A group of black gun owners with the Elmer ‘Geronimo’ Pratt Pistol & Rifle Gun Club marched in a “Second Amendment Unity Walk” in Austin, Texas Saturday, calling attention to illegal immigration and demanding reparations.
They also attacked the Biden administration for, as they said, pandering to Asians after hate crime killings in Atlanta, but ignoring the killing of blacks in Buffalo by an avowed white supremacist.
Police led the march featuring scores of participants, many of whom open carried handguns and long guns. They chanted against illegals and demanded Biden “close the border.” They also demanded a hate crime bill to protect blacks from white supremacists.
According to the group’s leader, “General E.” this is their third year doing this “Unity Walk” and they claimed successes from both the first year’s campaign against no-knock warrants and the second year’s march drawing attention to a man supposedly held eight years without a trial.
“We need to start holding these politicians accountable,” General E. said. “Our vote isn’t something they can take advantage of anymore. Historically, black people have always voted Democrat for the last sixty years. We’re not going to give our vote away for free any more.”
The UK Daily Mail carried the story . . .
Armed activists with a coalition of black self-defense groups marched in Austin, Texas over the weekend calling for an end to illegal immigration and demanding that President Biden close the borders.
Some of the activists chanted ‘close the borders’ and ‘take your a** home’ as they marched toward the Texas Capitol in the ‘Second Amendment Unity Walk’ on Saturday.
The march was led by The Elmer ‘Geronimo’ Pratt Pistol & Rifle Gun Club. Their demands also included reparations for descendants of enslaved people and a hate crime bill protecting Black Americans.
The group faced opposition from a handful of Trump supporters and other protesters gathered at the Texas State Capitol to support January 6 defendants.
Saturday’s march comes after Texas Gov. Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey sent thousands of migrants by bus to Washington, D.C., New York City, and Chicago, Illinois – all three sanctuary cities that have pledged not to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
The gun-toting march gained the attention of some in the mainstream media who had previously sensationalized law-abiding Americans marching and protesting while armed.
When the Black Second Amendment march arrived at the Texas State Capitol, others were there.
The group did not take kindly to attendees from a rally for January 6 defendants (some of whom were argumentative, but others who were trying to welcome them) beginning to talk to them. pic.twitter.com/cMDbLuN6K3

General E. and his followers didn’t make friends with supporters of January 6th protesters who have been jailed by the Biden Administration. In fact, the Unity March people described the January 6th people as “White privilege at its finest.”
And in case anyone thought the group’s criticism of Biden’s open borders and the open display of firearms meant support for Republicans, a speaker for the group said . . .
‘Republicans, do not dare to make the mistake of thinking you will get our vote just because we believe in exercising our Second Amendment.’
‘Yes, I’m talking to you Ted Cruz and Governor Abbott.’
‘Don’t think we are standing with you because we are against illegal immigration.’
As the Daily Mail reports, the group plans to return to the Texas state house next year to lobby for legislation.
Lmao these folks are just as confused if not more so than their opposition. Still, though… somethin somethin broken clock somethin twice a day etc…
YOU were never a slave. I was never a slave owner. Get over it and FO.
By the time the “reparations” flow through the bureaucracy and are divided up among the claimants, it would be at best a few thousand dollars each. Hardly an amount that will make any real difference to anyone.
So watch for more “protests” for more reparations.
As usual history illiterate gun owning bigots cannot see the forest for the trees.
For years I have called for Reparations as long as the funding source is the democRat Party. After all the democRat Party owns the legacy of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, lynching, Eugenics, the kkk, Gun Control and other race based atrocities. Atrocities that occurred not only in the South but also in the North, East and West…wherever there were bigots.
Equally blind are the marching Black Gun owners who do not have the sense to single out the democRat Party and hold the party monetarily responsible like the way democRats hold tobacco companies and other businesses responsible for age old wrongs.
A good portion of the aforementioned can be attributed to ignorance that allows the history rewriting media to go unchecked and remove race based atrocities from the neck of the democRat Party and hang it around the neck of the Party of Lincoln. And whose words assists the media? That would be Gun Owning bigots who use terms like baby mamas, Chiraq, etc. Then there are the knee jerk crime fighters who wager on a perp being Black all because the crime was close to Atlanta. Murderous perp turned out to be white and the betting bigots were nowhere to be found. With such ignorance and twisted thinking that does nothing but lend credibility to Gun Control it’s no wonder the 2A is constantly under attack.
Bottom line…A Black American belonging to the democRat Party makes as much sense as a Jew belonging to the nazi party.
Reparations need to come from Africa where their own people rounded them up and sold them to slave traders. What, you mean they are all dead as well as the slaves ? Seems no one has standing now, case closed.
You are confused about reparations, but you’re in a lot of company. Reparations is the payment the government makes to someone for taking their property, as in ‘reparations for property seized to build a road’.
The British payed reparations when they peacefully ended slavery, and it cost so much they only finished paying the loan off about 50 years ago. It also resulted in far less turmoil than the US executive order did.
Reparations go to the legal property owner. Slavery was (past tense) legal, so the money went to the slave-owners. The law had requirements of each owner to teach the slaves a trade (an apprenticeship) and to fund the freed people as an apprentice, giving them the normal apprenticeship fee on completion.
I know it seems shocking to pay ‘evil slave-owners’, but reparations at the time worked, and worked well. In the US the question of reparations is moot, no American living has any connection to slavery or is effected by it today.
Reparations are paid to survivors of oppressive actions perpetrated by a state or group. There are no living survivors of government sanctioned slavery, so these people are looking for free money.
Reread the 13th, remember we have 25% of the world’s prison population, and the cackling shrew of a VEEP extended sentences for more free labor while AG of California before you make that claim.
Super G is absolutely right; when it comes to reparations those advocating for it, ALL of them advocating for it, are nothing more than a bunch of corrupted lazed-ass gold diggers.
I’ll pay them to renounce their US citizenship for life and surrender their US passports to the DHS ICE Inspectors when they finally leave the country on a one-way flight to their perceived utopia.
I support reparations:
Reparations for the century-long epidemic of black-on-white crime.
Also LOL at the white cucks standing with these buffoons. Just cuz someone has a gun, doesn’t make it “cool”.
Don’t forget reperations for all descendants of Slavs from the Caucasus Mountains region.
Yes, the term Caucasian refers to those from that region. These were the Original slaves who were brought into the middle east as slaves, they were also CASTRATED so they couldn’t reproduce.
Funny how the term ‘slave’ is from Slav.
The OG slaves. 🤔
As a white American of European decent, I demand reperations for the wrongs done to ‘my people’.
https://youtu.be/TuMb4EEiOJ0
As a Scots American, I deserve reparations as my ancestors were brought to this country as indentured servants after my clan was all but destroyed. I demand justice!
Please pay my reparations in large bills.
Fiat money? The Fed Res will just print more and devalue your payment.
I want my payment in platinum, gold or silver. 😃
@JC
Solid bulwark against financial shenanigans seeing as platinum has been deplatformed by artifice.
Yes! Down with Poland and Germany! Kashubia will rise again! Them bas***ds owe me!
🤣
I support reparations if they agree to go back to their slave ancestors original birth place.
Just to show that it’s not a race thing I would also support payments to ANY Leftist no matter what color to go back to their immigrant ancestors birthplace.
or a socialist paradise of their choice.
Sounds more like a collage of mixed up ideas.
If they want to complain then they can start voting Republican and stop following the Democrat Party. They can choose to start being part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
They are free to form another party – our 2 party system has just polarized our country. While most of us want the same things, what floats to the top is our differences, which are exploited and turned into hate. Neither party wants limited government, they both want total control. Freedom means they step back to allow the citizens to be free and not support corporations and other causes.
“We, the People” does not include Corporations, a Federal standing Military, or even full time politicians.
I used to live in a large fully blue college city that had these showcase mass protest events on the green every weekend. They were all lefties 100% but they still got into ridiculous shouting matches with each other over weird niche causes and imaginary nonsense. Demonstrable evidence that they will eat their own when there are no more scapegoats to be had. Think nerds at a nerd convention arguing over comics or movies or other nerd crap. All of it meaningless, devoid of reality and way too heated for their own good.
The mental illness and cognitive dissonance with these people is boundless.
And free to get a job and quit looking for hand outs. They should think that they would be in Africa now instead of here. Cassius Clay went on vacation to Africa. Upon his return, the media asked him about his trip and he replied ” Glad my grand dad got on that boat “. Slavery was evil for sure but God can turn bad thing into a good outcome.
Californians Adjust To New Life In Texas >

We need to know where Beto O’Dork is on this ‘critical issue’.
His reparations would be in the form of gun buy backs.
I fully support and appreciate their position on 2A rights and being against illegal immigration and open borders. I am totally against the idea of “reparations”.
Yeah I agree. They lose me at “reparation’s”.
The only constitutionally legal argument for reparations is for reimbursement to the descendants of those who lost their property (slaves) to government seizures and actions. A surprising number of those are, however, black. The owner of the most slaves in Louisiana at the outbreak of the civil war was a black woman. In any case, I wait with bated breath to see who claims their just due.
‘Republicans, do not dare to make the mistake of thinking you will get our vote just because we believe in exercising our Second Amendment.’
This really should be all the proof you need. All those high numbers in gun sales the last couple years does NOT translate to Republican votes. You are being told very directly with no ambiguity. These are people that only see value because it means they can have guns. They do not understand how the Dems have fooled them and used them as tools.
When people tell you who they are, believe them.
Idk, factoring in the trolls here leaves that on shaky ground…
Actually that is a fair point there William 😂
Just shut up. My taxes have paid your reparations since I started WORKING. Taxes never paid for my food. Taxes never paid for me to have babies. Taxes never fed my babies. Taxes never fed me at school as I took my own food. Taxes never paid for my housing. Taxes never paid for my clothes. Taxes never paid for my school. Taxes never paid me to sit around on my butt and watch TV. You have been paid. Now shut up.
Very well said Chris, I have never gotten any of that either and i’m almost 70.
Thank You. I consider reparations “Paid In Full”.
I support their positions on 2A, and illegal immigration, can’t support someone who never was enslaved getting money from someone who never owned slaves. Someone who kills anyone because of race is just as bad no matter who is the victim or the perpetrator. They plan on replacing all of us not just whites. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the 1/6 political prisoners are black, I don’t know. We need to stand united. I would like to know what happened to my white privilege, I never got invited to the meetings. If you want an end to racism, stop being racist.
LMAO. Sure you have right to carry a firearm when you protest. Your protest is stupid. therefore YOU are stupid. Before going out all kitted up understand your gear. I particularly liked the individual at the :02 mark with the shotgun gripped in his right hand, no sling, and his 2nd sidearm barely strapped near his knee cap on the left, with no plates in his carrier. Oh and lets not leave out the Airsoft helmet wearing ninja at the :30 mark. So much asshatery .
he said it himself…yet he still thinks democrats will do things to help blacks.
yep dems help blacks alright…helps then stay on the democrat plantation.
These men need to wake up and realize it’s *not* the democrats they need to vote for.
No such thing as a “hate crime”. The reason for committing a crime is irrelevant. Increased penalties for a “hate crime” are wrong as well. The penalty should be the same no matter what the motivations. This kind of horseshit is what inspires class warfare.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
They’re all worked, losing their place in the ‘victim hierarchy’.
They voted for POS leaders who reward certain groups based on ‘victim status’, then cry when they see themselves knocked down a rung on the ‘victim ladder’. 🤣
The left ALWAYS eats their own, and the idiots who support the left ALWAYS cry while being consumed.😭
Such pathetic losers. 🤣
Assholes with guns. There are white ones and there are black ones.
Assholism knows no race.
Mrs Haz prefers the term “jackhole”, to convey a combined double-whammy whilst avoiding the utterance of a no-no bad word in polite company.
I appreciate that, but sometimes there is no other term that accurately describes an asshole other than the term ‘asshole’.
don’t deprive yourself. an extremely rich language, this.
Reparations? Seriously? In which direction?
“They chanted against illegals and demanded Biden “close the border.””
Blacks protesting against Brown people? That must be “The Black face of White Supremacy”.
And –
“General E. and his followers didn’t make friends with supporters of January 6th protesters who have been jailed by the Biden Administration. In fact, the Unity March people described the January 6th people as “White privilege at its finest.””
White privilege is being jailed for nearly 2 years without being charged?
And –
“Our vote isn’t something they can take advantage of anymore. Historically, black people have always voted Democrat for the last sixty years. We’re not going to give our vote away for free any more.”
As long as they aren’t voting Leftist Scum ™ Democrat, I’ll call that a win! 🙂
Your comment is awaiting moderation

The fact they support reperations shows what party gets their vote. These aren’t conservative.

These folks are pretty late to the game. Texas already has a hate crime bill, has for decades, and reparations have been ongoing for even longer than that.
Their SPECIAL…🖕🏿
A good place to start collecting reparations might be the American party of slavery, you know the Democrats?
Don’t encourage the Dems to collect more taxes.
Well, it was the white Libertarians Liberals and Leftists. Along with the white atheists and the white h0m0sexu@ls and the white f3minists. All who disagreed with the Christians when they said a father is necessary in the home.
They were all quite happy to replace the black father with a welfare check. And replace his guns, love, and discipline, with the guns of a big city police department.
I support always supported the open carry of firearms by every law-abiding citizen. The 2A is for everyone. If you don’t like open carry by civilians??? Then stay home. Use Uber Eats. I’m sure you can find some other private service, you can pay, to have your shopping delivered to your home.
How do reparations help black people??? Who will spend that money in a white owned a grocery store. Or a white Owned Car Dealership. Or a white owned jewelry store, etc, etc.
I don’t see how welfare helps black people. Even though the white Three L’s and the h0m0sexu@ls and the Atheist insist on having black people get it from the government.
Because they have publicly said the traditional family of one man and one woman is outdated. Which makes them, to me, seem to agree with what Black Lives Matter, has publicly stated in their Manifesto.
“That traditional family of one man and one woman has to be destroyed.”
btw
Remember when you supported the civil rights of KKK marching, in the streets and carrying guns concealed??? Back in the 1970’s
This is the very definition of Confused.
Agree.

Open borders does more damage to the black community than any other. Families that struggle at minimum wage cannot compete against illegals that work for less off the books. Open borders accelerate the destruction of the black community.
Who supports open borders? The racists of the fascist left.
+100
Open borders does more damage to the black community than any other.
Well except the 80% single parent rate. Lack of fathers destroyed blacks long before the border was opened. But yeah, the open border is icing on the fatherless cake.
The truth is open borders and the destruction of the nuclear family hurts everyone, irregardless of race. Black people are just more affected by it than other races. White people are more affected by it than Asians. It’s Democrat policy to cause these problems.
“cannot compete against illegals”
The same liberal that says minimum wage should be a “living wage” is paying illegal immigrants to roof their house and mow their yard. I know some. They were even telling me the price difference on some of the work. It’s amazing how they can be so detached from reality.
Take a look at the Chicago crime stats on HeyJackass, then tell me why y’all should be allowed to have guns.
Nobody should have to explain to anyone why they exercise a human and constitutional right. If they commit a crime then explanations can be given in court.

They had me right up to “reparations.” Generally I think trying to extort money from someone who’s great great great grandfather might have done something to your great great great grandfather is moronic. But if this bunch want reparations for the enslavement of their ancestors, then I suggest they go to Africa and demand the descendants of the people who put their ancestors in chains and enslaved them pay for what was done.
What a farce. There’s not a single one of these people (if hooked up to a lie detector) that would say that they would prefer to live in their ancestors homeland. If they did I’d gladly give them reparations to leave here for good.
If they went back “home”, they will be outsiders to the locals.
My people came over, mostly from Ireland, when all the potatoes rotted. We missed the opportunity to purchase one. Therefore I don’t owe them jack shist.
So did mine, and became slave labor alongside the Coolies building the railroads for pennies per day.
Where does the line form for our reparations?
Just saying, my family were share-croppers. Hell, we were broke down country poor for generations, until my parents finally got their shit together and realized the American Dream. That’s a lot of generations of poor white trash, NO ONE helped us. But I don’t want you all to give me money, none of you owe me a damn thing. Reparations… HA! What a joke.
This is absurd. Black on white crime is much higher. Also my grand and great grand parents came to America in 1891 and 1912 and never owned a slave, how would I owe reparations???
More misguided and unfortunately ignorant group.
only because they choose their victims carefully..,.tell the SOBs to pick someone prepared for them…
So who are they voting for? Democrats aren’t closing the borders or respecting their rights. Libertarians might respect their rights but they’ll leave the border open. Are they just not voting?
The above statement by d is entirely coherent, therefore it must be from FAKE dacian
The real Dacian wants to pay reparations. But with other people’s money.
Well stop voting DNC then and the borders will close and you are not getting ANY “reparations” at all “i never owned a slave and YOU NEVER PICKED COTTON!” so its done..
.but close those borders and all the money the DNC BLOWS in the billions on illegal aliens will get sent on you all and ME.
The DNC only wants the borders open for the votes they might get and thinks that the ‘black vote is in the bag’ because they think you are all to STUPID to vote for anything else!
MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE RIGHT!
Ok, so you’ve got “Historically, black people have always voted Democrat for the last sixty years. We’re not going to give our vote away for free any more.” on one hand, and “Republicans, do not dare to make the mistake of thinking you will get our vote…” on the other. So where does that leave you? Green Party? Socialist? Maybe do a CHOP annex?
They’re trying to use what leverage they have to lobby their political party of choice. Without the threat of voting Republican, the Democrats will give them some lip service but laugh at them behind closed doors.
This group has probably bought into the whole Republican equals racist lie. The funny thing is Republicans are called racist when they agree with this group about border control. Logic evades them.
Reparations just another word for welfare. Who are they kidding. Why should anyone repay the descendants at this point in time. Just another handout for those too lazy to work.
My perspective on providing reparations leads me to a very similar response as my perspective on the morality of hunting. As soon as someone can prove to me that I enslaved them, I will compensate them. Similarly, as soon as an elk asks me not to shoot and eat it, I won’t.
His reparations would be in the form of gun buy backs.
Like I’ve said before, the majority of the country is against illegal immigration. That includes Democrats. The hard left cultural bubble doesn’t want people to realize that. The same goes for late term abortion. Guess what? Most of the country doesn’t want to be forced into buying expensive, cumbersome EV’s either. People don’t like inflation either which will get worse as they force the transition away from affordable energy. Our current leaders are extremely radical and anti-American. They’re able to get away with it because they own the culture.
Im am all for giving them their $2 and change… we will set it on the market values back then for 40 acres and a mule…then they can have a coke and a smile and stfu.. I owe them nothing…they can file a lawsuit against the Zulu nation kings….
I want reparations for East Prussia. I’m not holding my breath though.
amen.
ein hoch auf preussich friedland!
In order for reparations to work, they’d have to prove their ancestors were slaves and they’re currently fully employed (at least trying to make a living) and living at the poverty level. It wouldn’t make sense to pay people like the Obamas, Oprah, etc. reparations.
The only people who should pay them the reparations should be people with ancestors who owned slaves. They would have to have a high level of wealth or income. That’s the reasoning right? Some people benefited from slavery and some people did not.
So who would pay? People like Beto, Kamala, and Ben Affleck. They’re descended from slave owners and doing well for themselves. I say let them pay. Let’s be done with this. Then never bring it up again.
Reparations? Sounds like more free sh1t.
I want my reparations for all the excess taxes I’ve paid over a lifetime of work just to support a bunch of grifters.
Make my check payable to “cash.”
It’s impossible to take these people seriously, ever. Let’s just watch the news, or look at statistics from Chicago, or New Orleans, the only people they need protection from is themselves. I also bet that Asian people might have something to say as well, who’s the main perpetrator of Asian hate crimes? Anyway.
I’m IRISH, where is my reparations from when my ancestors were bound and forced on ships to all the new world areas? Guess what, I don’t want any and don’t expect any, but I will say my ancestors of old, and all the way forward to me of this time have been paying all the reparations already in forms of taxes for the continuing freebies, welfare, etc., etc., etc., and the mountains of government handouts to the black community…..so get the f’n shit out of my face!
Irish….The Slaves That Time Forgot
They came as slaves; vast human cargo transported on tall British ships bound for the Americas. They were shipped by the hundreds of thousands and included men, women, and even the youngest of children.
Whenever they rebelled or even disobeyed an order, they were punished in the harshest ways. Slave owners would hang their human property by their hands and set their hands or feet on fire as one form of punishment. They were burned alive and had their heads placed on pikes in the marketplace as a warning to other captives.
We don’t really need to go through all of the gory details, do we? After all, we know all too well the atrocities of the African slave trade. But, are we talking about African slavery?
King James II and Charles I led a continued effort to enslave the Irish. Britain’s famed Oliver Cromwell furthered this practice of dehumanizing one’s next door neighbor.
The Irish slave trade began when James II sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. His Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.
Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.
From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well.
During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.
Many people today will avoid calling the Irish slaves what they truly were: Slaves. They’ll come up with terms like “Indentured Servants” to describe what occurred to the Irish. However, in most cases from the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish slaves were nothing more than human cattle.
As an example, the African slave trade was just beginning during this same period. It is well recorded that African slaves, not tainted with the stain of the hated Catholic theology and more expensive to purchase, were often treated far better than their Irish counterparts.
African slaves were very expensive during the late 1600s (50 Sterling). Irish slaves came cheap (no more than 5 Sterling). If a planter whipped or branded or beat an Irish slave to death, it was never a crime. A death was a monetary setback, but far cheaper than killing a more expensive African.
The English masters quickly began breeding the Irish women for both their own personal pleasure and for greater profit. Children of slaves were themselves slaves, which increased the size of the master’s free workforce. Even if an Irish woman somehow obtained her freedom, her kids would remain slaves of her master. Thus, Irish moms, even with this new found emancipation, would seldom abandon their kids and would remain in servitude.
In time, the English thought of a better way to use these women (in many cases, girls as young as 12) to increase their market share: The settlers began to breed Irish women and girls with African men to produce slaves with a distinct complexion. These new “mulatto” slaves brought a higher price than Irish livestock and, likewise, enabled the settlers to save money rather than purchase new African slaves.
This practice of interbreeding Irish females with African men went on for several decades and was so widespread that, in 1681, legislation was passed “forbidding the practice of mating Irish slave women to African slave men for the purpose of producing slaves for sale.” In short, it was stopped only because it interfered with the profits of a large slave transport company.
England continued to ship tens of thousands of Irish slaves for more than a century. Records state that, after the 1798 Irish Rebellion, thousands of Irish slaves were sold to both America and Australia.
There were horrible abuses of both African and Irish captives. One British ship even dumped 1,302 slaves into the Atlantic Ocean so that the crew would have plenty of food to eat.
There is little question that the Irish experienced the horrors of slavery as much (if not more in the 17th Century) as the Africans did. There is, also, very little question that those brown, tanned faces you witness in your travels to the West Indies are very likely a combination of African and Irish ancestry.
In 1839, Britain finally decided on it’s own to end it’s participation in Satan’s highway to hell and stopped transporting slaves. While their decision did not stop pirates from doing what they desired, the new law slowly concluded THIS chapter of nightmarish Irish misery.
But, if anyone, black or white, believes that slavery was only an African experience, then they’ve got it completely wrong.
Irish slavery is a subject worth remembering, not erasing from our memories. But, where are our public (and PRIVATE) schools???? Where are the history books? Why is it so seldom discussed?
Do the memories of hundreds of thousands of Irish victims merit more than a mention from an unknown writer? Or is their story to be one that their English pirates intended: To (unlike the African book) have the Irish story utterly and completely disappear as if it never happened.
None of the Irish victims ever made it back to their homeland to describe their ordeal. These are the lost slaves; the ones that time and biased history books conveniently forgot.
You forgot Scottish people were also shipped into slavery!!!
You , Sir are completely correct,
Since they DON’T teach history or geography in schools anymore, the uneducated people they are releasing into society, knows nothing about what you just commented on.
This is why if you have children in the public school system, YOU & your kids are getting screwed BIGGELLY…
LOL.
Turf wars
They should start back at the source mainly Africa if they want reparations. It’s unfortunate their “brothers” choose to sell them into slavery.
That’s kinda like blaming the liquor store for being a drunk isnt it?
Reparations,,,,, oh let’s see now. The injuns was put on the shittiest land the gov could find.
Cry me a river blackman, you got 40 acres and a mule.
Reparations were paid, 360,222 Union deaths and 258,000 Confederate deaths. Nearly 40,000 of the casualties were former Slaves and Freedman.
Slavery is historical and has been practiced by most every culture. Some still practice slavery today. It is estimated that 46 million people live in a form of slavery at this very moment. That number was 36 million in 2017. The US during those times had about 10 million slaves from when the British brought them here to the end of the Civil War. There are more slaves right now than the entire time of slavery here.
Where is the angst about those in slavery today? Why are the people demanding reparation’s for something they did not endure, not out trying to eradicate slavery that is happening now?
I fully and firmly support anyone’s right to legally keep and bear arms. I fully support closing the border and forcing congress to actually do their job in rewriting immigration laws.
As for reparations, absolutely. Go find those who owned slaves and get the money for those who were slaves. Bring a shovel. My ancestors on my father’s side came to the US in 1884. The settled in the upper mid-west. My mother’s family came to the US in 1872 and also settled in the upper mid-west. Farmers, loggers and crafts/tradesmen. Not a slave owner in the bunch. Just broke assed Scots, Scots-Irish and Norwegians.
The hate crime crap can end right now. if you go and commit an act of violence against someone, it usually isn’t because you are their best buddies.
👍
MORE AMMO , MORE MONEY , MORE RIGHTS , ME TOO …
WHAT EVER …
Samuel Langhorne Clemens had a cogent observation: “There is not a single square inch of Earth that is in the hands of its rightful owners.”
Old Sam knew whereof he spoke. The Mongols displaced the native Han and Qin Chinese. The Apache conquered and displaced dozens of tribes, as did the Cherokee, Pawnee, and Lakota. The famous “kente cloth” shawls that Malig-Nancy Pelosi and her merry band of idiots wore? “Kente cloth” was a symbol worn by the royalty of the Ashanti tribe, the biggest slavers in North Africa.
