As an Italian American I'm still waiting for my reparations check from Africa & the Middle East for enslaving my people during the Arab & Barbary Slave Trades.
I also need a reparations check for Italian internment camps during WW2.
OH and Italians were redlined against by both white and black banks so I'll take some money from both groups, too.
I also demand anyone with Irish, Slavic, Spanish, Armenian, Greek or Bosnian blood get $$
Or the Irish
Or the Romani
Where are THEIR reparations?
Yeah, my Irish ancestors were bargain bin slaves compared to Africans. I demand reparations!
Seriously.
I read about how they branded the irish to tell them apart from free White people AND forced the women to breed with (More expensive) Black slaves in order to get dark kids.
Damn. Don't tell me bad things.
I apologize.
And now for the reparations for hurting my feefees?
I have an open roll of lifesavers and some pocket lint?
Those Lifesavers all equal ratio of color? Color equality matters but equality of effects do not. Doesn't matter if the purple ones taste like shit.
You can keep your lint tho. Pockets are remnants of bigoted white patriarchal supremacist culture and have no place in our beautifully diverse society.
Or Armenians and Greeks (genocide by Turks)
Or Russians (attacked by Germans and their Middle East allies)
Also good points.
I'm part Lithuanian and my roomate is Romanian, we joke all the time about how slavic people were the original slaves. Slav is the root word of slave.
slave (n.) late 13c., "person who is the chattel or property of another," from Old French esclave (13c.), from Medieval Latin Sclavus "slave" (source also of Italian schiavo, French esclave, Spanish esclavo), originally "Slav" (see Slav); so used in this secondary sense because of the many Slavs sold into slavery by conquering peoples.
Though we both know we came from slaves somewhere in our heritage (because every single person on the planet also probably has too) we don't build our personalities or lives out of that fact....we don't burn our own towns down, loot, riot and then blame others, cry about it and demand free shit. And we above all don't blame other random people for the crimes of their ancestors because that's just retarded.
So many people don't know this history. It's sad, really.
This is why you can't educate people and expect them to vote liberal.
Some of my ancestors had their property seized by Lincoln through the use of an illegal executive order. Reparations!
I would like the beads my family payed for Virginia to be returned please.
Damn Indians didn't even "own" that shit. America's first naked put options. Congressional investigations now!
My ancestors were Irish indentured servants brought to this country against their will. Pay me!
Me too brother! Let's get our tax money to pay ourselves reparations!
Yes! We'll get $1000 back for every $10,000 our taxes go up!
FREE MONEY!
Or the Slavs for that matter. I mean the very term Slave is derived from Slav...
I keep asking this question because whites were slaves to blacks before blacks where slaves to whites. Therefore, we have priority, I would think.
History of slavery is a fascinating subject and brings to light many things that we thought were true simply weren't.
Same. Also, I identify as black on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so I'll need my reparations also prorated to include those days.
Africans have been oppressing Italians since the days of Hamilcar Barca.
How about reparations from Jews for bringing africans here and making us pay for their crimes for a century
I identify as a Canaanite and demand reparations for the genocide of my people.
Oy vey!! you can’t talk like that goyim!
reparations for silk road human rights violations now!
I cried during Schindler's List. The government owes me some money.
(it was the part where he wasted vodka)
The word slave was derived in the 13th century from the word slav.. referring to Slavic people.
As an Italian/Sicilian/ American I concur
I want Merkel Money. Germany gassed 6 million Whites during the holocaust! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE THAT RIGHT ANGLEA
No gives a fuck what you demand.
No balls no vote no opinion
