How about all the slaves that were in the bible. Mankind at one time was a slave. The people wanting reparations are just looking for free money. Also, had they not been brought over as slaves their ancestors would most likely still be in third world countries. They should be glad they're here and not there.

That's right, a school teacher here in Lapine was reprimanded for truthfully telling her class that we developed a Super Race out of the slaves.

Believe it or not but the United States Government bought land in Africa and set up a Democrat Republic for all the slaves that wanted to return to their African roots.

The slaves got free transportation, tools, seeds, mules, cows and other animals to get them started. That country is now called Libya.

Semper Fi.

But we’re not really free Tom.
We’re just descendants of slaves on a plantation for the Queen / Crown and Vatican Holy See, Grand Master.

It’s all an Illusion, hence the IRS, Federal Reserve, IMF, League of Nations turned United Nations, BIS, ESF, Tri Laterals and CFR commissions to manipulate every academia, think tank and members for Policy shaping into a New World Order.

Who sold slaves from Africa?
According to John K. Thornton, Europeans usually bought enslaved people who were captured in endemic warfare between African states. Some Africans had made a business out of capturing Africans from neighboring ethnic groups or war captives and selling them.

Blacks must be thankful that they were brought to the West. Now blacks have more rights in the US than others due to "Affirmative Action". Those left behind in Africa are still living in poverty. Those slaves sold to the Muslims were killed.

They were sold by their own people. The Black Muslims especially were slave traders. Those blacks sold to the Muslim world, were killed, as soon as they became old and useless.

Those blacks sold by their own people to the White world were given freedom. President Lincoln emancipated slavery. Now, they have more rights than anybody else.

During the early days, there were slaves all over. In the Middle East, Muslims enslaved the Jews and Christians since Mohammad emerged. Christians were enslaved when the Middle East was taken by the Muslims. The Christian women were raped by Muslims, and the rest of them enslaved and killed.

Most conquering nations enslaved the natives. European countries like Spain during the 15th century took over other countries and enslaved the natives. They treated them slaves.

Race FY2015 Total % Change Average Salary FY 2015 % of the Federal Workforce in FY 2015
Black/African American 337,676 1.48% $72,224 18.37%
Hispanic/Latino 102,839 -11% $75,412 5.59%
White 1,176,790 -3.6% $84,759 64.01%
Asian 104,323 6.8% 93,223 5.67%

Blacks consist of 14% US population, but there are more black employees of 18.1% of the total federal workforce. There is no discrimination here. The blacks are more privileged. Records from 2015.

Finally, the Jews were the most oppressed people in the world. They were almost annihilated by Hitler during WW2. Until now, Jews are yelled at and oppressed.

They are successful because they work hard and are smart. But not all of them are fair. E.g. Zuckerberg does not care about Jews in Israel.

I have a friend of over 30 years now who Immigrated from Lagos Nigeria . A black guy with a British accent. He loves this country. He tells me the Blacks here have no idea how good they have it.

You know Mike, the Demand for cheap labor originated when this was a British colony the rich landowners paid the fines of high taxes in England that caused men to lose their buisnesses and was jailed for the balanced owed.

The men came to the British colonies as a type of slave labor to work off the fines and transporation to the Colonies. High taxes imposed was why 4 brothers and their families came to the British Colonies in the 1760s. My forefathers.

High raxes caused the people in the Colonies to resort to rebellion and after they won, they formed what is now the United States. My forefathers all fought in the Revolutionary war and earned lsnd grants for their service.

In 1802 they settled on what is now the tree farm. When Thomas Jefferson bought what was known as the Louisians purchase. Two of the brothers went to Philadelphia, which was the Capitol at that time and secured title for the 4 secrions of land grants.

The invention of the cotton gin caused expansion of growing cotton. Labor in short supply allowed the greedy to buy slaves in Africa for a quart of cheap rum. They were shipped to the Caribbean islands and trained as workers instead of hunters they were originally used to.

The British, Dutch and Boston rum makers got rich from the slave trade. The Southern plantation owners borrowed money from the Boston cotton dealers to buy slaves and paid the money back in cotton. Less than 1% of the population owned slaves.

This immoral practice lasted for over 70 years until Republican President Abraham Lincoln put a stop to it. He was assassinated by a Democrat traitor for his action.

In 1862 my forefathers in Mississippi refused to swap their silver and gold money for paper Confederate money. The Rebel's constantly harrased us "traitors" looking for runaway slaves. Our French Cajuns helped hide the slaves deep in the bayou's and not a single slave was recaptured.

Today we employee many of these ancesters of these Cajuns and Negros and many mixed bloods of Cajun/Negro decendants.

In all the years America has exhisted the Democrats were for higher taxes and slave labor. Today nothing has been learned from all these years of mistakes by the Democrats.

All my ancestors have always been conservatives never borrowing money and always saved our assets.


🇺🇸 God bless America and President Trump.

Also reparations for the Irish forced indentured, which was slavery in all but name as it not only could last a life time with charges for food and shelter adding up to extend indenturement throughout life and to the next generations; to American Indians who were used as slaves before Africans in America; to the Germanic peoples for roman slavery; to the Slavs who were taken and sold as slaves to the rest of Eurasia (from which the word slaves come from.); to Christians who were enslaved in the Roman, early Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires; to Chinese who enslaved other Chinese; to Indians (India not America) enslaved by Muslims; to Jews enslaved by many different peoples, beginning with the Egyptians all the way to the Nazis; to Koreans; to Protestants (Huguenots) enslaved by the French used as galley slaves; to the Muscovites enslaved by Crimean Khanate which was also founded by a former slave; to Moari enslaved by other Maori and then by Europeans; and more.

In fact, currently there are estimated to be about 600,000 still enslaved in Mauritania, and more than 800,000 in Myanmar.

And are the reparations to be payed by the descendants of slave holders, or of those who enslaved them in the first place? If the latter, than many blacks would owed reparations to other blacks. And how about all the white Americans whose ancestors never held slaves? What about other Americans neither white nor black?

Now as to reparation in the US, the US government already provided reparations after the Emancipation Proclamation in the offer of 40 acres and a mule. Although the majority of freed slaves chose to work for wages instead of taking up land ownership. Most of those who took the land wound up selling it back to whites or lost it to swindlers making offers too good to be true.
