Were Your Ancestors Oppressed, Take The Quiz!
2021-06-15
[BabylonBee] The nation is abuzz with talk of reparations. Hooray! Giving people whose ancestors were oppressed money -- paid out of the pockets of people whose ancestors oppressed people -- is all the rage.

But how do you know if your ancestors were oppressed? Luckily, we've done all the research, so all you have to do is take this internet quiz.
Quiz at link...

#10  Dron66046 2021-06-15, I could be wrong but I believe the New Zealand Maori are the exception. They fought the British to a draw. Still lost their country but i don't believe they were oppressed.

#9  Quizzes are raaaaacist and, therefore, I did not take it.

I am, however, certain that my great-great-great-great-Grandfather was once called a [Lightly-]Smoked Irishman, and am, therefore, entitled to my boodle. Please send it to my Nigerian Prince-in-Waiting brother. Thank you!

#8  Some of my ancestors gave up fighting their oppressors after the Battle of the Thames in 1813 when Tecumseh fell. By the Civil War they had joined their former oppressors in fighting at the Battle of the Crater and Petersburg. Some died at Andersonville.

#7  All that my ancestors could bequeath me was my genetic complement. Nobody could mess with that at all until mRNA vaccines came along. Just sayin...

#6  Seen on twitter:
"This is the USA. There is no one coming to our rescue If things go sideways. No one will be rescuing us, no one will be dropping food, ammunition, medicine. There's no place to escape to for freedom. THIS IS IT."

#5  Everybody's ancestor was oppressed at some point in history. It's just a matter of how far back you want to take it.

#4  Yes, but they either rose up and kicked the oppressor's asses or moved to a free country.

#3  Bavarians were oppressed by Charlemagne, Swedes, Austrians, French, Prussians. Currently by a Franconian. Otherwise we're fine.
