I’m not going into details with any posts in this thread but I can tell you what I do know…and feel. Blacks are worth more to certain party being poor and dependent then being thriving economic communities that contributes to overall society.
The wealth of that 1.5 trillion would trickle throughout the economy benefiting everyone…and tax revenue generated from that wealth would help greatly.
So we need to ask ourselves who benefit the most?
Irish slaves were sent to South America before the first black slaves were sent to Jamestown There is indentured servitude & there is slavery. The Irish were also sold into slavery. DO SOME RESEARCH. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looks like pretty tough requirements for indentured servants. 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.
Comfort zones.
Many do not like to tread beyond them. It is what they know and how they know to navigate.
Take some out of their comfort zones and they can thrive. Most don’t and want to return.
The topic is interesting.
One could assume that the economy is worth x amount of dollars. The difference is the way the wealth is split.
Others assume that the economy would automatically be larger if a group were more successful.
In the end, it’s all an assumption that the economy would be large.
It’s odd to me that every time African slavery is discussed you have to bring in the Irish. Do you think that African slavery wasn’t bad because there was Irish slavery too???
What’s odd is, the only history concerning slavery that is taught in our taxpayer funded public schools, is the slavery of blacks who were on white owned southern American plantations. What I said: Slavery is slavery is slavery. Blacks in the Americas owned slaves. They owned black & white slaves. African ( so called ) kings sold other blacks to Arab slavers. Muslims were the very keystone in the African slave trade. I can go into much more detail if you like. SO, TEACH IT ALL, OR TEACH NOTHING !
Not odd, it’s an agenda.
While we’re speculating, imagine if Americans hadn’t been murdering our unborn posterity, not just the babies but all of those that might have come from them too (some early victims after Roe could have been grandparents by now), and of course that includes a horrific percentage of black Americans too, and along with that AMericans had been making other good life choices all the while too rather than far too often act like a people who are coming under judgment?
How many trillions bigger would the economy been then?
We’d have never had any possible justification for turning a blind eye to illegal immigration because “we need the cheap labor”, either.
Lobby for what you want.
Why should a taxpayer have to lobby to have documented - recorded history taught in our taxpayer funded public schools? History is history is history. TEACH IT ALL OR TEACH NOTHING !
Remember, you get what you pay for.
Well that’s a good question Jim, but then on a whole host of subjects, do you realize how white washed and misleading much of American history is that we were/are taught in school?
