This will be my last post to you. Speaking on a subject like this is tedious at its best, especially when you are trying to talk to someone who can only see from the outside in. There is not much you can say to those who refuse to see or discern with just eyes the cruelty Europeans have perpetrated against the Afrikan man of this earth, not to mention peoples of color in general (which happen to be the majority of the earth). There is NO place on earth that he European man has went where he has not caused utter chaos and destruction, and that is a FACT.

You speak of that which you clearly do not know and moreover do not want to know. The Afrikan chiefs that wrongly sold their slaves to the europeans, became slaves themselves. When the Afrikans did not barter with the Europeans, the European went in burning down villages and took all that lived, including the chiefs. Many Afikan kings, queens, and royalty of all types were also victims of the slave trade. Let us not get it twisted. The majority of slaves, which has been numbered over 25 million, were not sold by other Afrikans but were kidnapped.

The Arabs are also guily as their hand was in the slave trade, but like the Afrikan, they too have been victims of the system of white supremacy, having to “bow” to European ideologies and domination to survive. This fight contiues today, which we can see in the current war against Arab nations. The Arabs alliance with the European has been broken many times, and they have paid the price dearly, and continue to do so for their role in the slave trade of the Afrikan.

It is the European from whom I seek reparations because it is the European who has control of the earth at thi time. They oppress every other nation of people of color, with the Afrikan being at the bottom of the totem pole. Where ever the Afrikan man is, he/she is treated as the reproach of th earth because of the ideas surrounding white superiority black inferiority. That attitutude has dominated he globe, and even in many languages, we find black meaning negative/bad, while white means positive/good. This is not just a coincidence, but a system that has been carefully put in place to oppress the Afrikan man as it is the Afrikan, the seed of the first of the earth, that holds the keys to “heaven”. I’m going to stop here because again, this gets tedious when you are speaking to those who care not about the truth but love smooth words that soothe the heart.

Once you use right discernment and gain knowledge, you will know that I am far from lacking peace inside. It is time that the peace inside manifests itself to the earth.

BTW….I never said money…you ASSUMED money because you think physically. Reparations can come in many forms, and the reparations I speak of is liberation from European domination in every aspect of our lives and th removal of European forces from the motherland…”Afrika”.

Europeans don’t have to “sit aroound all night thinking about how to discriminate against blacks” because this discrimination is embedded in the institutions and the laws of this country. It’s very fibers are woven with racsism and injustice. Discrimination is not always conscious either, it is a learned behaviour and is very ofetne done subconsciously especially by those who say, ” and I have a black friend”….smh. As a great man once said, “The racism blacks face is not just in their imaginations”…

Truth ain’t negative…it’s just uncomfortable. Truth is hate only o those who hate the truth.

Maybe you are excusing your anger via self denial, and putting it off on them and using that bs you are feeding us as an excuse…

Maybe you should try to find some peace within yourself, and stop borrowing other people’s troubles — when you are happier, and nicer to others they will respond in kind.

Jackie me thinks you need to do some serious historical reading on slavery… Do you also want reparations from the blacks who kidnapped & sold blacks into slavery. Do you also want reparations from the Arabs who shipped the black slaves to the states and sold them? Do you also want reparations for the ancestors of WHITE SLAVES sold into slavery?

Oddly, You only want money from white folks for black slaves.

Just in case you didn’t know it, white folks don’t sit around at night plotting out how to discriminate against black people and ruin their lives. They are too busy with working, washing the clothes, feeding their kids, mowing the lawn, and all the day to day troubles life brings. They don’t have time for white guilt about something neither you, I nor them had any part of. They are too busy taking Tommy to the doctors, going to parent teacher’s conferences, making enough money to cover the electric & gas bills and making ends meet and living paycheck to paycheck. They may be working 2 jobs to get this daunting task done. And ironically they are not asking for a hand out from anybody, cause they are too busy taking care of business — their own business… And now you want a seat at their table? Freaky…

You are all about other people’s money.

How about the Ashkenazi Jews for being in concentration camps in GERMANY!!!

What about the Native peoples of this land?

Of course not.

So why then, when it comes to the Afrikan that has been enslaved for generations, did they end chattel slavery and push them into the world without any kind of reparation, not even a basic education? Then they look at the majoity of Afrikans in this country and pretend they are awed that so many still remain in poverty. First we had chattel slavery then it was followed by another century of Jim Crow, and now 40 years later we expect it all to be forgotten and/or forgiven, even while racism is alive and kicking in every institution in this country. Even to this day, it is more difficult for Afrikans to obtain loans to start businesses while every other nation can come into our communities and establish businesses, even the foreigner has better opportunities than the Afrikan whose ancestors shed their blood, sweat, and tears on this land. No nation has suffered more than the African in this country, and this suffering continues in disproportionate numbers among people of Afrikan descent. ! It is time that we all grew up and stop being so selfish.

Then you have the nerve to tell me about the Civil war and how many people died. The Civil War was NOT fought because or slavery. Lincoln could care less if the slaves were freed. My ancestors being freed from chattel slavery was a consequence of the south not succeeding to the north. Perhaps you should do a little research on that.

BTW…how can one NOT pay for the sins of their ancestors as they HAVE BENEFITTED graciously by the unjust, unright, wicked, system of racism that has been effectuated in evry institution their ancestors created??

Oh America paid its debt all right… Let’s see here are some quotes to digest…

“At least 618,000 Americans died in the Civil War, and some experts say the toll reached 700,000. … At any rate, these casualties exceed the nation’s loss in all its other wars, from the Revolution through Vietnam.

The Union armies had from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 men. Their losses, by the best estimates: 360,222 men died freeing slaves.

The Confederate strength, known less accurately because of missing records, was from 750,000 to 1,250,000. Its estimated losses: 258,000.”

PAID IN FULL by AMERICANS. How about a thank you for a free nation seeing the error of their ways, giving their lives & blood to right the wrong, and freeing slaves all across this country.

Ah lest us not forget that slavery started via the indentured slave — the white slave. When cotton took off the need for slaves took off and thus black slavery hit its height in the south. Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin, thought his invention would free slaves, in actuality it caused the cotton industry to explode and thus the demand for cotton & black slaves sky rocketed. Ironically.

So next time you see a white person, think, did this person’s ancestors die to free slaves, did this person’s ancestors die to keep slaves, did this person’s ancestors get to the US of A after the Civil War.

Honestly, why should anyone pay for something their ancestor did. If your brother kills a guy they don’t send you to jail, or his mother, or his father, or his cousin. Just him. That kind of thinking will have us all locked up. Every last one of us….

Obama trashed his senatorial opponent by going after sealed divorce court custody documents and destroying the man’s life & livelihood. That’s genuine? Unique? Above the fray? I am saddened that charisma over powers thinking skills in this world. No honest politician has ever come from Illinois since Abraham Lincoln. Stop swooning and start thinking, researching. Know the devil before you cast your vote for him. Stop thinking of politicians as Rock Stars or the second coming. The press has given this guy 84% positive press. No one in my life time has gotten that much positive press. Not even the Pope.

You’re barking up the wrong tree. I don’t know you and I haven’t messed with your profile on these blogs.

Some of you guys are so stupid. You don’t put your hand over your heart for the National Anthem. You put your hand over your heart for the Pledge. How many of you have gone to a baseball game and put your hands over your heart. Oh I forgot, you are the uneducated voters.

Google…..National Anthem and etiquette…….

And start doing it right…..In other words as a civilian, put your hand over you heart and either face the flag or the music.
