NYC council passes slavery reparations legislation to 'yield material solutions' from US history
2024-09-13
[FoxNews] Does NYC have the cattle to back up that big hat? I thought they were going broke paying for all the illegal immigrants Florida and Texas are so generously sharing with them in a really effective Alinsky move.

#6  If those Ohioans knew the future, I wonder if they would have fought so willingly. Wasn’t there a draft for the CW?

#5  Ohio’s population in 1860 was 2.3 million including 37,000 African American. 300,000 served in the Union forces, more than 10%. 35,475 Ohioans died, almost as many deaths as all US forces in the Korean Conflict. Based on the rural nature of Ohio, at the time, it is conceivable that half of the men that died never met an African American prior to their enlistment. The same ratios would likely hold for other states. They were an amazing generation.

#3  Anyone accepting reparations must forfeit their citizenship, forfeit all assets and property and never return to this country under pain of immediate summary execution and NO descendants of theirs may ever claim US citizenship.

#1  Reparations were paid 1861-5. On a rough calculation the 39,000 from NY were in a country that was 1/10th size it is today. So in modern projection that would be 390,000 in today's population.
