I lived the last 50 years. There is no point going back 400 years. Oh, I don't mind it, but I'm losing track of the posters. You see my family was in bondage for over 400 years.
Presupposing that mainstream liberal blacks are right,
THEY would have been the slave masters. Why stop with 400 years? Why not hold every race, color, creed, religion, etc. that has practiced slavery accountable? I'd say that 400 + years slavery of one people is just egregious as any case in history. That's part ONE.
Secondly, the whites didn't invent slavery. They were
not the first in recorded history to practice it. However, in modern history it was white Americans (
NOT British subjects) that were the first to end slavery.
Third point: Alexis de Tocqueville wrote:
"..
. there are but two alternatives for the future; the negroes and the whites must either wholly part or wholly mingle. I do not imagine that the white and black races will ever live in any country upon an equal footing. But I believe the difficulty to be still greater in the United States than elsewhere. An isolated individual may surmount the prejudices of religion, of his country, or of his race, and if this individual is a king he may effect surprising changes in society; but a whole people cannot rise, as it were, above itself. A despot who should subject the Americans and their former slaves to the same yoke, might perhaps succeed in commingling their races; but as long as the American democracy remains at the head of affairs, no one will undertake so difficult a task; and it may be foreseen that the freer the white population of the United States becomes, the more isolated will it remain" (Democracy in America - 1831)
Consequently, in order to maintain forced equality, the white people are not free in their own country. Instead, they are victims of a subtle genocide. Again, I defer to de Tocqueville:
“
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”
That truth, observed upward of 200 years ago, has been proven true since the Democrats have become Democratic Socialists and everything in between from Progressives to Communists wearing the Democrat label.
Along those lines, de Tocqueville made another observation that has proven true:
“Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.”
That summarizes up my view of the current time
Finally, the black leadership is dismantling the history and all vestiges of white culture (proof given multiple times on this thread) AND they seek reparations. The problem is, any defendant (from the families who owned slaves to government officials) that could be sued was buried many years ago. If the black leadership wants to sue the government, they are suing all races and cultures. The only real objective is to eliminate the white race. I look back 50 years because that is about as far back as you could possibly hold me accountable.
HOWEVER, if you want to relive ancient history then let's go all the way back. And if you want to buy extremist black revisionist history, then give the blacks reparations and we can deduct that for all the slaves they held throughout history. You can't hold Americans responsible for the actions of King George. You can only hold Americans accountable for a maximum of 99 years (and then not in all states can you go back that far).
Blacks either have to rise above the excuses and pull themselves up by their bootstraps, look to their leadership, and become self sufficient, self reliant, and independent. If they want to wage a war of genocide and eliminate the whites, the whites will either have to fight back or face total genocide... and it is the liberal, left wing, Progressive, Democratic, Democratic Socialist, Socialist, and Communist combine of self hating whites that are leading the charge to incite a possible civil war.
