This, i believe, is what the issue with reparations was about.
All of that was taken care of a long long time ago and is but history today. America being what she is “apologized and made reparations” at the time it should have.
The mule, $300.oo and 20 acres given them today would be like receiving a Circle K with $50,000.oo to get you started.
The ignorance of history to suggest such a thing, an intentional conspiracy…

As I stated above. Nothing left but cries from the criminal element to propagate into empowerment.

I disagree Hank. I don't think you can look at the current situation without looking at the past, all of it. I don't mean "blame" I just mean acknowledgement and a willingness to progress, that's all.

Actually, its an interdependent relationship.

no more can bosses do as they please (like cutting your ear off if he catches you listening in on his convo).

Mutual respect.

What century do you think this is, Steve?

I support the unions! Look way back in early 1900 when the coal miners worked for pennies and ate and slept on the owners farm.Thats Slavery! But the UNIONS made sure the wealthy share the piece of the pie to us.

Let me see if I understand your point correctly here.

1. Blacks ought to 'get over' the history of slavery because that was old history from 150 years ago.

2. The State of Georgia doesn't have to apolgize to blacks because that was old history from 150 years ago.

2. The confederate flag is very important because it is 150 years old and part of Southern-Confederate history.

Hmm...

Re: It's Time for Blacks to Get Over Slavery

Sovereignty for whom? The South (which tried to break up the USA which so many claim to love)?

Do you understand the word, steveox, or do you just cut and paste images and hope that they make sense?
