Ask Democrats. They're the ones blocking Black children's access to school vouchers and a shot at a better chance in life. They're the ones keeping Black kids trapped in inferior public schools. They're the ones keeping Blacks under-educated, and therefore socioeconomically oppressed and necessarily disproportionately dependent on public assistance programs ...all to guarantee votes for Democrats.

"It's not burn baby burn, but learn baby learn, so that you can earn baby earn." - Dr. MLK, Jr.

Democrats resist that. For votes. How pathetic.

You are so full of crap its launching out of your ears at high pressure.

I bought my land. I took nothing.

What is that something I get without paying the cost? Please enlighten me.

All you want is "free" money to assuage your faux outrage.

Damn right I keep what I bought. And it damned sure as hell wouldn't be any slave. Too much upkeep, too expensive like a high dollar *****.

Please stop getting your information from Stormfront.
You have no clue. He was an indentured Servant who was freed and given some land. He in turn got himself some indentured servants and when it was time to free them he took it to court and said he OWNED them and won. That ushered in the slavery you all hate. Yup, by a black man!!!!

Would new taxes be required? Would only whites pay this "reparation tax"? What if my parents were inter-racial? Would I only get half? What if my ancestors actually owned slaves? Would I have to pay the new tax? I was then sent some articles to read on how reparations were given to other races and it worked. Am I waiting on reparations? No. I went ahead and got an Engineering degree instead. But if they do come, drinks on me.
Well done, sir. Well done! You heeded Dr. MLK, Jr's words.

If you want to get out of this mire, you have to be willing to let it go.
I do not have a racialized view of the world.....just America since the vast majority of its history has been racialized. Actions produce reactions. I am saying why is America, if not "white America", intransigent to solve a problem that it essentially created? If America did not create the problem...then who did?

People in the PAST did the TAKING....making it available to capitalism....to then sell at a profit. The fact that you did not take it does not mean that you are not benefiting from what was taken.

Yes, that's the court precedent that legalized slavery in the U.S. It was done by a Black man.
