All the slave states today rank lowest in quality-of-life statistics; all states at the top of the quality-of-life statistics were non-slave states. There's a very good reason for that.


And to be clear, the states came before the federal government. All states are like their own country, in many ways. That's why every state has their own Constitution.


In other words, we northerners don't owe you a damn thing.

What do you owe me? What is going to make me whole after a black person held me captive (enslaved), raped and beat me?

Obama begs to differ. He had 8 years and didn’t give blacks a penny,

But you think Biden will?

Yeah, I paid. I paid by serving this country for 10 years and 2 tours in Iraq.

And yes, you can thank me for my service.

Again, Democrats had plenty of chances to propose “reparations” and they never did.

It really saddens me that so many blacks have been so easily manipulated.


I'm proud to say that the black people whom I call friends all recognize and resist the manipulation.

SO, here I am, still wondering if the ability to rape white women is part of the payback that you envision? Does the man who raped me now feel like he is "even" with the white race?

And yet......you never hear them publicly say this.....and why? we know the answer to that.


Also, my ancestors came to the US in the late 1800s...from Germany, Austria and Ireland. They lived in
NY. I also don't owe anyone JACK.
