My ancestors had no ties to slavery, and they did not benefit from it, so I get a tax exemption so I don’t have to pay for this shit?
Or what about the white people who’s ancestors did own slaves, and lost everything after the war. And they are poor and inherited no slave wealth from 150 years ago.
I would rather die than pay for the crimes of someone else. Someone I never knew. Someone I would never even know their name if it wasn't in my bloodline.
My great great great grandfather lost 4 brothers in the Civil War fighting for the Union. He even had a signed war book with Abraham Lincoln's signature in it.
If reparations (tyranny) becomes law in this country, then rebellion will become duty.
What about the thousands of free blacks that owned slaves. (the excuse that they bought their wives, and kids doesn't get it). The three biggest slave owners in the south were in fact blacks. Most that did buy their wives didn't free them, but held it over their heads "for good behavior". There are numerous cases of even a wife that sold her husband "down river" to a cotton plantation because he got "uppitty", and even fathers that sold their children. Even many freed blacks unable to fend for themselves that sold themselves back into slavery. That "hero" of the slave ship Armistade named Cinque that was freed by the courts went on to own 30-40 black slaves himself. So do the hundreds of thousands of descendants of these black slave owners also get "restitution" ???
Lincoln wanted to send all the slaves back to Africa (Liberia to be precise) during his second term. Oh how the US would’ve been sooo much better if that had happened
Contrary to what public school teaches, the Civil War was not about slavery. It was about reuniting seceeding states. It wasn't until over halfway through the war that Fredrick Douglas made it about slave as well. Most of the Union couldn't have giving less of a shit about slavery. Abraham Lincoln litterally campaigned about not wanting to touch the souths slaves, as he new it was crucial at that time to their economy.
Not only did I have family members fight and die in the Union Army, our old property in West Virginia (then Virginia) is now a historic landmark, as it was a crucial juncture as a final (and therefore extremely dangerous) stop along a main underground railroad artery.
But they probably just had white guilt or something, had nothing to do with their faith in Jesus, patriotic vigilance, and belief in the moral principles of our founding documents that all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights...
So, can I expect reparations from England for rounding up my Scottish ancestors and forcing them into slave camps, shipping them to the colonies and forcing them to work for nothing as indentured servants?
Yes, this is how I got here. They seized all my family's land and property too. We had a fucking castle.
its all typical Dem bullshit, they pander and pander to idiots who believe them, while the entire time having no intention of ever following through, like they've done on literally every promise they've made since i can't remember how long... look at that 15$/hr Biden campaigned on, look at that Medicare for all they're pushing for... oh wait... they lied... again. But THIS time they're telling us the truth, lol... useful idiots believe the lies over and over... pathetic

Very few people inherited any slave wealth at all. Slaves also represented a massive loss of wealth for Europeans as they took up all their jobs.

The question is how much tyranny. Because we have quite a bit already

Shelby Foote, amazing author
a true national treasure.
some people really hate him. mostly lefties, obv.
How about we call it even for the trillions of dollars in wealth that have already been transferred to them via means-tested public assistance?
I'll make a deal, they get reparations but they have to go back to Africa and renounce their citizenship.
What about the stolen Irish Orphans?
Lincoln was used and abused by the Cabal to destroy as many Americans as possible.

Let’s not forget the millions of white slaves held by Muslims up until about 1850.
Let’s not forget the white Irish slaves. Or Italian in America.
Let’s also not forget was that white slavery was the last to be outlawed in the world around 1905 I think.
Scots too! Forced indentured servants.
Btw, Wikipedia now says indentured servitude was a common way of paying off your education. Neat.

Make sure your money doesn't go to Democrats
Organizations that promoted slavery should pay any and all reparations.

You're right of course, but the TL:DR version - States rights.
But not to the black descendants of black slave owners.
If we stop paying federal income tax will the Dems and leftist elites take the reparations out of their own pockets?
No payment at all, respond with violence.
WHAT ABOUT THE AMERICAN INDIANS?
The first slaves in America were Irish women and children. Do I get reoperations too?

What about the white slaves in the founding of America? Oh they don't count you say? Fucking leftards.
Don't forget the descendants of the original Irish slaves that were sold here...
Well maybe just the union half. Although to be fair to the Confederates none of the rank and file soldiers owned slaves either.

Great post
I just want to thank u/kek_saved_the_world for their incredible service to the truth.
Words dont do justice to the light you shine on the fear mongering devils amd their rotten propaganda machine.
God bless you
I have not only a civil war union soldier but one of the early Republican VP's in my lineage, do I get two checks?
I was able to trace ancestors to not only CW1, but the Revolutionary War. When will the UK send a check too?

I want compensation for all the bikes.
Only democrats should pay
Good idea. Let's also help those who participated in the underground railroad.
My family never owned slaves and fought to free them, yet I’m a white supremacist
Republicans need reparations too. Their political party was started for the purpose of freeing slaves. They died doing so.
CAN I GETAN AMEN YOU OWE MY FAMILY FOR FOUR MEMBERS 2 ON MOMS SIDE 2 ON DADS SIDE. PAY UP PELOSI PUNCHY FACE
This is not what it seems. Corporations are salivating at this news. They will ultimately the receive trillions.
but how would that help them impoverish whites and give that wealth to our enemies? you're not making sense.
If they take the money, send em to Liberia!
Crime would disappear overnigjt
The logic with this reparations nonsense: "No, you can't claim credit for your ancestors achievements! Now shut up and pay for their misdeeds".
This is stupid. stop feeding their agenda
Same could be said of you are your agenda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIoYb-4W1NY
