So while your ancestors had a choice and were paid, Black ancestors had no choice and were not paid.
No one has documented any payment for the underground railroad. Is there evidence that payment was made?

You don’t have any ancestors who died to free slaves unless your ancestors were black soldiers of the Union Army. And we both know better than that.

This goes for whites too who are on the welfare dole and make irresponsible life choices. Of course they only make these life choices because they know the government will bail them out.

If it was 150 years ago, much less 10,000 years ago, this entitlement mentality would just end up getting you killed. You think life is hard? You don't know what hard is.
Do we act as if we’re grateful for your “tolerance?”

I think we both know the answer.

I am sure that if I dig back in my family history, I'll find someone who fought and died in the Civil War from the north. Where's my check?
I’ve got a check for you alright. But you won’t like it.

Union troops got a check. That’s gratitude enough.

Yeah...and my grandfather was a veteran of WWII.


Had we not sent men to die to fight fascism over there (primarily white - I don't think there were many blacks that fought in WWII), we might all be doing a zeig heil right now.


So...all the minorities in America owe me for that, too.

Brilliant Post ~!
(best i've read in long time)

BUT THE TRUTH of the matter is, 'I am still waiting to be compensated for Affirmative Action' ...To this DAY, affirmative action grants Privileges to Minorities (Non-Whites, Women, non-white cultures matriculating to American Citizenship, etc), that NON-WHITES pay for...-----I never signed up NOR VOTED for that!

Where's MY MONEY!~

-YEAH the choice for the whites was this: ---->'Survive or Not'
-Black slaves had the same choice ----- >'Survive or Not'

White pseudo-intellectuals 'Desperately attempt' TO hold one Sec of the population accountable to another.

----like a Broker, they want to get paid for 'promoting' false arguments.

GOOD LUCK !

Isn't that an oxymoron. Slaves who were paid?

My ancestors didn't trash anything.

They didn't participate in the slave trade in any way shape or form.

But they were indentured servants.

And some fought for the Union in the Civil war.



Stereotyping history is suddenly ok for some folks apparently.

Those land bounties that only white soldiers got have probably benifited your family well over the years.

You won't be paid for what your ancestors did, but you have been paying ever since !!!


I won't be paid for what my actual ancestors who fought for the Union did....(nor should I be).

But I certainly get blamed for what some white people, who I'm not even related to, did when they participated in the slave trade over 150 years ago.

Funny how that works, huh?
