blitzkrieg them I think they did?? I know some nights I lay awake trying to figure it all out..Then their was Grampa in WW1 dropping artillery on our family ancestors.. My uncle in WW2 blowing up possible ancestors on a u-boat?? their buddies possible ancestors return the favor try kill Unc by torpedoing his ship. But in all that smoke and confusion I'm pretty sure none of my family could ever afford slaves??? I don't get it at all..

I'm an excellent dancer, so maybe. I can only dance when I step on a snake - does that count?

Go back in time and many of us came from slave stock at one time or another!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I think they should just be thankful they are here, instead of begging for reparations. If they don't like 'Merica, go back to Africa.
A little gratitude, not begging, is in order.
