Why don't we just face the fact that the US was designed for different classes of slavery from inception. Whites were white collar while slave and land owners brought in laborers to work. As we evolved so did the societal rules and classes.
Civil war brought on the federal government which enslaved us all but for the past 5 generations blacks received welfare and spread their reparations from the first 5 generations over the previous 5.
Complaining that they didn't get it in one lump sum isn't enough to justify more it validates their population is so large because of the reparation plan they received otherwise they would have spent it all on cigarettes and watermelon and succeeding generations would have been left without and they wouldn't be here today let alone such a large percent of the population.

It's absolutely true, but you can achieve some control over your destiny by simplifying your life, determining what you need to be comfortable and satisfied, and shunning mindless consumerism.

Since it was the British who ended the global slave trade, do people of British ancestry get a rebate? How about people whose ancestors fought on the Union side in the Civil War?

Just change the name of food stamps and social security to reperations.

What I'd like to know is how many slave ships were there in total, and what percentage of them were owned by "Jews"? Where do I seek out this information? I need better perspective.
