And there it is, finally out in the open...

[Rooster]

...soon to be an official policy plank of the Democratic Party.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris ... -americans

"Two leading Democratic presidential candidates -- U.S. Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts -- have reportedly said they support reparations for black Americans affected by slavery, reflecting a shift in the importance of race and identity issues within the party.

The New York Times reported Thursday that Harris doubled down on her support for reparations after agreeing with a host on the popular radio show “The Breakfast Club” that the race-conscious policy was necessary to address the legacies of slavery and discrimination in the United States."

Here we have it, the pinnacle of identity politics, where money is forcibly transferred from one group of people, citizens of the United States, to another particular group, blacks, who have no direct connection to the event for which they'd receive money or property. Once that door is opened, the rubicon will have been crossed and Irishmen, Indians, draftees, women, Japanese, children, and yes, even straight white men will have grounds upon which to demand payment for the past sins of our fellow countrymen against their ancestors, imagined or real.

Ultimately, there is no low to which politicians won't stoop to buy votes in order to secure their own election. Let's cut out the middleman, shall we? We should just allow politicians to purchase votes flat-out, cash money. It'd simplify the whole system.

I think some of my ancestors were enslaved by the Romans. Italy will pay!

Were any of these ethnic groups systemically arrested, abducted and delivered to enslavement in the US? Please, take your time.

You knew Screwy would totally support this idea.

But yes, some of them were. See Indians for starters.

Irishmen-long history of it by the brits, some of which came here and became 'muricans. So, yeah.

Indians- We came here and took the land they had been living on. If anyone has a legit claim, it is they.

draftees-are you that fukking stupid? A military draft is forced servitude, with the added bonus of being sent somewhere to fight someone else's "slaves". And unlike balcks, there are actual living breathing people who were directly subject to it.

women- no. get back in the kitchen honey.

Japs- Yup. And once again. Actual victims, not 8th generation descendants.

Children- a few, mostly MS13 sex slaves.

[smackaholic]

How's this for a reparation?

Due to the enslavement of one or more of your forebearers, you had the fortune to be born a citizen of the greatest country on earf. Had slavery not been, in the US, you'd likely would have been born in a 3rd world "shithole". Or perhaps your ancestor would have been sold off to a different, far shittier country. So, when it comes right down to it, I'd say you've received reparation enough.

straight white men

[Mikey]

From the title of this thread I thought it was going to be Rooster coming out of the closet.

[Joe in PB]

Smackaholic is right on.

How many blacks today were actual slaves?

0

Reparations should be paid out to people like the Japanese who were forced onto internment camps in WW2. Not relatives of Japanese who were interned.

Obviously just a ploy to get the black vote, because Democrats have little else to offer.

There are a few right-wing libertarians that support the idea of slavery reparations.

Yes. Irishmen were enslaved, but were called indentured servants or laborers. The name was different, but the results were the same.

[Kierland]

How many white people are living on land or money acquired when Black had no chance of acquiring either?

[Kierland]

Because honesty all of a sudden matters.

[Kierland]

Don’t forget all the people in prison who are forced to work because the 13th Amendment didn’t outlaw slavery.

[Mikey]

There may be more slaves today in the United States than there were in 1850.

Sexual trafficking. It exists at every city that is on the interstate system, and then some. In the job that I've had for the past few years, I've learned much more about the subject than I ever wanted to.

Thousands of women and children are crossing our southern border every day, some carrying drugs, but most are sold into slavery and sex trafficking.

After all, what self-respecting NFL owner would not pay a small fortune to jump on any or all three of these:

And yet very little about it in the main stream media, although as Mikey has alluded, that may be changing soon.

And who runs it and where are they from?

Prolly not the Swedes. Hell, I doubt it's even my people these days. Italians have mostly moved on to other lines of work this century.

Muzzies, Latin Americans and maybe Russkies.

Many of the girls are smuggled in from Latin America. And while a wall won't end this bullshit, it is one of the things needed.

But the bad Orange man wants the wall, and stopping him is more important than helping 14 year old Honduran girls.

This is something we have some agreement on,

But it isn't slavery and it isn't racially motivated.

It is motivated partly by nanny state do-gooders and partly by the criminal industrial complex that provides very well paying careers to hundreds of thousands of cops. prison guards, lawyers and judges.

[Rooster]

Two things about working in prison:
One, idle hands are the Devil’s workshop and
Two, prisoners are paid for their work, just not very much, so it does not qualify as slavery.

The modern US carceral state has its roots in slavery.

[Left Seater]

Is anyone really surprised some of the Liberals that post here have issues with prisoners working? Hell their hero wants to provide an income for this unwilling to work. Why should prisoners be any different?

You are an idiot. If you don’t work they can literally take away credits and make you stay longer.
Let me guess, you still haven’t read the 13th am.

It’s racist and motivated by money and it is slavery. Read the fucking Constitution.

Nobody cares if they work. I’m talking about involuntary servitude. The 13th amendment isn’t that long you should read it some time.

[Joe in PB]

Nobody knows when an illegal alien is kidnapped....

Illegals aliens that end up as slaves is all about our government, especially those who champion open borders, but have no plan. Of course its diffecult to formulate a plan when illegal alien numbers are unknown. That's why the US has legal immigrantion policies.

Allegedly some of the wealthiest in the world, like those in the Bilderburg group are Satan worshipers, and as such perform pedophilia and worse on a regular basis. The good news is the censoring of these allegations must mean they can't be true....

No, they don’t stay longer than the sentence they’ve been given. If you’re attempting to make the case that with good behavior a prisoner gets time shaved off his sentence, but then has it placed back onto his sentence because of some infraction of the rules, that is an entirely different matter. But nobody gets penalized with a longer jail term beyond what the judge hands down from the bench if the prisoner refuses to work.

But none of what we talking about here is slavery unless you stretch the meaning of the word beyond all recognition.

Read the fucking 13th amendment you stupid tard. Slavery was never outlawed. It’s amazing how ignorant and stupid you people are.

[Left Seater]

Not for those convicted of a crime. If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.

Ok, so what? What does the 13th Amendment have to do with time taken off your sentence for good behavior, only to be tacked on again for bad behavior behind bars? Look, Chucklehead, you’re the one who brought that up— not me. I swear, you were given a bottle of leaded paint chips to drink as a baby for as absolutely stupid some of your posts are. If you really are a lawyer, I can only imagine that you’re one of those court appointed ones at the very bottom of the list, because I’m picturing every last client of yours demanding to represent themselves after listening to you spout nonsense for five minutes.

[Kierland]

That’s how they keep you longer you pathetically stupid fuck. Did you even read the 13th amendment?
Think it through. If amendment says involuntary servitude is outlawed then when guard says “work” and prisoner says “get bent” he wins in court because guard can’t make him work involuntarily.
This way when he says “get bent” guard says “ok I’ll just take your credits or put you in the hole or send you on the chain gang anyways” and that is what happens. That’s slavery you stupid totalitarian racist fuckhole.

[Kierland]

Nice white flag you fat stupid racist fuck.

[Derron]

Nice white flag you fat stupid racist fuck.

You got anything else in your bag of lame smack besides this ?? Or do you just keep it on your clipboard ready to roll with 2 keystrokes ??

[Kierland]

Rooster waves a white flag and you blame me for pointing it out? I guess retards have to stick together eh tiny?

[Rooster]

White flag? What white flag? The 13th Amendment allows labor as a punishment for a crime. All I did was point out that your factoid is wrong in that should a prisoner refuse to work, more time cannot be added to their sentence handed down from a judge. Other penalties may be exacted, but not a longer sentence.

I see that you may have been arrested in Minnesota, Queerland. If we don’t hear from you soon we can assume this was you, a member of the Sovereign Citizen movement— one of those people who insist that our nation’s laws don’t apply to them.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/free-citizen ... ops-report

“The sovereign citizen ideology is a belief that individuals are “immune from federal, state, and local laws and that many Constitutional amendments are false.”

It also says supporters believe they have “unfettered authority to travel ‘on the land,’” and don’t have to pay government fees and taxes, “(rejecting) the authority of the government, law enforcement, and the courts.” In short, many believe the government is illegitimate.

[Kierland]

Nice straw man in the first paragraph. I have no idea what the rest of that bs was.
So to recap slavery is alive and well in America and Rooster is as dumb as he ever was.

[Rooster]

First it was the white flag comment and now you’re throwing out the straw man cliche? What’s next? That you’re giving it 110% and that there is no “I” in “team?” If posts were babyfood, midget, yours would be a nice bland Gerber rice and carrots meal.

[Kierland]

Again, how is it my fault for pointing out logical fallacies? You SHOULD be fucking with the people who drop them not the messenger.
