And who could possibly be more African than we?

Oh my you went there.

 

But chimps do have a solid case for reparations.

It was determined long ago that we're all descended from "Lucy" in the Olduvai Gorge of Africa.

We should therefore move to California.

More than do most!   

And because we evolved first, we get first dibs.

Unfortunately this type of stuff seems contagious.  Kind of like a novel virus spreading, but only among Democrats.

Going to be tricky in Detroit, they are going to tax themselves?

Who knows.  There was another article discussing overtaxed property owners in Detroit as well.  I expect they will turn to the Democrats that run the state for money.

Looks like some are getting ahead of the game.

Fascinating.  Comments?

Slavery, the Left, and Truth

 

A generation of Americans is being raised on half-truths and lies about the history of slavery in America.  They are given the impression that America was uniquely bad and that American slavery was uniquely bad.  They learn nothing about slavery elsewhere.  Among the many lies they are told are that "black slaves bult America" and that America is systemically racist.  [...]

Great article! When I stumbled upon Thomas Sowell a few years ago, he opened my eyes to slavery around the world. The most brutal slave masters were the Muslims and Arabs. No one wanted to be captured by them. No one. Slavery, no matter where, is evil.
 

Reminds me of Morgan Freeman when interviewed by Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes way back in 2005, where some state he insults Black history month by saying "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history." He opined that the only way to end racism is to stop talking about it and noted that there is no “white” or “black” history.” I agree totally with Freeman.

 

One thing I’m getting used to here, living in America, is the news always remarking on the ethnicity of a person and another, especially when relating to crime, award or status. Why is someone’s ethnicity such a great importance here? The first black Supreme Court female judge - even though she couldn’t define what a woman was as a woman herself because of course she’s not a biologist!

I always thought the Aztecs were up there, but of course given the opportunity everybody was at it.

 

And of course you could be in a much better position as a slave than a serf. Even in American history limited as it is there are plenty of such examples.

 

I always understood that the terms Slaves came from Slavs, certainly the Ottoman Turks would take male children from occupied territories, convert them to Islam and train them from an early age to be their elite Soldiers.

 

 

So like most things it is complicated

Very true, unless slavery included having to become a eunuch.

More nonsense.

Is that in addition to SF and California reparations 

 

Any mention of what the Welsh will get?
