It's Amazing How Little Some White People Really Know About American History

[Dekster]

Wow, my knowledge of American History is defective. I seriously believed there were only 27 amendments.

Woke people see ghosts and other things that aren't there.

 

[LeroyDumonde]

White nationalism is unamerican.

Nope. The country was founded on it, and we're all the worse for the country abandoning the idea.

There was no mistake with the exception of the Native Americans trust of the white man. They tried proposing to blacks that we go back to Africa but backs refused since we had been born here and our labor made this country grow.

Blacks would have been wise to go back, but wisdom has never been their strong point. Outside of professional sports and rap blacks can't compete against non-blacks. They'll forever be poor in our meritocracy.

Whites made this land a shithole because white racism has created the greatest waste of human resources maybe ever in history.

Without the whip blacks are the laziest people on the planet. Blacks hurt America's productivity. Worse, they are a drain on our welfare and criminal justice systems.

Furthermore, the lost income created because whites were so stupid to think only, they deserve good pay made it so the US never has been able to reach its true potential and is in fact the cause of our deficits and current debt.

The cause of our debts and deficits is overspending by the political class. But cheer up, politicians are actually worse than blacks so you're not in the worst class of humans.

Blacks need to build trust among themselves, then they'll make progress.

No, that's not what needs to be done white man. This thread is about the lack of knowledge some whites have about history. You have been asked to explain the implications of the 1790 Naturalization act up until the 14th Amendment as a starter. No one asked the for the white opinion of what blacks need to do for progress. We know what we need to do, end white racism. So, explain the implications of the 1790 Naturalization Act until the 14th Amendment.

So you think America is a shit hole?

 

[Mac-7]

OK, let's break things down about our history because it's clear that a lot of whites in this forum, specifically on the right do not seem to understand the implications of things that have occurred during our history. So let's start at the very beginning. I'll be merciful and not include colonial laws.

On March 26,1790, the United States of America decided who could be a citizen of this country for the first time. The Naturalization Act of 1790 states: “any alien, being a free white person,” could apply for citizenship, so long as they lived in the United States for at least two years and in the state where the application was filed for at least one year. Please notice the first seven words. Only whites were entitled to be citizens of this country.

Now do any of you understand the implications this policy had until the 114th Amendment? Or do you want to pretend that this law meant nothing, and everybody had the exact same rights regardless of race? Do not try that stale ass that was in the past bs, because July 4th, 1776, was even farther past than 1790 and you can recognize the impact of the signing of that document on us as citizens today.

I keep reminding you that while slavery was a curse for the slaves at the time it was a blessing for ungrateful black citizens alive today

You owe more to the slave traders than you can ever repay

“By a conservative estimate, in 1860 the total value of slaves was at least ten times more than the gold and silver then circulating nationally ($228.3 million, “most of it in the North,” the authors add), total currency ($435.4 million), and even the value of the South’s total farmland ($1.92billion). Slaves were, to slavers, worth more than everything else they could imagine combined.”

That is a conservative estimate, meaning the amount could be far more. In 1860, Slaves were worth more than the gold, silver, total U.S. currency, plus all the farmland in the South combined in 1860 but did not receive a dime while whites in both the North and South creating white generational wealth and in fact the wealth was global.

During slavery, wealthy slave owners securitized slavery. That’s right. I said they securitized slavery. Slave owners created and sold slave-backed securities. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. Let me repeat, slaveowners securitized slavery, and the securities were sold internationally. Wall Street should be called Slavery Street; this is the cold reality on which American capitalism has been built.

In the 1830s, powerful Southern slaveowners wanted to import capital into their states so they could buy more slaves. They came up with a new, two-part idea: mortgaging slaves; and then turning the mortgages into bonds that could be marketed all over the world.

First, American planters organized new banks, usually in new states like Mississippi and Louisiana. Drawing up lists of slaves for collateral, the planters then mortgaged them to the banks they had created, enabling themselves to buy additional slaves to expand cotton production. To provide capital for those loans, the banks sold bonds to investors from around the globe — London, New York, Amsterdam, Paris. The bond buyers, many of whom lived in countries where slavery was illegal, didn’t own individual slaves —just bonds backed by their value. Planters’ mortgage payments paid the interest and the principle on these bond payments. Enslaved human beings had been, in modern financial lingo, “securitized.”

As slave-backed mortgages became paper bonds, everybody profited — except, obviously, enslaved African Americans whose forced labor repaid owners’ mortgages. But investors owed a piece of slave-earned income. Older slave states such as Maryland and Virginia sold slaves to the new cotton states, at securitization-inflated prices, resulting in slave asset bubble. Cotton factor firms like the now-defunct Lehman Brothers — founded in Alabama — became wildly successful. Lehman moved to Wall Street, and for all these firms, every transaction in slave-earned money flowing in and out of the U.S. earned Wall Street firms a fee.

The infant American financial industry nourished itself on profits taken from financing slave traders, cotton brokers and underwriting slave-backed bonds. But though slavery ended in 1865, in the years after the Civil War, black entrepreneurs would find themselves excluded from a financial system originally built on their bodies.

Why don't you just explain it to us (we probably won't get it by ourselves).

Wait, so let me make sure I UNDERSTAND. Slavery was unfair to Black people 150 years ago so now Black people like you, totally unaffected by slavery are owed $100 Trillion Dollars. Did I UNDERSTAND you?

Black History Month isn't supposed to be about airing the grievances of the past but celebrating the accomplishments of blacks.

If that's true then why do I see one TV show after another about slavery and other injustices against Blacks from our distant past?

 

[el midgetron]

They tried proposing to blacks that we go back to Africa but backs refused since we had been born here and our labor made this country grow.

Of course these Kangz built America with the power of their unskilled labor. As if there weren't far greater numbers of unskilled whites laborers prior to 1865. No, the small minority of illiterate black people who were picking cotton built America.

Obviously, the unskilled slave labor of the south similarly built up the confederacy and carried them to victory……

 

[Woodznutz]

. They tried proposing to blacks that we go back to Africa, but blacks refused since we had been born here and our labor made this country grow.

In retrospect, do you think that was a good decision? Don't you think blacks would be better off now if your antecedents would have returned? In fact, that is the primary question. Would you have been better off returning, based on the general condition of Africans today? If not materially better off, certainly socially and psychologically better off in the absence of white racism.

That said I think blacks chose to remain here because they knew what they would be returning to and wanted nothing to do with it. They would rather deal with white racism than be slaughtered by a rival tribe, die or be disfigured from some disease, or be killed and eaten by a wild beast.

 

[Woodznutz]

Maybe they just can't help themselves.
