(53,763 posts)First of all, Native Americans should have also recieved reparations. Many nations have recently opened casinos which helps, but many btw have also denied those with native and black blood a share in gaming profits, for what that's worth.
And FYI: Enslaved Africans had their dawn-to-dusk, six days a week labor stolen for 250 years. To be clear that means they were not paid anything for 12-hour days of back-breaking work so they damn well deserve reparations just as your people do.
And there was never any 40 acres and a mule. The government rescinded that policy, and black people were not allowed to participate in the free land giveaways as white settlers were in the prairie land rushes.
Money btw with interest doubles every seven years so if that stolen labor was to be paid back it would break the US Treasury.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
