Dense, too. The iwi are the descendants of Maori dispossessed of their land over a century and a half ago, not yesterday. Like other NZr's I am paying for something I didn't do but my ancestors did. That's how historical reparations work. But not in the US. There have been no reparations let alone atonement for what was done to African Americans for centuries through slavery and Jim Crow and your racism is still alive and well. This place proves it.
Should the current day Duwamish pay reparations to the descendants of the people Chief Seattle enslaved?
Black Master. It is difficult to digest, but numerous records indicate that thousands of free people of color in the antebellum South did in fact own slaves. Not only did they own slaves but, in some instances, they harshly d...
In the year 1830, at the height of the transatlantic slave trade, there were an estimated two million people enslaved in the United States. In the vast majority of cases, they were Africans or the enslaved descendants of Afri...
Bs. Slavery was perpetrated by dominant white culture over African Americans.
Meh. Ended 100+ years ago. When will this stop being an excuse for one's failures? 200 years? 300 years? Probably never, Losers will blame anything but themselves for their lack of success. Slavery didn't seem to hold back many Black Americans. seattle cooked. Fantasyland policies don't work. Soft on crime is a disaster, for law-abiding citizens.

They would just spend their reparations on fried chicken, Olde English 800, and Saturday night specials.

I think a start would be white America paying reparations for their centuries of slavery. Then you could focus on your present day racism rather than your diversions.

The ownership of slaves was an instituted created in the US by whites over blacks. A few exceptions to that practice doesn't change that - except to present day racists looking to reduce the obscenity of the practice overwhelmingly committed by white culture.
Threads like this clearly demonstrate the ugly bigoted side of US culture, which is overwhelmingly white racism. As James Baldwin said, "race is America's shadow".

You really think that the United States invented slavery?
That isn't what I said, meat-brain. The institution of slavery in the US was essentially the instrument of dominant white culture over blacks. To whom did the Emancipation Proclamation apply and then the 13th Amendment?

Floyd was a far better man than George Washington.
Nah, that floyd guy was a total Loser. Criminal! High on drugs! Counterfeiter! Obese! Held a gun to a pregnant woman's belly. That Loser never should've been there that day, he should've been deep inside a prison somewhere.
