In the United States before 1865, a slave state was a state in which slavery and the slave trade were legal, while a free state was one in which they were not.
the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 specifically stated that an enslaved person remained enslaved even when she or he fled to a free state.
Actually before the federal government a slave in a free state was a free man.So, there was no slavery before the federal government existed?
Did your ancestors come here willingly? Were they or their offspring slaves 9n "Americans " soil? That answer is no.Cheez. Here we go. What a load of complete nonsense. Estimated as $300-$350k per person and maybe higher. An eligible black family of 4 would receive 1.2 million paid for by tax payers. Complete lunacy.
'Righting wrongs': Congress is taking another look at reparations for slavery
Yup. I agree. I don't know anyone who was a slave and I sure as shit don't know anyone who owned a slave. That happened 150 years ago. Hell I'm English, Irish and French. I'm sure some of my English and Irish ancestors were slaves to someone. I doubt anyone will be paying be one red cent.
More bullshit brought to you by Democratic imbeciles.
The Mean One is very angry that he spent his youth in a gang and not studying.Well if he's your son-in-law, I'm pretty sure you accept his Brown skin, because he thinks and feels like you..DipshitMy educated son-in-law is Brown and says you're an uneducated asshole.Stop lying! You're a racist prick who tries to hide behind being either a "PATRIOT" against abortion, or pro-guns. When its obvious you don't like any brown people, especially living in America.If you don't get to have laws set up to keep you or people who look or think like you, than you hate it. If you don't like things changing for the betterment of all Americans, you bitches should leave.You go back to Europe peasant.Reparation? Sorry, I thought you said "Repatriation."
The ship leaves in ten minutes. Don't miss it.
I'm not the one claiming that I don't like it here, and I want nothing that I didn't get by way of my own two hands and a little work. Nobody owes me anything.
How is giving money to one race of people for the betterment of "all" Americans?
You're full of shit. Personally, I have nothing against anyone of any race. It's leftist scum I hate, no matter what color they are. And this country was not built on leftist, socialism, communism, liberalism, or progressivism.
Or maybe he treats his daughter well and loves her?....Dipshit.

The horse has left the barn. Tough to catch it and put it back in. Problem also is that China is spreading out as is Russia so we are forced to counter that.You would only create more wrongs. How does stealing from a totally innocent person right a wrong?two wrongs don't make a right."I can’t imagine a more divisive, polarizing or unjust measure than one that would by government force require people who never owned slaves to pay reparations by those who never were slaves," McClintok said.
I have to pay for wars against people who never did anything to me.
Sorry, why don't we right that wrong? You ignore your wrongs and I'll ignore mine.
It's the socialist way, comrade. Everyone must share the pain.
That's right. I would hope that reperations might bankrupt the war machine.
The war machine was voted out of office and replaced with Trump. Trump hurt you're feelings so you put the war machine back in.
Nothing changed under Trump. He talked a good talk but he was too cowardly to follow up.
Our military is every bit as much spread around the world.
Well the countries in the South China Sea would disagree. As would Crimea.The horse has left the barn. Tough to catch it and put it back in.

China and Russia has gone nowhere.
Good that he's educated! Wow, he must be the only "educated " Brown person you know? I wonder how he feels about you " liking " him, but hating others that look like him?He's educated and does not have to resort to Black gibberish when he speaks.Well if he's your son-in-law, I'm pretty sure you accept his Brown skin, because he thinks and feels like you..DipshitMy educated son-in-law is Brown and says you're an uneducated asshole.Stop lying!

Fuck that we are already in debt that's all we need.Cheez. Here we go. What a load of complete nonsense. Estimated as $300-$350k per person and maybe higher. An eligible black family of 4 would receive 1.2 million paid for by tax payers. Complete lunacy.

They were prevented from buying a house in the neighborhood where I grew up so we got that house cheaper than otherwise
That's rich and diametrically opposed to the argument that white people enslaved Africans and brought them to the new world. Please tell me who these African world explorers were.Interesting concept as many black people trace their "roots" as Americans, 100 years further back than many white people.Anyone who receives reparations should also be returned to their country of origin--I mean the point is to make them whole and return them to their previous life.
If you want to really go back to the beginning, all people originated out of Africa.

Your ancestors weren't denied jobs, housing, loans etc. So that analogy doesn't have anything to do with this.
You raise excellent questions and I don't have any good answers. If I steal your bike and get caught do I have to return it? If I steal your bike and get caught after you've died, do I have to return it to your family? When, if ever, does it become rightfully mine?It also doesn't mean that YOU should pay for that tangential benefit.I wasn't talking about fault but about benefits. My family definitely benefited from the discrimination of the past, doesn't mean they codoned it.And that is my fault, how? I was new in a small southern NM town in the late 50's. I was shunned by the hispanic neighbors that I lived with--does that mean I was a victim of brown privilege. You cannot legislate human nature nor can every wrong be corrected with cash. You must lead a really shallow existence harboring all of that unearned guilt.That was my family. My parents got jobs that were probably not open to Blacks back then. Another benefit for me.I've never owned a slave but I think I've benefited from the discrimination of Blacks. They were prevented from buying a house in the neighborhood where I grew up so we got that house cheaper than otherwise and benefited from its appreciation.I've never owned a slave....and they've never been forced to pick cotton
Not one cent from me. They already have their entitlement welfare
Well that's you, not me, Snowflake
How far down the rabbit whole will that nonsense take us? Should Germany get reparations for the Roman conquest?
There is no collective culpability. Get that out of your head RIGHT NOW!!!
No. Im educated. Not in a gang.

Pay me for being denied. I was n ot privileged when quotas, diversity and Political correctness hired all the others but white males first starting in the early 1970's. Pay me my reparations.Not white guilt, white privilege.I suspect many fine men got promotions due to AA, promotions that in the past they would have been passed over.That was my family. My parents got jobs that were probably not open to Blacks back then. Another benefit for me.I've never owned a slave but I think I've benefited from the discrimination of Blacks. They were prevented from buying a house in the neighborhood where I grew up so we got that house cheaper than otherwise and benefited from its appreciation.I've never owned a slave....and they've never been forced to pick cotton

Well that's you, not me, Snowflake
My papa was a USN MCPO and told me many fine men lost promotion to AA.
Maybe those men need reparations?
Double edged sword, Snowflake
You're dodgin, Snowflake.
Let that white guilt flow through you.....dumbass
Article I, Section 8, Clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States;The limits are within the Constitution itself. They can't just tax because they want to.The federal governments power to tax, is limited only by where such laws originate. Neither the scope or size or reason faces constitutional limits.

A reasonable request, just deduct all the benefits your family received over the years.Pay me for being denied. I was n ot privileged when quotas, diversity and Political correctness hired all the others but white males first starting in the early 1970's. Pay me my reparations.
