Hey, what's wrong with lug nuts on a birthday cake, they can hold the candles.

I will agree with that, America does need to work on the problem. I vote we start buying the exit tickets for Africa immediately. And we should offer a free funeral pyre down at the county trash incinerator for all those that expire in the gutter when entitlements totally cut off.



And where are blacks still property, in your wee mind? But really, where can one buy one? Down at the welfare office?



What grievance, slavery? The government does support slavery and I for one am all for it's discontinuance, stop entitlement, all of them. In fact let's go one better, let's abolish government, it serves no purpose outside enforcement of slavery and crime.



Sure you're delusional. You want to get more entitlements than you're currently getting and want to pretend that it's not immoral and a crime. Just because the government holds the gun does not change the facts. But I do believe justice should be done, accessory after the fact, reparations for all that has been stolen from the rightful owners. So when can we expect your check?



What did and what is something going to do?

What next? The "Affordable Reparations Act"?

actually HR 40, seeking a commission to study the impact of slavery and jim crow and suggest appropriate redress,,

Appropriate redress?

Giving everyone equal opportunity and a level playing field isn't enough?

you already know my answer,, it isnt necessarily enough to say sorry and promise not to beat someone anymore , that may stop continued wounds but it doesnt make that person 'whole' again,,,,depending upon what your beating left in its wake(lost work, emotional distress,,etc,,)


so the appropriate redress for the historical beating that was slavery and jim crow


would be for consideration after appropriate study of the cause and affect of past injustice,,

So, when was the first and last time anyone here, in these forums, was beaten by a slave owner?

I don't know about in these forums but I think Oprah has been abusive to some of her slaves.

No they were not citizens and to this day are not citizens unless they requested to become citizens. Indigenous, means native, they were here before the Brits got here. They were their own sovereign nations. They owned the original land until the immigrants either bought it or took it from them in treaties.



Yes they were here first, it was their land. Each of the tribes were sovereign Indian Nations. And you really should read some history. Some of the first settlers purchased land from the Indians, like Pennsylvania. And the British stole some of the land for the first thirteen states (which also included Maine, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia). The Spanish stole Florida while the French stole the Louisanna purchase. The United State bought both. And let's not forget the Northwest Territory that included Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, the British stole that too and got it as spoils of war.

But yes, the Indians were rejected from the land they occupied when the government did what American is still famous for to this day, they took it with violence, they went to war, won and signed treaties, the spoils of a conquered nation.

Now if anyone is going to complain, it should be them, but I believe they have settled their differences.



Do you really understand what a legally binding agreement really is? First do you even understand the difference between lawful and legal? And yes there is a difference no matter how they try to hide it, again study history but this time legal history.

But these agreements were treaties. When you break a treaty, it is an act of war and war it was, the government rounded them all up and did what they may and made them sign new treaties to get peace.



No, it has nothing to do with any advancements except for the increased number killed. It has to do with the people of this nation, not the government. "We the people..." stand up and cheer every time the psychopathic statist tell us it's for out safety that we allow them to kill people that have done nothing to us. This country has been devising false flags forever in order to get this country into war so the bankers and military industrial complex owned by then can make tremendous profits. Yes, the lives of America sons and daughters in trade for bankers profits. Let's see USS Maine, Spanish American War; the Lusitania, WWI; Pearl Harbor, WWII, Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam War; Weapons of Mass Destruction, Iraq; Qaddafi defending against US backed rebels, Libya; rebels gas civilians, almost Syria, finally people object but does that stop them, no now Ukraine and Venezuela.

So when will this tyranny end, when we run out of sons and daughters? Or when the people finally understand there is no difference between red and blue, just new faces, same puppet masters.



Are you denying being a participant? The masses are stirred up by those with the most to gain from the division. They will always instill an emotional reaction from one group against another, but to divide requires two sides. Now the other side responds with an emotional reaction of their own. Nobody really cares what the issues are and nobody cares about the truth, just justice, the justice of having the other side punished. Nobody really cares about the poor sucker that got stuck in the middle.

And standing up for what equality let alone justice. Justice is between parties, first to restore the peace. Second for the injured party to be made whole and receive just restitution. Should the parties not be able to agree on a solution, then each presents their case to 12 of their peers who shall decide law as well as fact and render a decision. That decision is forever unless fraud can be proven.

So if you feel you have been injured, address it to the party that perpetrated the injury, if no resolution, then sue.



Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump it's backside when it landed but until the day that happens it does not negate the fact the frog is going to bump it's backside.

And you have the right to do any thing your little heart desires, so long as it doesn't infringe another right to do the same thing.

And you may stand on any principles that you can conceive so long as they aren't expected to be adhered to by another without their voluntary consent. But remember when you stand and shout them for all to hear, others may disagree. There should be no problems until one uses the coercion of a government to change the other. By the same token, what is right for you may not be right for another and again should not be a problem unless one tries to force another to change against their will, so long as what is right for you does not actually wrong the other.

And one is only a slave until they stop being one. All it takes is that one little secret word, "no". But remember that word is spelled two ways, no and know.

There is nothing new in this universe. Whatever is has always been and that which isn't never will be. Mankind is just on one big loop, repeating and repeating the same things over and over. Some of mankind are awake and study the past to avoid certain things in their future but the masses just sleepwalk repeating things over and over again falling into the same pitfalls.

And nobody ever invents anything, it was already there. Some soul just discovered how to bring it into sight. The resources of this planet have been here since the beginning except for those that bang into us occasionally. The combinations of these substances are definitive and cannot change. Some combinations have been discovered while others have still to be discovered. This is natural law, irrefutable and immutable.

It is but mankind that is ever in fluctuation. Some will seek the seek knowledge and find the truth. Most will seek nothing and accept anything as truth. The difference between selfishness and selflessness, man is defined by which they see as evil.

Sure it has but like anything else there are no guarantees. If level needs to be seen as politically correct, then the field has been tilted, not the fault of the field.

So being this ended with America, am I to presume that the whole statement refers to the same or is this just another set of declarations that can be denied?

First, list other incidents that you claim to know where riots and burning involved other than blacks, should not be that long of a list.

Second, are you telling me that those involved had anything of value other than the looting prior to the burning to offer for reparations? So this would just be another little entitlement incident, they are entitled to burn and others need to be robbed to rebuild. And I am sure that the black taxpayers that were likewise robbed to pay for this little entitlement mess weren't too happy either.

And the rest is just pure BS, if what you say is not BS, then surrender your entitlements and be responsible for yourself, not going to happen. So you do want things that are not yours.

To deny facts don't change them, just displays the level of ignorance one is willing to demonstrate to the world.

Where the error in judgement seems to manifest itself is in believing Odumbo is a man when in reality he is just a little egotistical psychopathic statist puppet with his strings being pulled by the elitist psychopathic statist.

They want to sue that big cash cow, the one that just gives and gives, the taxpayers grandchildren at the point of that big government gun.

Oh yeah, here we go. lets just kick in some additional excuses. Can you hold on here a sec, got to get a new notebook, this one full.

But as to your conclusion, if there were any intellect that could be converted to intelligence, that would be an outstanding thing to do.

Any blame, any excuse to keep from facing the solution, it's your fault, accept responsibility for your own actions.

I think that is in the 2016 roll-out portion of Odumbocare!

400 years of slavery/jim crow was my fault? really? interesting

blacks being overrepresented in jail and underrepresented in the economy is my fault?

if there is intellect that could be converted into intelligent debate instead of dismissive ad hominim,,, that would be a miraculous change to the usual nonsense circle jerk personal attacks,,,,

Chart: Statutes of Limitations in All 50 States

www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/statute-of-limitations-state-laws-chart-29941.html




Contracts that are created in bad faith and are intentionally designed to deceive and deprive someone of their civil rights to compensation and redress do occur!

Where there still exists the master/slave mentality there still remains those who will take advantage of others for their own profit and benefit.

If the master/slave mentality is pervasive throughout the culture there is NOT one person or entity that will go against the master to right any wrongs done to the slave.



Facts are facts.

In order to confirm or deny the "facts" indisputable evidence has to exist for or against.

A person doesn't have to utter any type of plea or scream claiming discrimination if and when the majority of the facts prove its existence beyond a reasonable doubt in the minds of normal human beings.

It is what it is. And telling others of its existence doesn't diminish its quality or harm done.

In fact, the truth often ruffles the feathers of the bigots who don't want to admit their own actions are based on hatred, dislike, snobbery, male dominance or chauvinism, prejudice or segregationist attitudes, etc.

And taking responsibility doesn't always work if either or any party involved in a contract refuses to accept and honor their own responsibility so they can escape culpability and deny liability.

Also, regardless to their qualifications if a person has been burned or black listed due to the malicious and bigoted actions of others specifically intent on preventing a person from obtaining employment or any other standard resources that are generally available to the public as a whole, the targeted individual CANNOT find work unless the ban is lifted.

Consider how difficult it might be for a convicted felon to find employment that would aid in their rehabilitation back into society.

The same attitude exists toward anyone who has any type of black mark against their name and reputation.

And for women it's much more difficult to overcome being labeled in any certain derogatory manner because it is a man's world after all.

Exactly!

Black folks don't want to share the playing field or else their claims for reparations might be diminished if others can prove their lives are much worse off and they as a group or gender identity aren't banging down the White House doors demanding equal treatment and compensation for their sacrificial lots in life.
