Can someone explain this to me? California passes historic slavery reparations bill yet there were never any slaves in CA

Also, abortion rates have been on a downward trajectory for 40 years. Of course abortions in 1960 were rare. It was still illegal. RvW happened in 1973.

1. More English were enslaved in Africa than Africans enslaved in English colonies

2. About 4.000 Black people owned slaves in the south.

3. About the same % of black people owned slaves as white people around 1.2%

4. American Indians owned thousands of slaves including white slaves

5. White slaves outnumbered black slaves by 4 to 1 in 1780

6. More black people are put into slavery TODAY every 3 years than was ever brought over to the US.

7. Every black person is a decedent of a slave OWNER.

8. White slaves were still being sold at auction when Lincoln freed the slaves.

9. William Wilberforce - The fact that he doesn't have a world wide holiday is a joke and even worse is the vast majority of people don't even know who he is.

Reparations, such a good idea! Love it!

The funny thing is that you actually believe what you posted.

No, make that the tragic thing.

Just to point out the profound level of ignorance that you just displayed:

1. The number of English enslaved in Africa was in the tens of thousands. The number of African slaves in English colonies was in the millions. So, you are only off by a factor of 100. Pretty good for someone so ignorant!

3. The percentage of FREE blacks in the South who owned slaves was indeed about 1.2%. Of course, the number of FREE blacks was less than 10% of the black population so the actual percentage of blacks who owned slaves was about 0.1%.

Now, the actual percentage of whites who owned slaves in the South in 1860 was 32%.

So, let's see, which is bigger - 32% or 0.1%? Tough question. This time you were only off by a factor of 300. Still not bad for one so profoundly ignorant!

I could go on. But you, my dear friend, are a complete waste of time.

I love threads like this. They explain how a US President is able to run on a platform that nakedly appeals to racial prejudice - unlike any other leader in the Western world. "White grievance" runs strong within you.

He's not actually President. He's just the Democrat nominee. But you're right, that Party would have no chance without gathering up Ice Cube, LeBron, and all the racists lurking around the US.

Please actually go on as everything you just typed was not only insulting and rude but wrong. But that is to be expected from someone who doesn't know history.

1. This is simple math.

3,775 / 319,599 = 1.18% of Free blacks owned slaves.

393,975 / 27,233,198 = 1.14% of Free whites owned slaves.

Why you don't want to include the North when they could have easily have moved south to own slaves if they wanted to is some cherry picking crap if I ever seen it.

2. “Over a million Europeans were held as slaves from the 1530s through the 1780s in Africa, and hundreds of thousands were kept as slaves by the Ottomans in eastern Europe and Asia,” writes Alan Gallay, a Historian from Georgetown University.

“In 1650,” Gallay adds, “more English were enslaved in Africa than Africans enslaved in English colonies." "Only about 388,000 were transported directly from Africa to North America throughout the slave trade."

Please go one with who dumb and ignorant people are compared to you. I need to waste more time with such geniuses like yourself!

3,775 / 319,599 = 1.18% of Free blacks owned slaves.

393,975 / 27,233,198 = 1.44% of Free whites owned slaves.

Excuse my typo. Big big difference I know.

Sure!!! I'm all in for reparations.

Please include:

JAPANESE AMERICANS

HISPANIC AMERICANS

ITALIAN AMERICANS

IRISH AMERICANS

CHINESE AMERICANS

All of which were discriminated against and or enslaved to build railroads, work in the fields, and build many of the great cities that exist today in the state.

Typical Dem-Socialist HORSE- SH*T!!!!! Who's gonna pay for this? Just add it to the already "Highest Taxes" in the country list.

The reason he doesn't understand why people think he's racist and that his site is supporting race-baiting garbage is he thinks he's actually getting away with this BS when he does it.

there's 0% chance that rojo wouldn't read a thread like this and 0% chance OP isn't following it, yet neither has responded to this.....hmmmmm

Why don't you still live where your immigrant family landed here...or can people actually move?

Racist people always say the same thing.. I didnt enslave anyone..Everybody was slaves...Let's forget about slavery smh. Feel guilty much?? Its the United States that is being addressed not Americans. Africans were kidnapped from there land!! When slavery ended..Jim Crow laws kicked in which is another form of slavery. Sorry to burst you're bubble but 1 trillion will be given to African Americans

We gave Reparations to all Japanese People and their Descendants for interning them during WW2, I think Many Germans and Italians were Interned during WW2 and I am sure all of them and their Descendants were compensated with Reparations.

We gave reparations to Japanese Americans because they were interned. There were NO internment camps for German Americans or Italian Americans so they don't get reparations.

The descendants of Japanese Americans did NOT receive reparations if their ancestors received reparations.

Ah Gee. My Heart was set on moving into a trailer trash red county near you.

I always thought affirmative action and government jobs were reparations.

I am not sure. The grammar is disaster that we expect from Rojo posts but there aren't anywhere near enough misspelled words.....

Exactly! My favorite question whenever this topic pops up is, "My great-great grandfather was a slaveholder. After emancipation, he married my great-great grandmother, one of his prior slaves. So do I have to pay reparations or do I get to collect?"

White people have been enslaved throughout history. Can I get in on this?

Probably one of the biggest fallacies there is in history.

This topic should have been discussed when Actual Former Slaves were still alive. Less than 2% had slaves, I don't get the logic on this EACH PERSON is only responsible for what they do, A person should not be punished for having a physical characteristic in common with one who did wrong, and we don't have multigerational punishment ( believe North Korea does)

If we as Americans WANT Multigenerational punishment we should vote on it, NEW Laws can't be retroactive though, It is stupid and not logical, and If these people are so against slavery what are they doing about the estimated 60 Million slaves there are CURRENTLY mostly in 3rd World Nations? They complain about The USA who got rid of it long before anyone alive now was born, It is kind of like The LGBT protesting in the USA which is nowhere near as bad for them as Saudi Arabia, yet they never March/Protest in Saudi Arabia.
