Where are you finding Japanese food out in those mesquites ol’ hand ?

I hope you guys aren't trying to make light of slavery.

I didn't say we owe anyone anything except equality.

Where the logical person meets the person with hyper-awareness-feelings-about-goodness-only-knows...
There's gonna be tension.

Savell,

He's a border patrol agent in real life, trading national secrets for chaluuuuuu-pas.

... and 40 acres and one of those low grade kiotes?

And I understand different groups within that broad definition hate each other's guts.

Don't blame the U.S. Each State back then made their own choice, The Feds had no power to ban slavery in States. Blame each State who allowed slavery not the U.S.

What about people who have inherited wealth or property from former slaveowners? Should their assets, to the extent they can be traced, be taken for compensation to the descendants of slaves, who after all may have inherited property of their own if their ancestors had been paid wages?

I understand the arguments for it, but I don't favor reparations at public expense.

Jim

I forgot about the forty acres and a mule promised to former slaves by the US Congress and president. Aren't the promises of the USA any good?

Jim

Would you say that Kaine is an average representative of your party?

Goodness James.
In the name of non-equality, and we don't talk about that, modern day slavery is prevalent and growing, in our country and worldwide.
I struggle to fathom why so much effort to dismantle history. Will that solve today's ills?

My party? I'm not a member of the Democratic Party.

Just because I'm a liberal by the standards here doesn't make me a Democrat.

Jim

... I come from former slave owners... and all that wealth and property (a few acres for fighting for Texas Independence) was lost between reconstruction and the depression as is the case with many here...

....But shouldn’t the ability to enjoy .. I don’t know.. (let’s start with running water and jock itch cream)... be deducted from said reparations totals ?

... y’all hands type fast in here lol

... naw leftlane I don’t get out of this pine country much.... and what I’m the jumped up (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) is a goro? Lol

Going by the logic by some on this subject shouldn't whites as well as blacks pack our bags and leave this country to the native Americans .

Which ones.... I don’t think a clear winner was declared until we joined the fight

.... I’m calling the Blackfoot tribe interim champions while I pack up

You trying to say you came from blue-blooded aristocracy and not from some sharecropper that lived on a place that was a graveyard for automobiles where at the end of the porch there was four stacks of wheels and tires for sale for a dollar or two....cash?
