It might be funny as hell to you, but it's no joke to my people!

Well then do all the families of the people that died during the Civil War helping to free the slaves get an exemption ?

To me and I could be wrong you were making fun of slaves..

Im not making fun of anyone . Black people today dont need anything free from anybody , they can do it all themselves , just like whitey or the Latino down the street. Theres no reason a black person cant be or do anything on their own , without free money , which will do nothing but make one lazy. We have had a black President for crying out loud , what other job is there out there thats says I MADE IT ! than being the President of the US ?

 Overcome things on your own , dont expect anything from anybody , and that goes for everybody . There tons of examples of minorities making it without help , Clarence Thomas and Ben Carson , who I was wanting to be President and hopefully one day he will , come to mind .

I have nothing to do with what happened during slavery so no , I dont want my taxes going up to pay for something I had no part of. Its a sad time in Americas history but like I said , we have had a black President , that should be a big enough , UP YOURS ! to whitey to show them how far the black man has come .

No I think he is making fun of the movement today. I could see it done back then but those days are long long gone.

Let me see if I got this right.  White people who never owned slaves need to pay black people who never were slaves money, despite their white Union soldier ancestors fighting and dying to free the slaves?  America as a country was born in 1776, but gets the blame for slavery despite it being a system that was inherited from England, France, Spain, Holland, and Portugal with African black tribal chiefs capturing and selling them the slaves to bring to the New World.  America had slavery for 89 years and has NOT had slavery for 155 years.  The Republican party formed in 1854 to fight slavery.  The first Republican President Abe Lincoln is elected in 1860, and the Democrat party Confederate states seceded from the Union to fight a Civil War.  The Democrats lose the Civil War and Lincoln frees the slaves.  The Democrats start the KKK to kill and intimidate blacks.  The first black members of the U.S. Congress were Republican party.  The Democrats imposed segregation and the Jim Crow laws.  When the Civil Rights movement was happening the Democrats voted against civil right for blacks.  The Leader of the black civil rights movement Dr. Martin Luther King was a Republican.  Democrats finally capitulated to vote to give blacks more civil rights and Democrat President LBJ said "I'll have those n*****s voting Democratic for the next 200 years."  Now, fast forward to 2020 and Democrats and fake news media claim President Trump is a racist, all Republicans are racists, Donald Trump and all Republicans are KKK, Lincoln is a racist, the American flag is racist, and we all owe blacks money for reparations.  Meanwhile, Joe Biden says if you vote Republican you ain't black.

With all solemn respect E-Man, and believe me I grade out very progressive according to the standards of this board, My Great-Grandfather spent four years of his life dodging bullets and disease and sleeping in the rain and snow to help make your people free. No regrets, don't want a parade,  thousands of men did the same, including freed blackmen. What is the old saying? "Every drop of blood shed by the master's lash will be paid for in blood drawn by the sword" I can never know what it means to be a black person , and I regret the actions of my forefathers who had slaves but let's move on. Let's be one country. We have huge challenges ahead and a house divided cannot stand.

Amen. Over 600,000 men died in the Civil War. Both black and white blood stain this country. Politics aside, let’s come together in peace and move this country forward.
