Termy!

"In that sense this nation was built on the backs of black people even if "they did not build our roads." "
You either built it or you didn't. If I build a bridge and beat your ass to pick the cotton for my clothes, you did not build that bridge
The building of a bridge does not equate to building a nation. Building a nation on the backs of blacks is a metaphor for the exploitation of African slaves during the first eighty years of the nation and previously in the colonies. Without black enslavement it is dubious a robust nation would have evolved from the colonies, imo.
quote:
What about the White indentured servants. They agreed to be slaves technically for a certain period of time to pay for their passage here. Do we owe them ?
Indentured servants were also exploited. I never called for reparations.
quote:
Some people make them work under the table and without a green card so they cannot do anything legally. They also take their passport so even if they could steal the money for a plane ticket home they cannot leave.
I have seen an estimate that there are more than 35 million real slaves being exploited in the world today. Two wrongs, 35 million wrongs do not make a right. America, that "emerald city on a hill" drips with the blood, sweat, and tears of 235 years or so of slavery, Jim Crow Laws, segregation, lynching, systematic exclusion in housing, education, and voting rights.
quote:
And banning slavery did nothing to stop this shit either. And think of it, if you got a full time minimum wage job you have no tie to go to school or even look for a better job. You live pay to pay and have no savings. Just how the fuck is that better, whne if you fall and get injured you get a $3,000 hospital bill you can't pay and they freeze your bank account so you can't even get paid from work.
I hear you. I included wage slaves in my comments. The question is: why do workers keep voting for the two parties who are agents of the moneyed classes?
quote:
And now, even the rich live in debt. Really, Trump filed bankruptcy how many times ? But that is how it is. You can make a million a year but if you have four kids in college and a Wife who likes to sped money that is all gone. Buy them all cars, put them all on your credit card account and pay all the tuition and books and whatnot, that money is gone. That is because they are soaking you like a sponge, everything is overpriced.
Trump used bankruptcy as a business strategy.
We have become a nation awash in credit card consumer debt. Pretty tragic, imo.
quote:
I have some disdain for OWS because some of them were protesting not being able to afford the better Beamer because of student loans they took out to learn fucking basket weaving or some shit. (liberal arts for example) But the fact is that tuition should not have been that high. And did you notice that most of them were White ?
Student loans are another tragedy. The banks are bulging at the seams. Yes, they are whites. Does that mean blacks cannot get loans?
quote:
"Immoral laws can be confronted by court actions and protest actions. That's what the freedom rides were about. Yes, there is recourse. "
Try it sometime. You'll find it to be the biggest pain in the ass ever.
I had in mind the civil rights movement in the 60s and the draft board break-ins that occurred later. Then in Media, PA a small group of young people broke into an FBI office (1971) and stole all the files. They discovered papers that implicated the FBI in domestic surveillance and infiltration of the civil rights groups and the anti-war groups, called Operation Conintelpro. This info was revealed By the Washington Post. The kids were gutsy and never caught despite hundreds of FBI agents who descended on the region. They revealed themselves forty years later in a book.
quote:
Tell you something else. Maybe this couple is highly racist.
They may have set out to prove to the N____s that they have no excuse for raising fucking criminals because we just raised a doctor, engineer and a lawyer. It is YOU Black Parents who are at fault for your children's failure. YOU are inferior and that is why you raise inferior kids.
It is possible that is their motivation. Ever think of that ?
Uhm, no, I don't think so. I think their action was aimed at pro-life people who do nothing but bitch about abortions, but don't adopt kids as an alternative. Just my opinion.
