That wasnt promised by the congress or president if I remember right. It was promised by Tecumseh Sherman to a group of slaves along the SC or GA coast.

I think the descendants of the northern textile owners should surrender property and wealth to families of former slaves. After all if it weren't for those textile owners lust for money and power, which was derived from cotton grew in the south, there wouldn't have been a reason for slavery.

Yes sir. The best number we have is 306,000 slaves were brought here form Africa. 6 million went to Brazil!!! Since slavery ended 2 million blacks have immigrated here. I can’t believe 2 million would want to come to such a terrible place like this. Lol

Don't forget about sugar. The Caribbean and the US southern regions grew the "cane." The Brits took their enslaved to their Caribbean island territories. Sugar barons were as prosperous as lumber barons in that era, and all were some of the wealthiest in the world at that time.

Anybody got a past relative that enjoyed sugar?

James, I respectability disagree with you. The word equality makes me very nervous. When people are made equal Liberty is lost. That’s the fight between left and right. This Contry was founded on Liberty. France in part was founded on equality. Yes we are all equal in Gods eyes, but the liberty we have sets each individual apart. With liberty you have the freedom to pursue all life has no matter the color of your skin.

Equality under the law is good thing to strive for. I don't see how anybody can say people are equal any other way. If we were all equal every other way the olympics would always end in a tie and jeopardy would have lasted two days instead of decades.

If equality is all they are looking for should we do away with the preferential treat they currently enjoy?

To the best of my knowledge there are laws on the books that grant them equality.

You can’t legislate everybody “liking you.” I am extremely prejudice towards my neighbors. I don’t even wave to them when we pass on the road. What do they have in common? They are criminals and the whole bunch are white as cotton.

Exactly Danny! The leftist push for equality and use of the word equality is the key to there movement. Here’s a great example.

2 kids immigrate to America. One from Africa one from China. As the go through school everything about the two is identical. They both graduate with honors and have the same SAT or ACT test scores. They both apply to Harvard. The young black man has 256 points added to his SAT score. The young Chinese man has 50 deducted from his score. All in the name of equality!! They are now equal in Harvard’s eyes but the Chinese man has lost something. Equality destroys Liberty

And yes Harvard like many does this to equalize admissions.

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

Jim


Would you use the value back then or now?

Would room and board, meals and medical expenses be deducted from the final tally?

Sometime, somewhere, I'm sure I have an ancestor or two that were wronged by someone. I demand to be compensated.

I think that equality works both ways ... they don't want to live in Africa like the animals... then stop acting like animals here. They are not the king of the jungle, here or there.

I said it a little differently. I said his problem was that his mouth went into gear before his brain did.
